I really enjoyed this novel. Something pulled me in and kept me reading. I felt quite emotionally invested in the characters, even though they sometimes disappointed me. There is something magical within this book underneath its flaws. Yes, it was too long and some of the more explicit words (The c-word isn't really sexy or appropriate in any case) could have been left out. The time-travel, dates, etc. can get very confusing if thought about too rationally. But overall, something makes me want to like this book so I do. I think it's worth a read. In the end I cried, so that's a sign that even if I can't explain why, I really was into a story.
amazing book! I couldn't wait to get home from work so that i could read more. Its a HUGE book but definitely a page turner. highly recommended!
I listened to the audio version of this book. I loved it! Completely original. Great story-telling. Wonderful character development. A romance for even the jaded heart. I can't say enough good things about this book. I'd highly recommend it to anyone.
This may be one of those books that most people enjoy -- just not me! I only got to chapter 19 or 132 chapters and I just can't bear it anymore. So glad this one was free in the Audible Plus catalog.

Great book! Loved following along as their love and adoration grew. It was endearing to watch Henry go through his struggles. We wish we can travel in time but it really was difficult for him.
