A Romance You'll Remember

 

Don't let the title fool you. This is not really a science fiction novel although there is time travel involved. It is a love story with a twist and Audrey Niffenegger manages to keep you reading long into the night with her debut novel. The couple in this book have obstacles to tackle you could never imagine. How would you like to not be able to control where you go and travel back or up to different times in your life? Oh, and you always arrive buck naked! I so recommend this book, it's as they say, "A must read."

  • First novel for this author and first novels are usually the best books.
  • A much more stimulating love story than the average boy meets girl.
  • It is well written and thought provoking.
  • It makes you laugh and cry and think!

About Robbin

I'm an optician by trade but my true passion is designing and making jewelry and learning all I can about gemstones. I'm new to growing herbs but it's been a dream of mine for a long time and at this point in my life I'm lucky enough to indulge myself in things that were once dreams. How much better than that does it get?
