I am sorry for the inconvenience but I don’t have the time to read this anymore and have lost interest in the concept. I believe that it would benefit your book more if I did not skim your book and write a rushed review. Again, I am sorry for the inconvenience.

This book was okay.

It’s that book that you think is cute and it was pretty easy to read, but there wasn’t anything that made it stand out to you. There wasn’t anything there that made it a favorite or made you dislike it. It was just a good book that you’d suggest to someone who’s in a reading slump and likes queer scifi time travel.

The only thing that had me bothered were two things. One, the main characters description of bisexual. There are more genders than just guys and gals my friend. And two, the time travel. There is no explanation on how the time travel works. There’s absolutely no logic on how it works, which leads you to believe that it’s magic. But it’s like the only magical item in the world that the book mentions which is weird. I feel like it would have been nice to know how exactly the time travel worked.

I asked for an e-arc of this book because it was both queer and about time travel. I love seeing queer rep, especially bisexual rep, in books and I love the idea of time travel, so I thought his would be a fun book to read. And it was. There was the funny what is this music moments and the time traveler discovering cars for the first time moment and they were fun to read.

Over all, if you can get past those two parts of the book that put me off from it a bit and you like time travel, it’s a fluffy story to read if your just looking to read something and can’t find anything else that sounds interesting.

I always struggle with time travel romances but this was such a quick and easy read I enjoyed and would recommend to the YA audience.

This was my first book by this author, It was pretty enjoyable. I would give this book a 3.5 star rating! It was a pretty Quick and easy read!

I had to sit and think on this one. I am not sure it was for me. It was enjoyable but I just didn't connect with characters. I do recommend it but I maybe later I will give it another read. I had just read some great books and then reading this one behind them slowed it down.

ARC provided by the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review

I received a copy of this book of a fair and honest review. I have to say that I love the title of this book and it made me want to read it. I love Elias and Tyler and their story and their romance. Tyler is making films and the guy that appeared out of nowhere. He introduces to a lot of modern things like Espresso and helps those what this times is like. But it comes to to staying with Tyler or going back to his own time. That puts a lot of pressure on his shoulders. Which will he choose? You are going to have to read to find out.

This book was just as amazing as her other book!

The characters grabbed me by the heart and I have not looked back since lol

All opinions are my own.

This is a very sweet and fluffy little book that more or less does what it says on the tin! It hasn't got enough body to sustain anything longer, but I thought it was about the right length. I loved the bi rep and the romance in general was very cute - it's very hopeful and heartwarming, as Elias is able to express himself in a way that his real timeline would not allow. Elias's sense of wonder at the modern world is adorable, and I liked him with Ty. A very sweet and light read!

A very cool premise that I enjoyed reading.

One of my favorite things was Elias's discovery of modern technology, music, etc.

The romance itself was just okay. Kinda cute, but not necessarily authentic. More of a no-choice because they're an idea type. If that makes sense.

The last 30% or so was pretty dull and repetitive. So it definitely didn't help my feelings on the book as a whole.

The title is pretty self-explanatory for what this book is about. Elias wants to escape his lackluster life in nineteenth-century England, and his grandfather supplies him with just the thing to help: a pocket watch which gives the owner the ability to time travel.

This book was fun. It was a fast read with a light enough plot to bring me out of a funk after some more emotionally draining reads. The idea behind the story was super intriguing, but the execution left a little something to be desired.

I think the biggest issue for this book was the overall pacing. Too much time was spent on establishing setting and environment, but the action and momentum of the actual plot breezed by all too quickly. The novel suffers from being short in length, in my opinion. Another hundred or so pages would’ve helped this issue drastically.

An overall enjoyable book despite being over much too quickly for my taste.

While I will always be here for more books with queer characters, this book was pretty underwhelming. Basically, I thought Eli and Ty made a cute couple, but I didn't love their relationship. It was just too insta-love for me. I still enjoyed the book but was not at all impressed with it.

When I first heard the premise of the book, I knew it was something I was going to have to read!

Although it's told in dual perspective, it was really fun to read Elias' POV as he discovers the world.
It was a really good quick and lovely read. I wished I had enjoyed it a whole lot more, but it was such a fun book to go into and explore.

3.5 Stars!

A time traveling romance involving LGBTQ+ AND even a bisexual (why are we never repped in books!?) characters POV, YES PLEASEEEEE!!!! The story is about Elias, a 19th century Victorian Londoner and Tyler, a modern day boy. This was a really cute book and I really enjoyed it! Definitely looking forward to more queer time travelling books.

Super bummed that I did not like this because I had super high hopes for this. The concept was great, but to me the execution was... not? I just found this to be super boring in my honest opinion.

I was rather excited to be reading this book, however I realised quite quickly it wasn’t going to live up to expectations.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the chance to read this book!

Ok, so while I thought the story was kind of cute, I thought a book with the word romance in the title might be a little more, well, romantic. Eli and Ty had their moments sure, but I didn't really get they whys of their love I suppose? Maybe I felt like things were too rushed as well, although the ending makes you realize they have all of the future together (literally, with the time travelling and all) I think I wanted to get to know both of the characters better too, and in turn have them get to know each other as well. It is a reasonably short book, and I did fly through it.

That cover is super pretty too! I will say I loved Ty's friends and the dynamics he had with them. I also liked how they made the 'popular' people not really that bad? Like you were always nosed pressed against the glass looking at the popular kids, but usually it's after school you realize they weren't that different from yourself. It was kind of cool to see the popular boy just brush off Ty's and Eli's kiss and not make it awkward!

If there was MORE romance in this it would be five stars for sure. I like Eli and Ty as a couple and I would read more of their stories, especially if they time travel again. Just needs that little more to be perfect for me. Four stars.

NJ students do not have to pay to visit the Met. They characters keep buying tickets, but it is free. Other than that, this was a sweet, somewhat superficial book. The love was insta-romance, and everything fixed itself too easily. As s short book, the ending felt rushed and more tell than show. Also, I had a failure of suspension of disbelief on much of the time travel, how convenient it proved at the end, and how the book ignored how someone from the 1800’s with no birth or school record could just start living now.

I enjoyed the concept of this book but the execution was imperfect.

Many thanks to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for my ARC. All opinions are my own.

Really not much happens but it was decent.
19th century boy meets 21st century boy. They fall in love. Yada yada

While I enjoyed the concept of this story and appreciated a lot of things within it, some things didn't live up to the higher expectations I had for it.

However, it's still a quick, sweet and enjoyable read and Elias and Tyler are sure to make a lot of readers smile!
