I read this book in one sitting, I could not put it down. As a mother myself, I was able to relate to Maria's character so much that by the end of the book I had tears running down my face. The time travel aspect of the book was laid out clearly and wasn't confusing at all, unlike some other time travel books that I have read and had a hard time wrapping my mind around. The whole Henry/Maria situation was bittersweet and I almost wished the author had spent a little more time on that. It all was concluded rather quickly in the last few chapters and I found myself wishing there had been a little better set up or more to that part of the story. Still a beautiful, thought provoking story that had me wondering what I would do if I were put in the same situation. 4.5/5 stars but rounded up to 5 because I was just really impressed with this debut. Highly recommend!
