Review of “Quantum Love Story” by Mike Chen

I don’t know if this was a delightful twist on the time loop story or not, but it kept my attention. Mostly because I was hoping for a different ending. No surprise ending here, just a confusing and in-the-knick-of-time finish for a story that wasn’t going anywhere. (No surprise since it’s about a time loop.) I noticed the rate of grammatical errors and awkward sentences increased more than most books after the halfway point, and it isn’t that long.
A lot of the sentences were poorly assembled, forcing me to reread them; I hate rereading sentences and paragraphs. The grammar is fine, however. Note that this is not a NYT bestselling book–the author sold a lot of copies of an earlier book.
I liked the characters and the romantic part is well done. Unfortunately the author had to write himself out of a dilemma; no problem with science fiction, just introduce time travel and time paradoxes to keep the tension high. It doesn’t hurt to have a time-traveling AI buddy from the future do the hard work. I don’t mind the fuzzy details about time travel because that is speculative at any rate.
Like I said, I was hoping for a different ending, instead of a traditional finish. Overall, this is an interesting book, even if the romance never got off the ground.
