Unstitched
An extraordinary story about a woman who meets the perfect guy at the wrong time…
Anthea has loved him since her earliest memory. Problem is, she doesn’t know who he is, or if he even exists. Yet, with each passing day without him, her heart breaks a little more.
That is until she stumbles into Lucas, the lead singer of a Perennial. He is as sexy as hell, talented, and passionate. But most importantly, he’s the one who can mend the broken threads of her heart.
Lucas is different—his temperament, his physicality. He also has secrets. Secrets that could push Anthea away. He needs to share them, but it could end their relationship, and Lucas isn't willing to take that risk.
But secrets have a way of coming out. Theirs is a passion that is meant to last forever, but time isn't always quite so linear.

Anthea wants what all girls want- true love. Unfortunately, she hasn’t had the best of luck. For as long as she can remember, her heart has belonged to someone else, she just doesn’t know who he is yet. Despite her futile attempts at relationships, no one can take her mystery man’s place. The problem is, she’s not sure he even exists. After another relationship turned sour, Anthea stumbles upon Lucas, lead singer of the band Perennial, and realizes quickly that her mystery man is quite real indeed.
Lucas is mystifying, sexy, and passionate. He stirs feelings in Anthea that she has never felt before. And best of all, he seems inexplicably drawn to her. But as their whirlwind romance takes flight, Anthea quickly learns that Lucas hides a secret. A secret that runs so deep that it could shred the fabric of the world Anthea has known her entire life.
Unstitched was well-written- bursting with emotions and descriptive narratives. Written in multiple-first person views, the Jacquie Underdown does an excellent job at changing tone with each character. Throughout the book, you feel a great sense of empathy for Anthea and her heart wrenching love for the man she longs to be with, feeling each and every pang of pain right alongside her. Unstitched does a beautiful job at weaving a tale of predestined love, with just a hint of science fiction.

Anthea has a strong love for the man of her dreams. The problem is, he seems to only exist in her dreams & no matter who she's with she, she always feels like she's missing something more. That is until she meets Lucas.
Lucas is drawn to Anthea & he brings that man of her dreams to life for her. As they get to know one another, Anthea soon discovers that Lucas & her are meant to be together. They always have been but the timing, it's just never really been quite right.
You know what they say about loving something enough to let it go? Well the ending here gives that a little bit of a different meaning but, it's a happy ending none the less.
I was provided with an ARC from the author & Netgalley, in exchange for an honest review.

It was ok. I was fine with it until he said the language had changed in the future so he had to download language from the 21st century to his brain. I literally said “what!?” Out loud while reading. I’m not opposed to fantasy, in fact, I love time travel books. This one was just a little disjointed. I don’t know if it was translated from another language, but the editing was terrible. Poor grammar, misspellings, and the entire book used ‘ instead of “ for speaking parts.

Interesting concept
This had an interesting concept and plot but I can't decide if I like the ending. I truly fell in love with Lucas. However changing history is me at a good plan.
