Shortly before his wedding, the unnamed hero of this book is visited by a man who claims to be his future self and who tells the hero he must not marry the love of his life, Q. At first the protagonist doubts the stranger, but then becomes convinced of the authenticity of the warning and leaves his financée. More appearances by future selves give other warnings until the only constants in the protagonist's life is his love for his New York City home and his former fiancée Q.
I was surprised how quickly I read this book; I was not expecting to finish it so soon but I just could not put it down! I highly enjoyed this novel and all of the themes and questions that were posed throughout. I didn't expect such a novel containing a mesh of academic inquiry, philosophical musing and pop culture references to work but in the case of Q it did.
