A Worthy Time Travel Addition
Time travel fans gather round!Alright, this book won't hit your top five or six but it is a worthy addition to theTime Travel genre.OK, nobody goes very far, being confined pretty much to a beach, but this storytakes an interesting premise, where 2015 girl, Cassandra, meets 1925 guy, Lawrence.But they can only meet on this particular beach in Massachusetts. Once they leave thebeach they both separate and return to their own particular time slot.With a nice dose of family intrigue from 1925 and a good few helpings of teenage angstin 2015, the story has more than enough interest to keep the pages turning.As a love story it works very well, and although at times it gets very close to 'mushy',it never quite steps over the line.Yes, I liked the story, and the ending was just about right.

Time-travel romance
(Source: I received a digital copy of this book for free on a read-to-review basis. Thanks to SOURCEBOOKS Fire and NetGalley.)“We part. Then, like magnets, our lips come together again.”This was a YA time-travel romance, with a bittersweet ending.Cassandra wasn’t the nicest person at the beginning of this book, and she was pretty rude to her parents and Lawrence. Thankfully she improved as the book went along though, and started to think of other people than herself all the time.The storyline in this was about Cass and Lawrence meeting on a beach and getting a bit confused over where each lived as they lived in the same house just in different time periods, and eventually working out that something weird was going on. We got a little bit about the butterfly effect, and then Cass found out that Lawrence was going to be murdered on the beach in less than two weeks’ time, and set out to change that, even though she should have considered the butterfly effect again.The pace in this was a bit slow, and I did find it hard to stay interested.The ending to this was pretty bittersweet, although what can you really expect from a time-travel romance?6 out of 10

Unusual in a good way
**This author owes me a full box of Kleenex.**At least.This book is crazy, delightful, impossible, improbable, joyful, hopeful, terrifying, sweet, charming and bittersweet all at the same time. Truly--You would have to read it to understand the wide range of emotions it will cause in you as a reader.This is the kind of love story that you want to root for, but are afraid to, for fear of what may happen to the characters that you have quickly grown to love.I really enjoyed the concept of this book, and thought the author did a good job of fulfilling the promises the description made. The characters were likable right away, and the promise of something happening between them was there early on, keeping me intrigued.The end of this book made me bawl like a baby, which, doesn't happen often for this reader. I found the dialogue to be really well written, especially in the ending scenes and loved the way the author chose to go when wrapping up the book--even though it HUUUUURRRRRT.You've been warned. This book is addictive.Get it.This review is based on a complimentary copy from the publisher, provided by Netgalley. All opinions are my own.
