Quite an interesting read! I like time travel stories, but they can spin out of control quickly. This one stayed pretty grounded and I thought the cop TV show framing device was interesting.

There were some definitely parts of the book that made me raise an eyebrow - especially the main character's internal-ish monologue and use of some words that I would associate with hypermasculinity. I'm thinking that this is intentional on the author's part to connect to this character's idolization of the TV show cop. It's something I'm still thinking on.

Bonus star purely for the 80's noir vibe. That said, I do have questions about some of the characters and what their purposes were. One, in particular, who seemed a bit of an Elizabeth Holmes examination.
