What terrible messes we get ourselves into when we are silly enough to fall in love. ~ Sara Donati
I liked the book a lot, but the *SPOILERS*
pop culture crossovers were a turnoff.

I think this book was recommended to me a long time ago because I had loved Outlander, but I had never gotten around to reading it until now. It was better than I had expected it to be, and I can definitely see myself diving into all of its many sequels. Elizabeth and Nathaniel are strong admirable main characters and reading about their unconventional life in the late 1700’s was intriguing and a great way to spend a comfy night in bed.
Predictable characters with an "everything magically turns out okay" ending, but overall a good read. Not in the same boat as Outlander, but still a good adventure/romance/drama/historical fiction.
I'm not sure if I liked it more or about the same when I read it the first time 10 years ago. The plot could have moved on a bit more quickly and a few bits felt quite far fetched. I still enjoyed it alright and welcomed the distraction from troubled times in real life. I wasn't sure if I wanted to continue with book (where the far fetched plot parts continue), but I'll most probably give it a try after all.
Oh my. I got this book from the library because I saw it advertised somewhere as a book similar to the Outlander series. Any one who knows me know that I've loved the Outlander series for years and years (and nearly died of expectation waiting for the latest book). This book is wonderful. Stunning. Captivating. Enthralling. And even has a mention of some beloved Outlander characters (which may have been going a bit too far, but it made me squeal anyway). I would very much recommend this book to anyone with a love for historical fiction.
Amazing and compelling read.Sara Donati tells a very intricately weaved story. I enjoyed this book a lot, and it has become one of my favorites.
