(view spoiler)[This was the best book I have read in years. I have two BURNING questions for the author that are driving me a little nuts.
1. After Cassie (who lives out the 10 years in the past) returns to her current time, what becomes of the present Cassie? After all, both the aged Cassie and the younger Cassie know and share common people, like Izzy.
2. Why didn't you tie up how and where Lottie landed after everything? (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Hi Robin - thanks for reading. I am thrilled that you enjoyed the book.
To your BURNING questions!
1. There is ever only one Cassie, but she overlaps with herself in time for that ten years - both of them existing in the same time year period but living separate lives. When the older Cassie, who has lived the ten years, reaches the point where the younger Cassie goes back in time (after Hugo throws her through the door), there is only one Cassie again. The other Cassie is in the past. (There is a period when they are both in NYC - Mr Webber sees the younger Cassie - but the older Cassie keeps to herself and doesn't interfere in the life of her younger self, other than watching the younger Cassie on the day Mr Webber dies.). I am not sure if this helps clear it up - sometimes time travel is easier to explain with a diagram.
2. Maybe that's a story still to be told? (hide spoiler)]

Hi Gareth! I was inthralled with the idea of this book since I saw it at the bookstore. It's definitely on my list to read! From the reviews, I can tell it won't disappoint. In the US, I can't find the copy with gilded edges, do you know if it will be available or where I can find it here?

If older Cassie got one of the books from the library to give to Mr. Webber, visited her grandfather, and lived with Mr. Webber. Why did she not know all this while living her life? If, as it says in the book, you can't change the past because anything you do in the past makes your present. The younger Cassie should know this. In the way past did she made the books, she should already know this

I LOVED this book! It was more than I expected and interested me from the first few pages. I do not read much fantasy anymore, but the title got my attention. It was delightful, funny, each character were rich and developed well throughout the book. Again I loved it. What a way to make a debut. Look forward to more of your books. What gave you the idea for this book? CH
