Review: interesting ideas,  needs work on the execution

This is an odd duck of a book.  Bit post apocalyptic world,  bit m/m romance, quite a bit of theology and religious discussion and quite sad conclusion.  I read it from start to finish,  so that's an automatic 3 stars from me,  but as I was reading,  I was mentally editing,  cutting away this sentence,  clarifying the other.  I wish a sharper outside eye had looked over this book before publication.  There are some good and interesting ideas here. I loved the time travel fantasy that felt so real for TJ as he felt so powerless.  I didn't even mind the 'neighbors'.  It was just not sufficiently well written,  it really needed 3 more full drafts.  So good ideas,  too average execution.  But it was 99 cents and had some new ideas,  so on the whole it was worth the investment.
