A Place in Time #1
A Place in Time
Shaylie is a typical fifteen-year-old girl from a religious family. Terrence, on the other hand, is not your average boy.
To Shaylie, Terrence has always been the enigmatic, aloof, talented and temperamental older brother of her best friend, who has never given her a second look. Until they are thrown together in a date.
Their first date sparks an unlikely romance that confuses Terrence, who has long pushed people away because of a secret he has kept throughout his life. But Shaylie is patient with him, giving him a chance to feel things he has never felt with anyone else before.
Will they overcome the challenges that stand in the way of their budding love? Or will a happy ending ultimately be too much to ask for?

5 out of 5 stars
Only Terrence Kelvin Quintero can make me cry like this. Actually, I'm crying while writing this. Though I have read this so many time already (its Tagalog Version), but this book version is just so amazing. A Place in Time is really my most favorite (online) story ever.
"You take my breath away, Shay."-Terrence
Terrence is cold but he can be romantic. He's a guy who wanted a normal life. He's really talented and he makes things on his way but in a good way.
"I love you. And that will never change."-Shay
Shaylie Jimenez is a typical girl. An orphan but she's loved by many.
"Let's do that." These are the last words of Terrence. And this breaks my heart. Yes, he helped Shay to find his bestfriend. Actually, because of him, Shay met Jiroh. Please wait for Take Two, a sequel of A Place in Time, for you to know what I am talking about.
Jessica Concha is superb. Her works aren't that impossible to believe, I mean, her works are so realistic. She puts her emotions in every words she writes. And that's my number one reason why I love her.
For the nth time, I highly recommend this book to someone who wants to experience the real meaning of love. Terrence will show you.

This review contains spoilers.
I've been a fan of Jessica Concha's works since I was in college. That time, I found out about her on Wattpad although she initially posted her stories on CandyMag. So if you'll take it into consideration, I am a really new fan of her (compared to others that is). I've seen her potential as a writer ever since then. She has her own writing style and I was really in awe of it. I want to write like her someday, I thought.
This isn't the first time I've read A Place In Time. This is my second time reading it. And to tell you, I never really re-read a book. There are so many books out there, why would I waste a time reading what I've already read?
But nah, I've got the wrong logic then. You couldn't call re-reading a 'wasting time' when you're actually devoured into the book, right?
Despite knowing the tragic ending, I took a risk. I have forgotten how Terrence and Shaylie got along in the story so I thought this might not hurt that much now that I'm completely engrossed with the fact that... well, Terrence died in the end.
The story was slow-paced just like any other works of Concha. And I could say that from the very beginning of the story, from the point of view of someone who has re-read it, Concha planned the story well.
The second scene in the online version was about Shaylie's mother vomitting. She was pregnant. And I thought, this marks Terrence life. I knew it from the very beginning and it hurts so much.
Their first encounter was during their accidental date because of their bet which was Tjay's fault. They were supposed to date someone else that time but it seems like fate has been playing tricks on them. I was trying to read Terrence's actions towards Shaylie. Least that I could tell is he is a nice guy despite the cold hearted side he shows.
As the story progresses, the more I find myself in love with the thought of Terrence. I'm trying to read between the lines of his words and actions. There was a part when Terrence walked Shaylie to their home where Shay's pregnant mother was waiting. Terrence then said to them that it was a boy. He stated it like he knew it all along. And I thought, was he feeling it? That he'll be dying soon?
Getting to closer to the end, the championship game came. Being the 'asthmatic' Terrence, he wasn't supposed to play the game but he did anyway. He's Terrence Kevin Quintero, after all. He took the place of Shaylie's brother, Ran. Ran got sprained during some time in the game. Terrence volunteered and he later reasoned out that he couldn't let their school lose at something that is as eventful as the championship game. You probably know where it brought him. He suddenly collapsed during the game and he was confined.
This was his first confinement. Where Terrence kissed Shaylie for the first time... and for the last time. He also confessed that she's the reason why he's been getting an asthma attacks lately.
"You take my breath away, Shay."
Let's make it short. March 2 came. Shaylie was supposed to surprise Terrence with a Mongolian Barbecue Steak meal but it turned out Shaylie was the one who got surprised when she found out Terrence had been discharged. She stormed off to Quinteros house only to found out from Tjay that his brother wasn't there. Shaylie looked everywhere Terrence could possibly be. Her last resort was the church. And there, she found him. Limping and couldn't even stand properly.
They sat there and Terrence was breathing so fast. He held her hands. There, they had their last conversation. Terrence's last words were, "Y-yeah, I guess I will."
It was heartbreaking, the last scene. I cried so hard last night reading it. It actually felt like I was Shaylie. Like I was the one being left behind.
I know this review didn't explain it any further. But I'm just sharing my thoughts anyway.
To me, Terrence Kelvin Quintero is more than just a fictional character. He was alive, well, at least for me. He was one young brave man. His faith, his optimisim in life despite his fate, was what had me crying all night.
My gosh, I guess I will never move on from this story. One great love transcends a lifetime.

