This book had my heart in a vice from page one. Every time I thought it was going to loosen its grip on me, Chamberlain amped up with another twist and curve in the road. Oh I ached for Carly. I loved Hunter. I wanted everything to work out, and yet in a book that deals with time travel, does anything ever work out?! The way Chamberlain wove time travel into a women's fiction, nonfantasy/sci-fi story was brilliant and believable. Each twist took me on the emotional journey with each and every character. Any holes in the story were well flushed out, which is difficult to say in a time traveling story and typically doesn't happen. But she made it all feel possible and real, like this could be me or my neighbor or my friend.
And what a fascinating way to deal with the events that happened with 9/11 and the Vietnam War. And the scene at the Vietnam Wall gave me goosebumps all over my body.
I've been desperate for a book that I could lose myself in and absolutely, whole-heartedly enjoy. This book was it. Much needed and so, so well-done.
