Consider This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal elMohtar. Recommended by 6 sources.
“This Is How You Lose the Time War is a compact, lyrical epistolary novella pairing time‑travel spycraft with an enemies‑to‑lovers romance. It unfolds through stylized letters that prioritize voice, metaphor, and sensory detail over mechanical explanation. What works best is intense, intimate emotional writing and imaginative imagery; the main limitation is deliberately thin worldbuilding and an elliptical plot that leaves many questions unanswered. Best read slowly so the language lands—it's more mood‑piece than procedural sci‑fi.”
