They exist in two different centuries, but their love defies time
Cassandra craves drama and adventure, so the last thing she wants is to spend her summer marooned with her mother and stepfather in a snooty Massachusetts shore town. But when a dreamy stranger shows up on their private beach claiming it's his own—and that the year is 1925—she is swept into a mystery a hundred years in the making.
As she searches for answers in the present, Cassandra discovers a truth that puts their growing love—and Lawrence's life—into jeopardy. Desperate to save him, Cassandra must find a way to change history…or risk losing Lawrence forever.
Mehh. Didn't like the characters, thought they were flat and ... I don't know, naive maybe, trusting. One of them could have been an axe murderer and they'd just be like 'you're so pretty and mysterious~~~~' so I didn't connect with them. The girl almost drowned and I wasn't bothered at all. Not invested in the least. Plus, despite the historical parts (this is dual POV apparently!!) and the "time travel" I found very little science in this science fiction in the first 30%. Seemed more contemporary, and not the kind I'm into. Just not for me.
Oh no, this is such a disappointment! That cover is so gorgeous, and the blurb makes it sound like a really interesting story. But flat characters and little to no sci-fi aspects seem like a bit of a let down. I'm sorry this wasn't better for you, and I hope your next book is one that you like!
