I quickly got into this book and it was a smooth and enjoyable read. I like the concept of the book, but the way the plot eventually turned out seemed to me to have some condescending undertones related to people's life choices that I didn't really love. I think the book could have achieved the same plots twists without the negative reflection.

I listened to The Bookseller on audio, and I have to say that it really surprised me. I wasn’t expecting to like this book so much. It took it a little while to get into a groove for me, but once it did I was hooked on the story. I really didn’t see the twist coming until fairly far into the book, so that was also fun for me. This is a great read for anyone who enjoys time-travel and a little bit of a mystery. (4 Stars)

Is Kitty real, or is Katharyn real?

I always find it slightly strange when books are set in the past, but there really seems to be no need for it.

Read my full thoughts over at Read.Write.Repeat.

As the lines between two lives become increasingly blurred, this book becomes increasingly difficult to put down.

Anything I write will give this away. Suffice to say, it was an interesting format that gave a lot to think about.

The premise behind this story is interesting, and the story moves through quickly but there is zero character development. I also felt like there was never a twist, I knew what was coming and anticipated it. I really wanted there to be another twist but it never came and so it was just a predicible one. The characters left much to be desired. I didn't feel anythign for the main character and it seemed as though she should change things about herself after learning about certain things, but she didn't. None of the other characters had much depth either they were all just there. Good idea, poor execution, not recommened.

I liked this one way more than I thought I was going to. It kept me interested and curious the whole time. This isn't a book I would normally pick, but hey, I'm glad I did. It has romance, friendship, and mystery, along with a well written plot!

An incredibly engaging story. I found myself thinking about it a lot when I wasn't reading and I couldn't wait to read more. The last bit of the book felt a little too sappy, but I liked how everything finally came together at the end.

Engrossing storyline, I enjoyed that the dream sequences are what propelled the main character between the "time periods"
