Back to front. Front to back. In between. This is pretty much the feeling I had when I read the story. I think the title is fitting. The beginning chapters took some curve balling to understand what was going on. I realised after some rereads, the story began at an absolute present time. It jumped to a past of a character POV. The chapters following track through the earlier lives of the six key characters. This is an ensemble story, so there are 6 x MC to get to know. I’m going to be honest, I found navigating through each six was sometimes a bit of a rough read. The many chopping and changing of time periods and perspectives disjointed the story flow for me that learning the characters didn't come quite naturally. I had to reread over earlier chapters to have it all sink in. It does become more structured towards the end. I was impressed with the character writing within chapters. Their perspectives were honest and real that I saw different relatable sides to a personality. It was top quality. I also felt this story was more slice of life with sci-fi themes than a romance fiction. It did have slow building romance between characters. I think this story is unique and original to what is on this site. The writing of characters is gold. Keep writing and thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the review. Yep, pretty much dead on. If I had written this today (and no, I don't plan a rewrite) I would have introduced the characters one by one. As it is now you're bombarded with six main characters plus a number of named supporting cast. I've also acted a little on your slice of life comment. It's 100% correct, so I added a line to the synopsis where I empahises the importance placed on friendship in this kind of story. Thank you once again for the review.
