BEST THING: Okay, this is kinda weird, but I LOVED the Tessa's real name - Tesseract. I love the Madeleine L'Engle books and I thought that this fit so well, especially with all of the time-warp aspects.
I thought that this was a good, easy read. I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that I wasn't sure that this was something that I wanted to read. It ended up being a thoughtful book that made me smile. The writing was easy, a good lazy Sunday read for me. I think that might have been my only letdown with this novel. I think that if it had been slightly more polished, it would have been a much better read. There were a couple of awkward phrases and transitions that made it hard for me to follow the story.
I loved the characters - again, a little underdeveloped in some places but overall, great. Tessa's best friend Opal was definitely a highlight. She was the perfect counterpoint to Tessa's logical mind. And SO much fun! :) Will was also amazing. He was perfect for Tessa, and their love, while fated, takes on a passion and life of it's own. It was very, very realistic - apart from the whole time-travel thing.
My rating: 4 out of 5 - It was definitely left open for a sequel, which I will definitely be reading.
