Who would like this book? Fiction lovers who enjoy books with detailed plots.
Why? The suspense in this book builds up perfectly. It is a very well thought out book. I have never once in my life ever thought about whether time travel could be possible or not, but this book almost makes you believe it is. I love the characters in this book because they are all so unique and I can also relate to them. The main character, Miranda is receiving notes telling her about things that are going to happen. She is very confused and scared but can’t tell any one because the note said that if she did, something bad would happen. Is she ever going to find out the truth about the notes?
