Time travel in this book is a result of a odd genetic disorder. Enough said. One only travels in time with one's own genetic material, but memories are part of that. Enough said. The primary paradox of time travel explored is the issue of free will. While it is addressed multiple times the book doesn't get bogged down with exploring the issue and instead quickly reaches the conclusion that you can't change anything. The main character is able to travel both forward and backward in time but randomly with some preference for important events. A wonderful twist that is used to great effect throughout the story.

However, despite all the nifty time traveling aspects of the story they are primarily there to serve the love story. A love story of longing. Longing but knowing. Maybe not always knowing exactly but longing knowing that something will come to pass. With love comes sorrow but neither is written with melodrama, which makes it very approachable. Overall a wonderful book that I highly recommend.
