This story is cute. It is sweet. It is fluffy, but in a good way (in my opinion, anyway). Here's the thing: It didn't necessarily blow my mind, but it was really quite a nice story, and I enjoyed it. If you are looking for some kind of complex sci-fi time travel, this may not be your book. But, if you are looking for some light time travel, an incredibly sweet romance, and a strong family connection, then this could be for you, as it was for me.
When Abbi starts college, she is still reeling from the loss of her grandmother. First, I liked that this is set in a freshman year of college setting, I find that time period to be wholly underused, and I quite enjoy reading about it. As it turns out, Abbi isn't going to get the real freshman experience, since she's going to wake up in the past. Oops. I won't go more into it than that, because I enjoyed reading about each time jump, wondering what would befall her next. I liked how things... came together. Vague, yes, but for reasons. I shan't spoil!
There is a relationship, and I adored the dynamics of it! Again, I can't say much, but it was so, so sweet. Will was a really great guy, with a similar time-travel conundrum. The only thing I really didn't love was the explanation for the whole thing. It felt... unfinished, I suppose. I also would have liked to have a bit more background on Abbi as a person, to be a bit more connected to her.
Honestly, this is a really hard review to write, because so many of my favorite characters are spoilers in their sheer existence, and I don't want to say too much about anything, so I am going to end this here.
Bottom Line: This book was so sweet, and a fast paced read. I enjoyed the book, even if my mind wasn't blown by it, and I thought that the characters and romance were incredibly sweet. Definitely worth a read if you are looking for something on the “lighter” side of time travel.
