Too many questions - not enough answers
Good beginning to a series with interesting characters (I loved Lucille Ball) but too many unanswered questions. I realize this is just the beginning of a series but would have liked more background. Still, I would definitely recommend this book to others - especially if you love time travel.

Mid-Century Mayhem
I have fallen in love with the writings of Bella Stteet!! In this one she manages to get two people back to 1954 unknown to each other and they went separately! They started in Nashville in 2014 and go to Detroit in 1954 very confused and uncertain of how to get back. Their adventures are many and enjoyable only to the reader. I hope you also enjoy this book.

Oh my freaking goodness!!! You did NOT end it like that... I was actually holding my breath and gasped after that last page! Whoa. I can't wait to read what happens next. Hopefully the second book won't be a long wait.
You just get sucked right into these stories. Such a vulnerable state to be swallowed into a different time, not knowing anyone, nowhere to go, no idea what is going on... So much action and suspense! I love all these time-travel stories. They are all packed full of emotion and yo ...more

Wow!!! What an adventure, I loved this story.
Wow this book just drew me right into it from the start. I love the fact that the character, Olivia Haugen is an interior designer, so popular right now with all the TV shows, very easy to relate too.
Another thing that got me hooked was the fact that she is in Nashville and ends up in Detroit 1954, what gets me there is that my Dad is from Detroit and I knew what they were talking about. I also love the Mid-Century look as well and also thought it sh ...more
