This is a really great short story, having what I what in short story - great characters, a story that hooks you from the start, no loose ends or hanging story threads, a satisfying ending.
I liked that the differences in 1860 are pointed out by Ethan (amd Bobby's) experiences rather than me just being told. Despite being a hard working woman, Hes comes over as a self absorbed teen, even in the 1860's! Ethan and Quinn together were interesting, juggling their private adventures and having to behave in front of an audience. And an ending thats both expected and unexpected and satisfying.
As always, good clear writing, no excess words and the story flows nicely.

Nice little time-travelling short! My copy is a first edition; I'd find it interesting to compare it to the new, expanded 2nd edition.

Basically, Blue River is a light romance with some angst added to keep the reader interested, so I’m giving this one a rating of 4 stars!
