Loved it back in 2013, sixth grade, loved it now. It's funny, quick, captivating. The pacing is good, and the foreshadowing is REAL. It may be a little trashy/dumb, but even having expectations didn't ruin my reading. I also liked the fact that most of the historical details were correct. One thing that was a little annoying is that everything happens in a span of three days, which is just insane, especially if we're talking about Gwendolyn and Gideon's relationship.
That is all. I read half or the book today and jumped straight to the second one.

This was fun! The writing style reminded me of Meg Cabot or Sophie Kinsella-very readable. My only lament is that not very much happened, I feel. I kept looking at how many pages were left, thinking, "surely, this is a sequel" and sure enough, it was. The romance was a bit whirlwindy, but at least that is open to interpretation . That being said, I'll totally be back for the next installment.
Spoiler
I assume Gideon is Trustworthy, but Gwen's mom DID say "trust no one" so maybe he's a baddie and that's why he's all going in for the kiss all of the sudden?

Dios, esta trilogía es mi lugar feliz sin ninguna duda. Me da igual que la protagonista tenga 16 años, que el interés romántico sea insoportable y que en este libro no pasw absolutamente nada, es una obra maestra. Me encanta como van cementando los sucesos que van a pasar en los siguientes libros, en otros viajes, cosas que "ya pasaron" pero que a la vez "aún no". Gideon es insoportable, pero cuando es majo con Gwen me cae bien. Ahora, mi corazón en este libro se lo llevan Paul y Lucy sin dudarlo son monísimos los quiero un montón.
Y COMO GWEN LE DICE A GIDEON ESTOY LISTA SI TU LO ESTAS Y LUEGO LUCY SE LO DICE A PAUL POR DIOS SOY LÁGRIMAS. Me da tanta rabia que su primer encuentro sea tan corto y caótico pq se les nota tan destrozados y con ganas de decírselo todo a Gwendolyn que podría arrancarme el corazón del pecho