"You take my breath away, Shay." -Terrance
If you're a Teentalker, you know j_harry08. You know her for her short and incredibly crafted stories. I've been a fan of her since I read Hundred in One and fell in love even more of her work when I read R13. I've often imagined her stories getting published and having to read them as a book and not as a post in the Teentalk thread. But hey! God heard my prayers because she's now officially a published author. Saying I'm proud of her would be an understatement.
A Place in Time is one special book. It's quaint and real and heart breaking. I would be lying if I say I didn't cry because I did -- I cried hard. I cried like a bitch. Jessica Concha has a way with words and though I would prefer to have read this in Tagalog, the English version is fine as well, though I think it didn't have that much impact as it would have if it was in its original language. Heck, being the bookworm that I am and someone who loves reading English novels, I did enjoy(a lot) Hundred in One and R13 in Tagalog.
Shay reminded me of Jamie from A Walk to Remember because of her personality and how patient she is with Terrance, having to deal with his tantrums. Terrance, on the other hand also reminded me of Landon, still from A Walk to Remember. He's a jerk sometimes and acts all cool like he doesn't give a flying fuck about anything and then acts differently(who doesn't) when he's around Shay, But still, I love their character development. and how he started off as a jackass but ended as someone who is at peace with himself. I like Shay and how she's considerate of Terrance. I like how she acts like she's unhinged even though she is. I like how determined and outspoken she is. Both of them are very good characters and did well in complementing each other.
The ending shook me off. I wasn't expecting it at all and it was painful. Very painful. But still is very beautiful.
Great work, Jessica! Hoping that Hundred in One will get published soon. :)

*contains spoiler/s?*
I've read this story a lot. And 'a lot' means more than around 20x or more. I'm not even kidding. And to tell you guys the truth, that's how much I've cried tooㅡwell, over this story of course. This story is very special to me and the only online story (published) that I will buyㅡmaybe. It depends if Miss Jessica decides to publish another story of hers.
I've read a lot of booksㅡhard bound/paperback or onlineㅡbut Terrence... is the only character who actually 'felt' alive. Like he's a real person. With his imperfectionsㅡyou'll love him. Everything about this guy... you're going to love it.
My favorite part is when Terrence is about to die. I don't... I really love that part when Shayloe found him in Church and Terrence start talking about him asking God why him and that he said that he's been asking God the wrong question all along. I'm not sure of this part's still included BUT in the OL version, it is. Right?

This is the most touching Wattpad book na nabasa ko. Hindi siya puro pakilig which is refreshing. It really aims to teach you about life. Romance is just a plus on this book.

This may sound unbelievable but I've always wanted APIT to be a book.I even imagined that the first and second book of this story will be published as one. But still, this published book,eventhough, it has only the first part of the story, was beyond my imagination. I can't believe that it still has the APIT feels. <3 I mean,some stories,when they are published, it lose its magic or it outshines the original version. But this book just feels..right. Eventhough, it is translated in English, I still have the same feeling or emotions for Shay and Terrence and the book itself just like years ago. Kudos Ate Jess! I'l wait for the second book <3 :)

It was a great story. It was narrated on a very simple and readers can relate to it. The book seemed to allowed the readers to time-travel into their high school life. The story was sad since the male lead character, unfortunately, passed away. It's just that it failed to make me cry, I can't pinpoint the exact reason. But, yes, it affected me on some ways. I felt sad, but, again, it didn't made me cry. I am a big fan of Jessica Concha, she's a good writer and I've read most of her works. I love her stories and A Place In Time wasn't an exception.
December 27, 2013
This is a good book.
I like the flow of the story but it looks like that it lacks with emotions. I love it's tragic ending, though it's a typical cliche but I really don't feel the feeling within the scenario that Terence is going to die. I also like the message the writer tries to imply but it fells like it's like it lacks with expression.
However, I'm looking forward for another J.Concha's book.

Wasn't my favourite book but I managed to finish it. The writing was good just the topic (time travel) I don't really like but like I say I finished it and if I really don't like a book I don't finish it. But now I give the author a chance to have their say, after all they are the one telling the story.

