He’s from 1892 England, she’s in a small library in 2017. And that's just the start of their troubles.

Emme never meant to stay in Maine. She'd come only to find a librarian for her Gram's library, a custodian for the collection of mysterious books she'd promised to protect. On a dark, wintery night, alone in the library, she takes her first glance into one of the antique novels and finds herself transported to 1892 England staring into the eyes of handsome and dashing hero Jack Ridgewell. As each chapter passes she learns you can truly fall in love with a character in a book, that book boyfriends are real and Emme must choose between the real world, and his.

When the last page is read he's gone and Emme feels the cold loneliness of lost love. Will she find Jack again, or will their love be forever lost? The answer lies within the pages…

5.0 out of 5 stars Time travelling magic books

I thoroughly enjoyed this story, I wasn't sure I wanted to to wrap up properly or leave things open for a sequel, I think in fact both have been achieved. I would love to have the ability Emme has to travel through books, alas I'm sure it isn't going to happen. A fun read.

3.0 out of 5 stars A time slip tale
Reviewed in Australia on 9 June 2021

I finished this book fairly quickly. It was an easy, pleasurable read with a brilliant premise. I did find it hard to connect with the protagonist and would have loved to see more depth to her and the story. I would have really enjoyed the time travel elements to be a bit more fleshed out The imagery of Maine ,a place I’ve never been, was really quite beautiful. I will def follow up any sequels to see where the story takes the reader

3 stars - After reading the synopsis for this book, I was expecting this to be a sci fi fantasy type of read but it was not. I would describe this more as chick lit romance, think Dr Who mixed with Bridget Jonesy type of a story, that’s probably the best way for me to describe it. It had the cheesy lines, it was predictable in almost every way possible but if you don’t take it too seriously, it is a cute and easy read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Oh, very nice, indeed ! A story about Librarians, good looking men, and time travel.

What more could a reader ask for ?
This is an original plot, with believable characters, in a realistic place, topped with a perfect pace.
Emme, is a jewel, and as real as a character can be.
Sassy, flawed, vengeful, apologetic, smart, good choices and bad.
Reminds me of my favorite sister.
The story could use more descriptions about Maine, it sou d's wonderful.
If you like bravery and regret, reason and emotion, this might be a great start to a very interesting sounding series.
I am more than just glad that I bought this one, and much more than just happy that I could set aside time to read it !
An adventure, indeed.

Muito raso e pouco história. Tinha tudo pra ser bom, mas infelizmente faltou desenvolver as personagens e as narrativas. Não indico.

Reviewed in France on 29 May 2022

The plot was very interesting. Uncommon. But…
Everything is running too fast, love and hate. Nothing magical between the 2 characters, they love each other fast ok (love at first sight, etc) but they can’t fight fate. The author brings a twist, obvious. Emme is in love head over heels, but beyond selfishness, poor Jack. But the author found a way for wrapping everything up with a nice ribbon at the end. It results a huge disappointment.

I don't know how to describe this book. It is funny, sad and beautiful. The story absorbs you it feels like you are Emme but in real life.
Thank you for this amazing book Christy!!
