This book started out well enough, and it had some good ideas in it (I liked the idea of all the different time manipulation abilities the Hourglass denizens had), but then it just became a mess of YA cliches and wobbly writing. Getting rid of the obligatory love triangle probably would have gone a long ways towards fixing the issues I had with it; why do all these YA protagonists have to have multiple boys falling for them? And it always happens the first time the dude lays eyes on her. I get that it's supposed to appeal to the teen reader, but so few authors write these flirtations convincingly.
