** spoiler uyarısı ** Sonundan nefret ediyorum, ama genel olarak iyi bir hikayeydi. İlginç bir öncül, yazarın hikayeyi eski fotoğraflardan yola çıkardığı düşünüldüğünde. Jacob'un evinden böyle kaçması beni rahatsız ediyor. Ailesi mükemmel değildi, ama kesinlikle hiçbir şekilde taciz edici değildi. Emma ve Jacob arasındaki aşk hikayesi, 85 gibi bir şey olduğu ve daha önce Jacob'un büyükbabası Abe'ye aşık olduğu düşünüldüğünde beni biraz garipleştirdi. Zaman döngüsü kavramı benim için biraz kafa karıştırıcıydı, ancak karakterler sevimli. İyi bir macera.

This was such a great story. The relationship of the girl with her nanny was so touching...I did not want this book to end.

Ok, what I thought I knew going into this book was that it was about a couple with problems who decide to move to Paris in an effort to rekindle the romance of their youth, only to discover that their problems followed right along. Yeah, no. I had the couple with problems part right, and something about Paris, but I didn't expect it to go down the way it did. Anyway, while I thought parts of the dialogue felt really contrived, I absolutely loved how all of the thoughts, feelings, and self-rationalizations came across as wonderfully, miserably genuine. Oh, the things we tell ourselves -- and each other -- just to get through the day.

Grabbed this advance reader copy to read aloud in the car on a recent road trip, and liked it enough that I breezed the rest of the way through it when I got home. Way more YA girly-book then my usual reading style, but it was well written and fun to read. It's the story of Laurel, a teenage girl struggling with the transition from homeschooling to public school, who soon finds out she has a much bigger transition to deal with. Also well-placed as the first book in a series; it'll get a lot more exciting and fantastic in future books.
