His And Hers
TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT...
Sitting in her favorite coffee shop, Jane Ellingson realizes a frappucino can't fix a broken heart. She used to have a cool job, a best friend, and a fiancé-- and she lost them all in one really bad day. Hey can she have a do-over? How about a whole new life?
...WHAT YOU REALLY, REALLY WANT
But Jane is about to get a second chance when she finds a stone that comes with a wish. With nothing to lose, Jane figures she'll go for it-- and suddenly finds herself in Victorian England, meeting the dashing Curran Dempsey. Before long she's smitten-- and completely unable to stay in her corset. In fact, she feels just like the heroine in a romance novel, madly in love with a man who's too fabulous to be real... and too sexy to give up.

I really didn't enjoy reading this book.
The main character is annoying-she spends the majority of the time whining about her life, bitching about her corset, doing stupid things and falling over stuff. There wasn't a whole lot there to make you like her as a person.
The writing just didn't seem to flow very well. The storyline is choppy and the scenes are leaping all over the place. I know that kind of fits in with the story but that doesn't stop it from being disconcerting. And to make it worse the plot just didn't make much sense. Usually w/a book like this (romance) you have a standard scenario: boy meets girl/flirtation/problem/sex/solve problem/happy ever after-but with this book it was more like girl already has a problem/boy meets girl/even bigger problem/flirtation/a whole bunch of crap/and an ending no one likes. And no sex. Sheesh, that might have made it a little more tolerable.
I thought the concept of the story was neat and could have been a lot of fun to read but unfortunately in the end it didn't pan out.
oh yeah, forgot one thing, the title has nothing in common with the story whatsoever. I hate that.

There are books that change our life forever. I regret to say that this is not one of them. If not for the fact that I am too tired right now as I write this review, I would surely have started ranting out my frustrations for this book.
Actually, it's not that I don't really like this book. It's just that.. it didn't really reach my expectations. The story line didn't turn out the way I had expected it when I decided to buy and read it. I love the characters and the characters. I love the way they were all written, their characteristics. Do I sound redundant? Well, there can't be any better way to phrase it.
The story isn't really that bad but whatever potential the story had was ruined by the cover which is a TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT. Whoever put his/her favor to this cover is being ridiculous and was probably not paying much attention to the manuscript he/she was reading. I can't say why. That would be spoiling the fun for future readers.
All in all, this is an "okay" read, given 3 stars because it may be disappointing at times, annoying most of the time, but probably worth even just a tiny bit of our time. Just a bit.

INteresting time travel. I liked the idea of being in a book as it is being written, and the author did a great job of portraying this. Two things I did not enjoy was I felt it dragged a bit also was not fond of the ending.
