This book felt like it came out of my own head. How many times have we all wanted to go talk to our high-school or middle-school selves & tell them to lighten up or knock some sense into them? Or pondered what we’d be like years from now if we’d made different choices?

The story shifts perspective between different aged versions of Henry, while Gabe’s & Val’s perspectives each stay in the present. If that sounds a little confusing, it’s because it is. Without spoiling anything else, I’ll just say that the switching between the Henrys takes a second or two to get used to.

But my initial problem was that a lot of the exposition came from long conversations between Henry & the men who claim to be his future selves. However, eventually this gets woven into the story more & I got the flow of it. I became invested in the plot & wanted to know how it would end. I think I’ll read it again because it’ll be interesting now that I know the trajectory of what happens.

The characters were great. They felt familiar to me. The dialogue made sense & felt natural for the age group this is directed at. Don't be put off by the love triangle, it's fun & it works.

Although it’s not the book’s main focus, I loved the small musical references here & there, & the one or two passionate passages about Henry’s drumming. The title makes more sense once you’re almost done with the story, but sounds are Henry’s obsession & it’s sort of a tool for time travel.

Overall a great read. I was pleasantly surprised & look forward to reading more from this author.
