I was so excited to read this one. I loved the idea behind it, and it was carried out perfectly! I liked the way the two girls were unsure exactly who they should or were falling for. The fact that Lucy lives in a time period where women are expected to marry, and of course it really only is “acceptable” to marry a man, made the perfect setting for this story. The way that Audrey ended up back in 1812 was a bit unexpected, but I liked it! And the fact that there wasn’t a clear reason why or how or if she would/could get back to her own time in the present.

The Outlander super-fan that I am, I was so excited when they did mention it because, obviously, the parallels of being sent back in time. I also loved all the pop culture references to time travel, even if I think there was no mention of Back to the Future, which seems like a big one left out. The way that Audrey was pretty open with Lucy about what the future was like was definitely something I enjoyed as well. Instead of having to keep everything secret to not mess up the future, it was fun having her be able to talk about that.

There were lots of lessons for both girls, and lots of great characters in the past to help them along the way. Even one as a surprise towards the end, that definitely led to a bit of a surprise once Audrey was able to get back to her own time. The ending was so good and one I’d kind of suspected would happen, but I was definitely happy with the way it went.
