Time travel romance has been getting quite popular recently. Not typically my thing, but you made it sound very good :)

Thank you very much for this review. I also find it very imaginative to live an obsession for so long, but that is the beauty of books, that can create a different version of what we call reality.
I'd like to see what happens to Susan in the other books :)

Magnificent review. This sounds like a delightful time travel romance. It is interesting how the author chose for her main character to go back in time and become younger. I have read many books where the main character does not get younger but stays the same age as in the present and continues to grow older. This will be a great read and something different for me.

Thank you for your engaging review! I can't wait to see if James is really the amazing man she's made him to be over the past 50 years...or, if she realizes her life was already perfect the way it was before going back in time. Was he really worth obsessing over? I'm already anxious to read the next books, and I haven't even read the 1st yet! I have a feeling this is going to be a great series!

Great review. I've recently become a fan of time travel romances. This one sounds particularly good with well developed characters. Can't wait to read it. Thanks for sharing.

I just read the beginning of the book and really though it wasn't for me at all. But your review makes it much more appealing to me--I do like time travel, and I can relate much more to the 62 y/o Susan than the 16 y/o, since I'm 55. I think it sounds well worth reading--thank you for the great review.

What I'd give to get a few second chances of my own! This is definitely an intriguing plot. I think I'd love this book with all its craziness :)

Latest Review: "The Time Stone" by Jeffrey Estrella

Post by breyfoglese »

This seems interesting even for someone like me, who doesn't really like romance novels. I may give it a read this week! You really sold me at the "emphasis on compatibility" - that's something that's usually lost in the sexy mess that is many fictional relationships, and it's a huge peeve of mine. Why are these characters together if they wouldn't even be friends, right?

Overall, consider me intrigued.

Not only does your review make me want to read the book, it makes me look back over my life and laugh at some of the crushes I suffered from over the years. I now wonder if I would want a second chance.

Great review! I wasn't sure about this book, but after reading your review, I'm excited to read more. I wonder how Susan copes with her new environment and life.

After going on vacation with her friend. She meets a woman that sees the future. She sends her back in time to meet James again.
