The story of Clare and Henry was surprisingly easy to follow, even with all of Henry's time traveling. A great story, and the ending left me wanting and wishing that there was more.

This made me cry, quite a lot. I think the romance was sort of helpless, like they both know it’s predestined and can’t help it. But I loved it.

Yikes. The author sure is good with words, but otherwise this is awful. A pretentious, cliche, and boring man travels through time to groom and rape his future wife. Just yuck.

dark tense

I like time travel.  I'm glad we've got a female protagonist.  It sucks that our protagonist decides all she wants to do is wait around while life bleeps and bloops around her.
