I liked this book it was really good up until the end. The end really really sucked, and I mean really bad. I was so mad after I finished. I was like all that for nothing. The characters were ok. Their personalities weren't that brought out since a specific character wasn't the narrator the whole time. It kind of bounces around a little bit. Overall it was a good book. though. It is set in two different time periods which is cool. Oh and I just found out that it has three sequels which I'll have to read.
Review/Description
Disturbed by her parents' marital discord and completely taken for granted by Sean, her mechanically inclined boyfriend, Annie Lockwood is ripe for romance. And where better to find it than in the past--a past epitomized by the once elegant mansion about to be razed in her hometown. At the mansion during a storm, Annie finds herself falling 100 years back in time to a point, where she encounters the romantic idyll she has yearned for and where she alters the lives of several people when she and Hiram Stratton Jr. fall in love. But she realizes that the 1890s are not her time and makes the transition back to the present, only to realize that she has to return to prevent a miscarriage of justice because a ladies' maid has been wrongfully accused of murder. Life among the wealthy in the 1890s is nicely rendered, as are Annie's bittersweet experiences. However, after the first time, Annie's time shifting loses credibility, and her ready acceptance by the Strattons is forced.
