And there aren't any explanations for it (which was one of my pet peeves), so you don't need to wrap your head around abstruse concepts.Roberta R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18228840429799100354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2381281230448720689.post-45045874091220282562020-08-26T21:38:04.917+02:002020-08-26T21:38:04.917+02:00I think I've told you - about a hundred times,...I think I've told you - about a hundred times, lol - that sci-fi is not a genre I actively seek out, but I'm tentatively adding this to my wishlist. It sounds pretty good - I really appreciate the diversity and the good parents in particular, and the romance sounds good.

IT was a great contemporary - just not the sci-fi I was expecting. I'm glad you enjoyed it overall though.

That probably wouldn't be a problem for me. But, it sounds like there are a lot of loose threads, and I am not a fan of that.
