He’s from 1892 England, she’s in a small library in 2017. And that's just the start of their troubles.

Emme never meant to stay in Maine. She'd come only to find a librarian for her Gram's library, a custodian for the collection of mysterious books she'd promised to protect. On a dark, wintery night, alone in the library, she takes her first glance into one of the antique novels and finds herself transported to 1892 England staring into the eyes of handsome and dashing hero Jack Ridgewell. As each chapter passes she learns you can truly fall in love with a character in a book, that book boyfriends are real and Emme must choose between the real world, and his.

When the last page is read he's gone and Emme feels the cold loneliness of lost love. Will she find Jack again, or will their love be forever lost? The answer lies within the pages…

    5.0 out of 5 stars Mysterious and intriguing
    Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2021
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Emme has one remaining member of her family, her elderly grandmother who raised her. As Emme goes about her life in California, she gets a life changing call. She needs to go back to Maine, her grandmother is dying, leaving her small town library to Emme and extracting Emme's promise that she will read the books under the floorboards and run the library for the rest of her life. Emme holds a secret gift, the ability to travel into books, specifically to go back in time and record important events of influential people's lives. As Emme falls hopelessly for her first assignment, she enters a crazy whirlwind of discovering herself, her purpose and the true parameters for her gift. Will Emme stay at the library and continue her mission? Or will she find a new keeper for it and continue her previous life plans.

    I am a sucker for books about books. So of course this made my Indie TBR list. Emme did not disappoint in the fellow bookworm category. But even more than the intrigue of a book about books, I loved the mystery. How both we and Emme didn't know the whole story and got snippets of facts at a time. Until Christy had mercy on us and had Emme travel through a book that would give her the answers. I actually thought Christy did a fantastic job of knowing when to withhold information and when to give it.

    I have so many questions. However most of my questions are more about Lockheart and why he chose time travel, how he selected Emme's great grandmother to try it out on etc. I'm hoping the next two books in the series shed some light on it, but that's mostly me overthinking things and the story will continue to be incredible with or without that information.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great read for mature YA and New Adult readers
    Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2021
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    This time travel novel is about Emmeline (Emme) who's a 19 year old college student from 2017 and has the course of her life changed when she has to go home to take care of her grandmother's library. She learns that some of the women in her family are able to time travel through books and have created a secret librarian society to help preserve history. She goes back in time to document the history of people who will do important things.
    Jack is 20 years old and from 1892 wants to do his own thing and not follow in his father's footsteps. Emme and Jack are likeable characters and fun to get to know. Emme is supposed to observe and record information. She's not supposed to interact with the people she's documenting. Interacting with her subject could ultimately change both the past and impact the future.

    There are a few grammatical and editorial issues, but they really didn't detract from the story. I enjoyed the characters and love the premise of time traveling librarians. Being a librarian myself, I'd love to be able to time travel through books.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting concept, poor execution
    Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2019
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Genre: Contemporary Fantasy
    Rating: 3.5/5

    Emmeline Bailey is a nineteen-year-old college student living in California with big plans to move to England and teach. She's never been one for commitment in relationships--wanting nothing to tie her down. When her grandmother falls seriously ill, Emme must return to her hometown in Maine. Her grandmother dies, leaving a library to Emme...and a secret. Emmeline is part of a line of women who can travel in books as a preserver of history. She does so accidentally one day and meets a handsome man named Jack. She quickly develops a strong attachment to him and wonders if she could leave everything behind to stay with him...

    This book was heavily advertised on my Facebook feed for a while, and I finally gave in and bought it because it sounded totally amazing (I LOVE time travel in general) and the cover is phenomenally beautiful. The concept is sort of mind-blowing and has endless possibilities. Who wouldn't want to travel inside books or travel through time? However, the execution of the story was ultimately poor.
    First of all, the main character is shallow. While she has "big dreams" to move to another country, her behavior is irritating and childish. She was constantly talking about how, before the events of this book, she only wanted to make out and hook up with guys. She and her friends casually go drinking at a bar with fake IDs, not batting an eye. She had only one close friendship and was willing to throw that away after one fight. She would fly off the handle about things emotionally and then become alarmed when others did the same. She fell in love instantly with the man in the book and then took things way too far, causing lots of trouble and heartache. And this plot relies heavily on her not being told anything about the book/time travel process, which does create conflict, but it's a super lazy way of doing so. The ending was also patched up quickly and unrealistically.
    I also found the book predictable, especially the part about JR Builders.
    The other reason this book was difficult for me to get through was the writing--mainly the misuse of tenses. I don't think this author or her editor (if there was one) knows anything about the past perfect tense, which made the book quite confusing in many areas.

    There are a few areas that gave this book a glimmer of hope. The overall concept, of course, is totally fascinating. Some of the explanations and discussions about the actual process were interesting. The love story, while at first irritating and unbelievable, did sort of start to grow on me after a while. I did feel sad for her when things fell apart and for what she had to do to fix it at the end.

    Overall, this book held promise, but I ultimately wouldn't recommend it.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this story, I wasn't sure I wanted to to wrap up properly or leave things open for a sequel, I think in fact both have been achieved. I would love to have the ability Emme has to travel through books, alas I'm sure it isn't going to happen. A fun read.

    The plot was very interesting. Uncommon. But…
    Everything is running too fast, love and hate. Nothing magical between the 2 characters, they love each other fast ok (love at first sight, etc) but they can’t fight fate. The author brings a twist, obvious. Emme is in love head over heels, but beyond selfishness, poor Jack. But the author found a way for wrapping everything up with a nice ribbon at the end. It results a huge disappointment.
