Lisa Grunwald's Time After Time is part time travel fantasy, part boy-meets-girl love story, part love story to Manhattan. I found it fascinating at times (especially the love story to Manhattan bits), swoon-worthy on more than a few occasions, heartbreaking beyond belief, and incredibly frustrating for a whole slew of reasons.Unfortunately, none of these I can really get into without this turning into one giant spoiler. Well, I suppose the Manhattan bits might be safe if they didn't tie in so tightly to so many other aspects.
Rating this is hard. I suppose a 3.5 would work. The parts that I loved, I loved enthusiastically. The parts that I didn't would have had me throwing the book across the room had it not been on my phone. I will say, though, that I'm already thrilled that the movie rights have been acquired. We'll have to wait and see.
