A hilarious, adventurous book that captures the best of a romance, mystery, and thriller all in one! The best part was feeling like I myself was getting to travel all over the world and all throughout time with my dear friends Reggie and Alex. Bravo!

OK, I feel a bit odd reviewing the book that I wrote, but I have read it so many times, I feel like I may have something to say. My personal opinion (or maybe this is just me hoping the book that I wrote was the book that I wanted to write) is that the storyline is solid - with a number of unexpected twists and turns, the historical parts 100% accurate, and I really liked my characters. I feel like I did exactly what I wanted to do with Alex, Jane and Fran (Reggie's Mom). They are all very strong, independent, smart, capable women. I also love my male characters, even the bad guys. I feel that I would enjoy this book if I was just picking it up for the first time, and I certainly hope that you enjoy it. Whatever happens (I truly have zero expectations), it was fun crafting this story and sharing it with my friends and family. Please leave feedback so I can learn from your thoughts, suggestions and opinions. Thank you!

Sci-fi is not normally my go-to genre but I stumbled upon this book and couldn't put it down! Wow, what a ride!! The accessible writing style immediately pulled me in and I just had to know what happened next. While the time-bending elements made for an interesting story, what drew me in was how connection, choice, and love transcend circumstances. The characters are written in a way that's extremely relatable, and the emotional moments really resonated with me. There are numerous amazing twists (which I won't spoil!) that left me speechless. I never quite knew where the story was going, which meant I HAD to finish as fast as I could! I stan Alex and Reggie!

When do we get the next book in the series!??? I can't wait for more!! If you're looking for a fun, playful, easy read, I can't recommend this book enough!
