There was something so elegiac and poetic about this story; how the universe always had a way to bring them in each others life, again and again. Something so agonizing and gut-wrenching; not knowing how two perfect strangers had so powerful feelings for one another and yet being persuaded they’re only fantasying, being in love with a sort of imaginary person only builded and existing in their deepest dreams.
At the age of four year old, young Quinn woke up screaming and demanding where was her husband Nick, the dreamsnightmares persisted until around eight or nine year old and then they just sort of vanished because of a traumatizing event. But at 28 and mere weeks before her wedding, Quinn had yet an other "episode" where she fainted and started then mumbling again about her imaginary spouse after a sens of déjà vu while visiting an Inn avenue. The passing-out in the middle of the day and realistic dreaming became a constant for a few days until she was finally hospitalized for checking and pin-pointing what was wrong with her. And what was her surprise when she found out that her neurologist was none-other than Nick in her dreaming-husband-Nick
The time traveling aspect of the story was actually the main plot, the "how-why-where-when" were questioned by Quinn who just wanted to know what the hell was happening to her and Nick, the doctor who wanted a rational and scientific answer to how a perfect stranger knew absolutely everything about him. Now, I liked that this part of the storyline had an actual "scientific explication". Thanks to Miss O’Roark; who didn’t drop a crazy plot-line without more development for its "origine".
At the end, the book is left with some voids to comble and I understand it; the author preferred to insert the final revelation in the next book in the duology. However, I can’t stop thinking that Quinn didn’t actually "time travel" but jump in her "parallel-world-self" or alternate universe alter-ego. We know that there was a tierce personne so set on separating them in each world but we don’t know yet why or who...
The romance part was harrowing to read not that it was bad; Quinn was torn between a "once in a life time, inexplicable and unexpected love" and the man she grow up with and was some steps appart to marry.I absolutely loathe love triangles, that’s why it was so hard to read.
Quinn and Nick’s, connection and chemistry were literally alive throughout the book. They played with the love triangle a huge role in the devastating and emotional path the storytelling was embracing. With that said, I’m again excited yet terrified to face the second book.

Am I the only one with a too-scared-to-read list of books literally MEMORIZED in my head?! Well, this series is in the top ten and now I’m half excited half terrified to read it!

This just was not for me. I didn't feel any chemistry between the characters and didn't care about their alternative lives, time travelling or whatever other conflicts. After forcing myself to return to this again and again, I'm just giving up.

Holy cliffhanger, Batman!
This book was a wild ride, and had me intrigued from the first page.
Twisty and gaining in mind-warping intensity with each subsequent chapter.
Solid read! On to book two…
