I really did enjoy this book. I love books about traveling and time and this was right up my alley. I would recommend

Anna's a runner who was sure she spotted a boy sitting on a bench watching her one minute and poof disappeared in the next instant, only to turn up at her high school in the form of new student, Bennett who she felt an attraction to but he denied being on the bench.

As the story unfolds, similar in idea to The Time Traveler's Wife, Anna and Bennett have an undying love toward each other but can only be together in the right circumstances. Decoding this is a bit of a process, yet the love is there to try to keep them together. What could have been the "I love you, but I can't be with you" became more substantive and Anna realizes though notes from her older self that she must life for her, not Bennett and there might be a chance to end up together. Cheesy, yes. Deliciously youth-filled romance, yes. Done and done and definitely worth handing out to your chicklit-loving girls!

What I appreciate from the story is Anna having two loving parents and a great friend, no need to be anything but a strong, vibrant girl but with a boyfriend who time travels!

LOVE. a good time travel story, but books about time travel never usually get me the way movies do. This one, however, was an exception. The characters were well-developed, their interactions ACTUALLY MADE SENSE, and overall I was rooting for the relationship in this book. The ending made me happy and satisfied, and I left this book feeling all warm and fuzzy inside.

I do not believe I requested this title. I'm not sure why it's on my shelf. I do not intend to read it.

I love the YA feel meets the Time Traveler's Wife. Really well written.

My Thoughts:
Recently I've gotten into reading stories about time travel. I don't know if it's from my obsessive Doctor Who watching or what, but it's all I've wanted to read about lately. Time Between Us has been on my tbr for a while, so I decided to give it a try. I went in with no expectations because I hadn't heard much about it, and ended up enjoying it, even though it was a little cliche.

At first, Time Between Us made me really confused, which I typically hate. However, it worked well in this book. I liked finding out things alongside Anna, instead of just being told what was happening right away. It added to the mystery and suspense of the book, and kept me interested. There was a lot of mystery and intrigue throughout the book. When it was finally revealed when Bennett was born, my jaw dropped. It added a whole new layer to the story, which made things even more complex. I loved it.

There are a few problems that I had with the book. It was very tropey, and cliche. It reminded me a lot of Twilight in a way, which might be good for it's intended young adult audience, but I've been over the whole Twilight thing for a few years now. I've outgrown it. For example, a lot of the important scenes take place in a school cafeteria, like Twilight. There's also an unexplainable connection to each other, and instalove that's similar to Twilight. Last but not least, he shows up uninvited her bedroom, which reminded me of Twilight, and is always creepy. The plot was also predictable at times. I guessed what was going to happen with the contest, and a few other things that I don't want to get too into because of spoilers, from the start.

Even though I had a couple of issues with Time Between Us, I ended up really enjoying it. It made me want to read more of Tamara Ireland Stone's books, which I will be doing right away. I think it should be interesting to read the sequel to this, Time After Time. I'm not sure how a sequel will take place after the way everything ended, but I'm excited to read it because I really want more of these characters. I recommend this book for young adult readers, those that like Twilight and want similar books, and people that love reading about time travel.

I give Time Between Us: 3.5/5.

I simply couldn't get enough of this book. I was able to read/review this book mainly because I joined a ARC tour from Southern Book Bloggers. I couldn't wait to read this one and wasn't disappointed once I had.
