Gwyneth Shepherd's sophisticated, beautiful cousin Charlotte has been prepared her entire life for traveling through time. But unexpectedly, it is Gwyneth who, in the middle of class, takes a sudden spin to a different era! Gwyneth must now unearth the mystery of why her mother would lie about her birth date to ward off suspicion about her ability, brush up on her history, and work with Gideon, the time traveler from a similarly gifted family that passes the gene through its male line, and whose presence becomes, in time, less insufferable and more essential.

Fun!
This book is just fun! Breezy, a little silly, and engaging, I enjoyed every minute of it. The narrator is excellent and really adds to the overall enjoyment of the book. I’ve become a huge Kerstin Geir fan - would live to see more of her books translated.

Cute, Funny, Somewhat Predictable
The story, while being fun, witty, and charming, was rather predictable. Not that in itself is a bad thing. The story plays out something like a made for TV teen movie, obvious bad guys, a plot twist, two cute love interests for the main teen character to decide upon. It even takes place over the winter holidays! However, the writing of the main character was interesting enough to see it through, and something that didn’t feel so heavy plot wise was very nice.
I’m fairly certain the narrator is what kept me drawn into the story the whole time. She had quite the job, with many different European accents to cover, including a little boy with a lisp! She was just as charming as the main character and gave life to a full cast.

Funny and intriguing
At first I felt it was going a bit slow and with all the characters, I lost track of who was who. But I love how with the story you identify everyone and the plot twist I didn't see it coming ! I really liked this book. It is perfect for a light read.
