George is a
middle-management, middle-class, middle-aged guy who hates his job and
struggles to stay connected to his wife and teenage children. Most guys
might end up with a steamy affair and a flashy car for their midlife
crisis, but George gets a quirky, philosophical physics professor named
Shiloh. Trapped with this mysterious misfit on his morning commuter
train, George is dragged into awkward conversations about love, fear,
music, and the meaning of life. Shiloh asks George to beta-test an app
he wrote for the new Apple Watch--and with a free watch included, how
could he say no?
When tragedy strikes, throwing George out of
his uncomfortable comfort zone, he learns that Shiloh's app lets him
journey through alternate versions of his past. As challenges mount in
his own reality, George must make a decision that will change him--and
possibly the entire multiverse--forever. @goodreads
Wow! Who knew Apple had it in them....
George
is a middle age man that hates his job and is worried his life with his
wife is getting dull. They have two kids and they are set up okay. I
think wife is a little too bossy but it's the way it should be to a
certain extent =)
One day on the train to work, George meets
Shiloh and has a really great time talking to him. Shiloh is like a
walking encyclopedia < -- some might not know what that is so, like a
walking google of information!
They meet a few more times on
the train and Shiloh asks George to beta his app on the Apple watch. Who
knew a little watch could do so much, or should I say the app.
When
something bad happens in the family George goes back in time to try to
change everything. But things are not what they seem. To be honest I
can't really tell you if this is something I would want or not. I think
it would be great for when you're sad and want to go back but I think it
could also make you sadder. Who knows, keep your creepy watch to
yourself!
Some of the things in the book made my brain go numb when they talked smart stuff but over all I enjoyed this book.
I
got to know the people and actually cared about them. There were some
really sad things in the book but some of them had happy endings.
