First of all I'm a writer (my debut novel a dystopian apocalyptic yarn was published earlier this year). But I'm here as a reader for this one.
I loved this book, I truly did. It was one of those moments when I finished it that I was almost weeping. Then when I moved on to my next book, by an incredibly famous author (I won’t name them as I don’t do that), I was comparing it to Future Proof and it just isn’t anywhere near as good, despite having over 12k great reviews.
I won’t spoil this for anyone, but seriously you’d have to be incredibly fussy not to love this book. The time travel mechanism is brilliant, I’ve never read anything like this before, an ingenious idea and not overdone, just enough to make it fascinating. The characters are a joy, Sam & Luci are just so well-suited and the secondary female characters just pull it all together in a really satisfying way. You feel like you know them, and they became my friends over the course of the story.
A book filled with love and laughter, with a few pages of heartbreak and comedy to keep you on your toes. A wonderful twist near the end had me second-guessing myself for the resolution, and the ending was perfect. You don’t need to like time-travel books to love this; you simply need to love great writing and brilliant characters. And yes it's romantic....
I thought I'd share my review of this with you.
