This is a time travel story where a young woman called Annet, who works at a museum in the present day, virtually gets blown into the 19th century after an argument with her boyfriend, Forrest. Quite a Wizard of Oz moment! It’s an easy and light hearted tale, although it did miss something for me. I didn’t particularly take to Annet at first. However, she did grow on me. For a supposedly intelligent woman she was rather stupid, I thought. She was very loud and opinionated. She seemed to belittle people, too, particularly her own sex. Attitudes were different in the 1800s and I’m sure she would’ve been aware of that. I liked Forrest, though, and I enjoyed the parts of the story which featured him more. He came over as a kind and caring individual. I liked the ending and thought it had a good little twist which rounded things off nicely. At the end of the day it’s an undemanding and fun read written with a sense of humour. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

Forrest, Annet’s present-time boyfriend and father of her baby, had one hell of a time once Annet disappeared and I felt so bad for the man. He suffered, overwrought with concern for his lost love. Seriously, the poor guy! His struggles seemed very real, and I felt empathy for him and his situation.
Alexander (Alex) is the hot-headed, super-sexy artist who Annet had been featuring in her current time. When she meets him in the past, it’s definitely extreme curiosity, if not love at first sight. For my money, I loved the idea of the two of them together from the get-go.
I really enjoyed how Annet handled her crazy trip through time. I was rooting for her from the beginning.
With the time travel, not yet knowing if Annet makes it back, and worrying about Forrest, I had no idea how the author could wrap up the ending of this book in a satisfactory way, but she did it! 🙂
5/5 Stars – Out-of-this-world amazing!
