Thoroughly enjoyed this clever and unpredictable time loop story.

In my new interview with writer Roz Dineen, she talks about how her new sci-fi novel, "Briefly Very Beautiful," takes place I'm a post-apocalyptic world, but one in which people, "...take it for granted as a back-drop," an idea she got from a classic show about a house.

This one starts real strong, especially the hopefully not biographical "Helena."
