Book Synopsis:
Lizzie Davenport has been
reincarnated from Regency Era, England ... but she doesn't know it yet.
Then Drew Carmichael transfers into Lizzie's high school at the beginning of the year, and she feels a connection to him, almost like she knows him. She can't stop thinking about him, but whenever she tries talking with him about the mysteries behind her feelings, he makes it clear that he wants nothing to do with her. Reaching him is even more difficult because she has a boyfriend, Jeremy, who has started to become full of himself after being elected co-captain of the varsity soccer team, and her flirtatious best friend Chelsea starts dating Drew soon after his arrival. So why can't she get him out of her mind?
Even though Lizzie knows she should let go of her fascination with Drew, fighting fate isn't going to be easy

Book Review:
I myself am a large fan of the Victorian time, and I do love
books where past lives are uncovered, I find that to be one of the most
interesting topics to throw into a novel, and this book just happens to
encompass both of these things. Madow has most definitely earned my respect as
an author with this work. She has created characters who you will feel a
connection with. I shared in their pain and their joy, my heart quickened as
they are thrust into certain scenarios, and I found it very difficult to put the
work down.
This book has several plot twists, and in all honesty, I saw
none of them coming which just heightened my excitement to plow through the
rest of the book. There are times where you are sure you know something before
the other characters, and sometimes you do and sometimes you don’t, but the
excitement of finishing this book actually took a few days to wear off of me.
Madow has crafted a story of love, past loss, possible future loss, risk
taking, past lives, and present pain. Just a little bit of everything that fits
just so well together.
Favorite Quotes:
“It was like trying to recall a forgotten dream – each time
I felt close to remembering where we’d met, the memories slipped away.”
“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man
in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.”
“Soccer had to be the most boring, slowest game ever. It
would be much more interesting if every so often, the ball spontaneously
exploded.”
“But it was time to realize that I wasn’t Cinderella, and no
matter how hard I wished it were true, life wasn’t a fairy tale where everyone
lives happily ever after.”
“Music is powerful; it transforms emotions and experiences
into something tangible. Every time you hear a familiar song, the feelings from
it bubble to the surface, bringing back memories you might have otherwise
forgotten.”
All In All:
This book is a great first installment in what is sure to
quite an amazing series. I would recommend that you grab a copy and see for
yourself what I am talking about.
