Publisher's Summary

What if our 24-hour day grew longer, first in minutes, then in hours, until day becomes night and night becomes day? What effect would this slowing have on the world? On the birds in the sky, the whales in the sea, the astronauts in space, and on an 11-year-old girl grappling with emotional changes in her own life? One morning, Julia and her parents wake up to discover, along with the rest of the world, that the rotation of the earth is noticeably slowing....

Couldn’t put down but nothing happened?

It’s super strange and I don’t know why but I really enjoyed this book considering how nothing really happens, it’s like watching those movies where it’s super slow burn and about someone’s life that’s really not all too interesting? But also super interesting at the same time?

Genuinely would recommend if you’re in the mood for a good book that doesn’t set your anxiety off. The narrator I really enjoyed, I felt like her voices were believable and not over the top.

Not what I expected

I bought this audiobook because it was among a list of recommended sci-fi that is supposed to be similar to Annihilation be Vandermeer.

It has turned out to be more of a coming of age fiction than a sci-Fi.

If you are looking for a true sci-fi written with imagination and thought-provoking theme, then it is not for you.

If you are into a slow-paced coming-of-age story of a self-absorbed young teen, 3 chapters spent on describing the mundane world of a suburb, and something always brushing against a character’s legs as she walks away, then this book is for you.
