A woman falls in love with a time travelling librarian.
review:
I loved the premise of this book but not the book itself. The writing leaned heavily on stereotypes and was not subtle with the foreshadowing, rather hit you over the head with it like it was a hammer. The characters could have been much stronger and I kept getting really annoyed at both of the leads as they were whiny annoying bitches. The prose are decent but rely on curse words to stimulate emotion even in places it would be better to not (and I do really like well place curse words and characters with dirty mouths but this was awkward 80% of the time). If you want to read this please go watch Doctor Who instead a way more epic time-traveller.
5/10

For once I totally disagree with your review! I loved this book. I thought the characters were well developed, albeit not without flaws, and I enjoyed that it was a "romance" but without flogging to death romantic cliches. It is not a complex read, and the writing won't win a Nobel anytime soon, but it also doesn't distract from the story, which is sweet and moving.
