North of Nowhere by Liz Kessler
5.0

4.5
I loved this book. I went into it expecting to hate it. (Honestly, though! That synopsis? YAWN). I thought it was gonna be your stereotypical girl goes to live with grandparents for vacation, she's absolutely distraught, because the place doesn't have internet, coming of age, stupid romance, yada yada yada. But it was LIZ KESSLER. So I had to read it.

Boy, was I glad I did! Everything I listed above? Despite the first chapter, it's not like that -- not at all. It was a mystery. But a fun one. The clues slowly appeared (at first, so subtley that it wasn't until later you realized they had been there), and throughout the book you're slowly putting pieces together, until... BAM! MIND. BLOWN.

Time travel. Never thought it could be accomplished in a way that left me satisfied and without questions. But it was. It was amazing. Fantastic. Thoroughly enjoyable cover-to-cover.

I'm 16, and I highly recommend this book!