I loved it! I've been a teentalker since 2005 and have read multiple stories in the creative corner, but surely, Jessica's captured my heart with criss cross and I was planning to read it again until I came across this. It surprised me how much I've missed teentalk.
And believe me, I'm no longer a teenager but I totally loved this story! I don't even know how to describe it. I think I can relate with Shaylie... her high school experience, her insecurities and I love her friendship with her cousin Ran and of course with her bestfriend Tjay.
And there came Terrence, this mysterious, snob, geeky guy. I love their interactions and their chemistry. Terrence is definitely not the mushy type and he have his own angst against the world but you can't help but love the guy.
The thing is... things were just starting to get good. Starting to get better when it comes to the relationship between Terrence and Shay, Tjay and Ran but it seems like it all came crashing down right away. I mean I felt the pain and the sadness about the ending... my heart really broke for Terrence, but I think and I wish it wasn't that rushed. A chapter or two more maybe would've made it more perfect.
But other than that, I don't have any complains. I connected to the characters, laughed, smiled, my heart broke and it was so good. I am so looking forward to the next book...although I don't think I'm ready to move on and let go of Terrence yet but... well... I can't resist a good book. ;)
Definitely recommended. :D

This is really my thing! This book is exactly what I want. At first it's fun as the love story grows further. But then in the end something unexpected will occur that will make me cry hard. And though it something that wouldn't really make them really end up with one another, all is well because there's book 2.
I really love Terrence that's why I can't let go of him in the end. And I really didn't predict that his THAT ill. "You didn't even give me a chance to tell you I love you", this line which is said by Shay to Terrence really got me heartbroken. I can't believe he has to go just like that. I know he's tired but I kind of expected he would fight more. Help was just on the way but he went off to where he's supposed to go. But I guess it was meant to happen for all of us to witness something even better which would be shown on book 2. Overall, it was so great that it had managed to carve a special place in my heart. The BEST! Ever!

FUN READ. I like Shaylie's character. How she expects things, how she reacts on what happened. I can feel her emotions. Terrence. For me he's a naughty-mysterious guy, and I don't like it that much. I mean, he says nothing. He's just gonna smile and then thats it! I like him.. It's just... He has potential. And that potential is kept until in the end. His character is so beautiful. The beautiful flower didn't open in the story. I was shocked when he revealed that he has this, when he was like that, like this happened. But the way Terrence 'storytell' that he has like that, that it was fatal. It was predictable that ////SPOILER ALERT\\\\\\ Terrence will die....... I feel their emotions but the whole story? No. I can feel it. It's just it didn't reached me. the feels didn't reach my body, my brain, my heart, my soul. So, the other scenes were.. Lame... But I'm pretty sure, I enjoyed it. Great love story

6 stars!!!
2010-2011 ko ata nung nabasa ko to at hanggang ngayon yung feeling ayun pa din.
Sobrang minahal ko ang bida nito lalo na si Terrence, hindi kasi sya yung normal na bida na mababasa mo, sya yung average type lang yung bang makatotohanan. Sobrang minahal ko si Terrence na iniyakan ko to ng ilang araw hanggang ngayon nakakadepress pa din.
Hindi ako nadisappoint sa ending, nagustuhan ko talaga yun hindi ko naman masasabi na naging tragedy yun dahil para sakin hindi naman yung ending yung mahalaga kundi yung naging takbo ng istorya.
Ang dami kong natutunan sa librong ito. Yung "we should enjoy every moment" dahil hindi natin alam ang mangyayari sa susunod. "we should always tell everyone that we love how they mean to us because tomorrow is not promise to anyone"
Wala na kong masabi one of my most favorite tagalog story!!!

First of all, maganda ang pagkakasulat. Second, ang ganda ng characterization ng author sa mga characters, lalo na kay Terrence. Napahanga niya ako kung pano dalhin ng author sa mga salita niya ang bawat nangyayari sa kuwento. Maganda ang bawat pagkakagawa ng mga scenes. Bihasa talaga sa pagsusulat si Jessica Concha.
Isa lang sa mga nakita ko na hindi naman masyadong negative is that, hindi masyadong nadevelop ang bawat character sa isa't isa. Kumbaga hindi sila masyadong nagpakita na gusto nila ang isa't isa. Naka-focus masyado yong kuwento sa everyday life ni Sha at hindi tinutok sa mismong love story nila. Siguro may point ang pagkakaroon ng book 2, nabigyan ng hustisya. Sana lang na attach pa sila sa isa't isa. Mas binigyan ng exposure silang dalawa na alone or yong kilig moments nila, kaunti lang kasi.
Overall, maganda ang story. Thumbs up. Worth the time time I spent reading.

This is the most realistic story from Wattpad that have published I have ever read. If you've read this, and didn't shed a tear, then you better check your feelings.
Being realistic is it's strong and weak point. It's so realistic that some may probably find this boring. But its realism makes it so easy to relate to, especially to teenager like me.
This is so realistic that it fucking hurts. :((
And the ending! Damn it! What was more painful than not having a chance to say how much you love a person, only having this chance after he breathe his last breath? God, that did made me cry.:((
One of the best Wattpad stories ever published. Super worth it!
