I'm not going to beat around the bush: *The Psychology of Time Travel* just didn't click for me.I received a review copy from the publisher, which I really appreciate. I accepted because the premise sounded right up my street.I went in – rightly or wrongly – expecting science fiction, about a group of female scientists who discover how to successfully time travel, and then a murder happens and they use their abilities to solve it.What I got was…sort of that.I'd say this is more literary fiction,...

“When you’re a time traveller, the people you love die, and you carry on seeing them… The only death that will ever change things is your own.”This is a really original, female-focused take on time travel, with a strong emphasis on mental health, plus a locked-room murder mystery. It moves quickly in short chapters, each titled by the year and name(s) of the main character(s), all in plain language. If you're looking for insightful book reviews on time travel novels, this one's for you.It’s good...

I was actually planning to skip this one – the title didn't really grab me, and I have so many other books on my TBR pile. But the buzz from other book reviews, plus the fact that "The Psychology of Time Travel" by Kate Mascarenhas was available on NetGalley, made me decide to give it a shot, and I'm so glad I did!It's a story about four women who invent a time machine, and what happens to them and their invention once it becomes public. More importantly, the book focuses on the people involved ...

Time travel is a complex subject. From my childhood days of reading 'The Time Machine' by H. G. Wells and watching the movie 'Back to the Future' to my adulthood escapes into devouring several new books about the topic, it's been prevalent all my life. Often the theme focuses on 'what would you change about the past' and 'what happens if you alter reality.' While those ideas are covered in Kate Mascarenhas' novel, "The Psychology of Time Travel" also focuses on exactly what the title implies -- ...

3.5 stars – an epic tale for Traveling Sisters!!!Full review on my blog at Recipe and a Read! This was such a unique and fascinating story about four women who pioneered time travel in 1967, and the consequences of that choice and ability. This book was 100% #LADYPOWER and I absolutely loved that. I think by centering the story around women, Kate Mascarenhas was able to add a deep empathy to the effects of time travel and how it touched those involved, and those on the sidelines. There are th...

When four female scientists create the world's first-time machine in 1967, they had no idea how they would alter the world (or themselves). These women were known as pioneers, each with her own specialty to assist each other in the development of the time machine. Fifty years later, time travel has taken off. Ruby Rebello's grandmother, Granny Bee, was one of the original pioneers. Ruby has always been curious about her grandmother's past and her contribution to time travel, so when her grandmot...

Time travel books are generally hit or miss with me. Some of my favourite and LEAST favourite books (cough.. Outlander... Cough) are time travel related. I really enjoy the concept and find it really clever how some authors navigate it. I really enjoyed this one. It was different to anything I have read before, and confused me at times... But at the same time I enjoyed it immensely. In the 1960s, four women invent a time-travel machine. The world is their oyster! But one of them suffers a menta...

Time travel is a fantastic concept, practically limitless in its possibilities. An author could take their book anywhere, to anyone – it could be so many things. I’d love to see more time travel books out there.The Psychology of Time Travel explores a ton of ideas and really plays with reality. Kate Mascarenhas chose to focus on the cognitive effects of this epic exploration. What happens to our minds when they're stretched too far? Does our sanity start to crumble when subjected to such a mind-...
