I'm going to say - and please don't take it as a criticism - that ''All Our Yesterdays'' is 70% romance and 30% sci-fi. While the various scientific ideas and potential paradoxes involved in time travel are discussed and reasonably carefully incorporated into the intricate plotting, this is primarily a romantic novel about the relationships between a girl and two boys. I feel as though saying this is somehow denigrating the book. I don't think it is, but I do think avid sci-fi readers might not get what they are looking for here. So it does bear pointing out. Watch the trailer video on the right. It explains things perfectly!
But for those looking for a truly enjoyable romantic novel with a dash of thriller in a fresh and unfamiliar setting, ''All Our Yesterdays'' ticks all the boxes there are. It opens with a bang. It's exciting. It develops a central character in two time frames, which is incredibly fresh. It has a fiendishly complicated plot. And it's desperately, wonderfully romantic.
''All Our Yesterdays'' is a crash-bang-wallop of a debut. It's going to find many fans. I'm absolutely sure of it.
