Back to You: Fearless Sons of Erin and the Time Traveler Series by Hailie Camarillo, Tara Nolan, Tara Nolan
3.0
3-3.5 ⭐️
Historical fictions aren't usually my thing but I continued to be presently surprised.
--
While finally looking more into her biological parents Emilia (Millie) and her best friend Shay find themselves being propelled into the nineteenth century, utterly unprepared for all that's to come.
When Shay goes missing, Emilia searches the North End of Boston for the only person who can help—Thomas O’Connor, a handsome, broody Irishman. As they hunt for Shay and a way to return to the future, Emilia and Thomas find it increasingly difficult to deny their attraction to one another while navigating the imminent threat of the Civil War.
Emilia quickly discovers the longer the stay, the more dangerous it is. For she may have forgotten those memories, they never forgot her. And they’d be knocking at her door soon enough.

I really like the premise of this book. Unique time travel and adored the characters. I really appreciated the different cultures/languages, point of views, real world and mostly historically accurate situations bouncing back an forth between modern 21st century and during the Civil War in Boston.
This story pulled me in and left me wanting to know what happens next.
