really liked it

A matchmaking service but with a twist. You can date a man from the 1800s, the 80s or anywhere in between. Because why use time travel for anything else!

I joke, but I did have this question as most readers probably did, why use time travel to have people find love instead of I don't know... curing diseases in a certain era?! The author mentions through the dialogue of her characters, that it is illegal to tamper with technology of the era you're traveling to, which makes sense... how would they go about inventing a cure if they already have it? Where did they get it from? Who researched the cure? The list goes on. I honestly don't understand the low rating for this book, it's a silly wattpad book, but it's not. It can be taken lightly or seriously and I think it has merit.

I'm satisfied with the pace of the story, I found myself flipping page after page, which is noteworthy because I haven't been like this with reading (so quickly!) in months or even years.

Ada, Henry, Teddy, Sam, Ms. Little... they all are quite interesting characters if a tad bit one dimensional. And I gotta say, I didn't see much change on Ada's part through the book but c'est la vie. Additionally, I was confused with the repetitive saying "What is to be, will be, even if it never happens." I found myself at times understanding it and then returning the book and realizing I don't have a dang clue what it means. Those were my only qualms with the book.

I think the writing was excellent, no typos, great pacing, I'd recommend it to others. Overall, a good read.
