Absolutely loved this (audio) book! Stayed up until (close to) 2.30am in order to finish it, because I could NOT stop so close to the end. 

It really pulled me in, made me laugh, as well as hold my breath while sitting at the edge of my seat, and cheer on multiple occasions. In this case the alternating POVs between the two main characters works really well and definitely adds a lot.

Now I'm going to look up other books by this author <3

Two notes:

1) Many reviews have remarked on the fact that this book isn’t similar to Pride & Prejudice. I’d like to add that for anyone who was hoping for Pittsburgh (like me!), there is barely any Pittsburgh.

2) Not that I expect a serious exploration of homophobia in a lighthearted happy-ending YA romance, but the way this book handles homophobia is so toothless that it detracts from the book. Mentioning homophobia but not following through on it feels pointless.

It was fine for a YA romance, i guess. The ending and the discussion of time travel mechanics were fascinating. I’d read more books about this neighbor sending people back in time, but only if they’re more strongly Pittsburgh-flavored than this one.

Very sweet, with one of my favorite tropes, but I think I'm officially too old for YA. 😭
