"As cheesy as the name makes it sound, this is one of the very few books I can read over and over. It's a beautiful and very creative story that keeps you guessing. The ending is bittersweet and makes me cry every time! Definitely worth reading...it's become a favorite of mine for sure."

— Marianne (5 out of 5 stars)

    " This book was one of my first forays into the world of romance novels. It appealed to me due to the fantasy/time travel element, and I find that those are the only ones in this genre that I truly enjoy. I was in high school when I read this, so I think my recollections of it are tainted with sentimentality. "
