Title: Really just a cliche love story
Review: I thought the premise seemed interesting and was excited to read this book, but after about 40 pages I realized that the inclusion of time travel is the only clever element in an otherwise cliche love story. Really this book is merely about two people who meet, fall in love without really knowing each other, get married, and want to have babies. The unique part of the book--the time travel mentioned in the title--is there in structure only, and plays a very small, not at all believable role in the story. The logic and effects of the time travel are inconsistent and raise questions that are never answered. The resulting flaws are glaring--yet I continued reading, hoping there would be a redeeming payoff at the end. Instead, I was deeply disappointed to find that the novel's originality was only an illusion. Throwing in a "twist" like time travel without following through with it does not make your trite story compelling--instead, it results in frustrated readers.
