About the Book:
Anna and Bennett were never supposed to meet: she lives in 1995 Chicago and he lives in 2012 San Francisco. But Bennett has the unique ability to travel through time and space, which brings him into Anna’s life, and with him a new world of adventure and possibility.
As their relationship deepens, the two face the reality that time may knock Bennett back to where he belongs, even as a devastating crisis throws everything they believe into question. Against a ticking clock, Anna and Bennett are forced to ask themselves how far they can push the bounds of fate, what consequences they can bear in order to stay together, and whether their love can stand the test of time.
Fresh, exciting, and deeply romantic, Time Between Us is a stunning, spellbinding debut from an extraordinary new voice in YA fiction.
My Thoughts:
I labeled this as contemporary despite the time travel aspect, as the book really reads like a contemporary YA novel rather than a fantasy YA type novel.
I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading Time After Time, the sequel to it as well. I got to meet the author at a local book event, and I knew from her description of the book that I had to read it. I am happy to say that it did not disappoint at all. It's a straightforward love story (no love triangles or drama like that) that is cute and sweet. The time travel aspect is done really well and is never confusing. I really liked all of the characters too, from Anna and Bennett to Anna's friends Emma and Justin, her parents, the Spanish teacher (a class Anna and Bennett share), etc. Great book!
