At times I felt like this book ws too long, but it really did take that many pages to tell the story well. I didn't recognize any plot holes, which I always appreciate, especially in a time-traveling novel.

I've read this several times, and every time is just as good. Maybe better, because I always find some nuance I missed before.

Time travel novels are some of my favorite, and this one has a sweet romance at the heart. There is some adult situations and language, FYI.

Skip the movie. The ending was changed and the story as a whole is just more *obvious.* I prefer the subtlety of the book.
