![]() The Future of Another Timeline by Annalee Newitz is about two girls: Beth and Tess. Beth, a high schooler, struggles with her father who has a mental illness and is strict with her. Beth’s friend, Lizzy, kills a man who raped her friend. Beth’s friends continue on a path of murdering rapists. Beth is tied between being their friend and separating herself from them. Tess is a time traveler who is trying to fix the laws that restrict women by making small edits in the timeline. She has a time war with a group of men who are trying to change laws that restrict women’s rights. Tess tries to help Beth to separate herself from her malicious friends. In a previous timeline Beth commits suicide to get away from Lizzy. In a future timeline Tess stops Beth from killing herself. I heard this book being mentioned on NPR. This book was interesting to me. The chapters switch from Beth’s perspective to Tess’ perspective. I enjoyed reading Beth’s chapters more than Tess’ chapters, because it was easier to follow her timeline. I thought the jumping back and forth in the timeline was confusing and did not understand how their small edits could change the future, but as I kept reading I grasped the concept of how their edits fixed the timeline -AN, grade 10
