Hello Fellow Readers,

The synopsis for this book is so unique and interesting, plus with such a gorgeous cover I jumped at the chance to read this. Sadly, this book is a bit of a disappointment. First, Besides the amazingly colorful cover, the thought of a time travel dating agency romance just sounded so good. I was hoping we'd get a couple of chapters about this and just how Ada can't seem to find her groove before we got to the meat of the story but sadly that didn't happen. The first chapter grabbed a hold of me and I was so invested but eventually, as I got to know Ada and read more of the story I just kept getting frustrated. 

As must as I wanted to like her, Ada just did not seem that likable. She was flat and seemed really immature, in fact, most of the characters and dialogue just seemed immature. Also, it could have benefitted from more description because there were plenty of times that I was just lost. I couldn't quite picture any of the scenes in my head and I had to go back and reread to grasp what the hell was going on. 

Overall, this just wasn't for me.
