I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.

Yesterday night (on the 13th of Feb) I just couldn’t sleep so I thought I would read this book, or well, I thought I would read it partially, but then in the end I just read it all. It was at times a bit of a struggle, and sometimes I just wanted to put it away. There were just elements I wasn’t enjoying. Thankfully, there were also some elements I did love.

😊 I liked the cover + the illustrations, they were fun! I like the style.
😊 It was fun that it was also about Gangsters and that at the end of the book we even got some history on gangsters and the likes.
😊 I loved the time machine and how chaotic and weird it was. How you needed to do all the right things + hold on to some slime because if chaos happens… you need slime.
😊 The addition of villains was something I liked.
😊 So much cheetos. Sorry, I do like some good cheetos, so I approve of that.
😊 Loved seeing what the various chaos levels did. From just sucking up people to rifts and purple lightning. Yup!

😕 But I am done and done and done with giving bullies a spotlight. I see it happen way too many times and I am just done. I don’t need to see them, they don’t need to play an element in the story. Just don’t.
😕 Elsa. I just had NO clue what was going on with her, I had several theories, and sadly the one that I was hoping wasn’t it happened to be the one. I had expected something epic.
😕 The book was just too much and too chaotic for me. I just never had the room to breathe or think, you were just dragged along even if you may not want to. Each time you thought they may get close to something BOOM, something would happen and we were back to square one. At times I had to re-read as things just sped by. At times I just took a small break.
😕 Why didn’t anyone hide that time machine better? If you know what it is and does and how bad it can all go, why not just bury it somewhere? Find a safer spot? Something? HELLO?
😕 I found Tommy and Liam at times just too annoying. Tommy I could kind of forgive as he is from ages ago and has no clue what to do in this world, but Liam, LORD boo just read something for a change. XD
😕 The ending, I had actually, probably because it was late and the read was so chaotic for me, forgotten about that part. Haha. But I guess, yeah that needs to be solved, but given we barely hear about it after it was told it just came out of the blue.
😕 There are time travel rules and they were all just broken.
😕 That adults, once again, are getting the short end of the stick. They get sucked into the machine for dumb reasons. They don’t hold enough belief because they are old. Can we just drop that crap? It gets old and annoying.

All in all, it had its moments, but we just didn’t click that well. I am still happy I had the chance to read it, so thank you to the publisher/Netgalley.
