Passenger by Alexandra Bracken
I've been intrigued by this book & Truthwitch for awhile since they were both really hyped. Unfortunately, I had to kind of rush through this book because of the library's due date so I might have missed stuff but...
I found this book lacking. While I like Alexandra Bracken's writing, there were a lot of lengthy descriptions and just drawn out scenes that I found myself just skimming over. Too many unnecessary details. And while I like each individual character and the development, I feel like Bracken tried to force romance into this book which wasn't needed. The romance between Etta & Nicholas was classic insta-love and the fast progression of their relationship felt unnatural and unlikely. I just didn't see the chemistry and wish it wasn't such a big part of the book.
If I was to eliminate all of the extraneous details and romance, the plot is pretty good. I like the logic of time travel given as well. However, it has been done before, which leaves me wondering if I will read the sequel to this...

P.S. I stayed up until 4:30 AM to finish this!
