The plot of a time-traveling-romance is what initially drew me to the book in the first place. That's my favorite genre to read, because I just love the idea of a couple who's not supposed to meet (because they're from different eras) do and fall in love. And this book is going to be in my top 5 of that genre.
I thought the first person narrative from Sonnet and the third person narrative from Emma worked well. It gives the readers a good look at the late 19th century, and an interesting look at how Emma sees our present.
I enjoyed the slight spookyness of the Sweetwine's house in 2015. Part of me expected a ghost to float in, not a living person to emerge. The other settings...the rich descriptions made me feel I was actually there.
I love that the story continues on even after Sonnet and Emma switch back to their respective times and learning how their lives still lie into one another's (no spoilers here). It was surprising and interesting and made me smile.
For fans of teen romance, or time travel, or both, this book is a must. You will not be disappointed.
