For a Lifetime by Gabrielle Meyer
5.0

An emotional read about twin sisters that are time crossers living simultaneously in 1692 during the Salem Witch Trials and also in 1912 on the precipice of The Great Depression and World War I. These girls made me so emotional with their love and dedication for one another. But I'm getting ahead of myself.

This is Book 3 in Meyer's Timeless series, I haven't read the first two books but I really want to now after reading this one.

Hope and Grace are twin sisters that are part of a long family line of time crossers. They live in dual times and places and as they sleep each night, they wake up the next morning in the other place and time. I wasn't sure how Meyer was going to handle this time flip-flop and was rather impressed with how smoothly it went. I never felt jarred with the time transitions or character changes.

It's an emotional story though. Hope loves living in 1912 and on their upcoming 25th birthday, both girls plan to stay the rest of their lives in 1912 and far away from Salem, Massachusetts and the Witch trials taking place. No matter what happens, these sisters want to stay together and are determined to be each other's side. God has other plans for these young ladies and they will be forced with big decisions that will change everything about what they know today.

Romance is abound for these sisters as well. They are both navigating attractions and potential relationships on both sides of their timelines and this is also a big part of their decision on which timeline to choose as their future. A story filled with family love and despair, sisterly bonds that transcend time, and finding your person that you can share your life with.
