Jackson Meyer is a 19-year-old Upper East Sider with a loving and loyal girlfriend, a brilliant and funny best friend and an unexpected and exciting new talent.
Inexplicably, Jackson can suddenly "jump" back and forth in time. Exploring his gift for time travel begins as harmless fun but quickly turns into a bona fide race against time as Jackson journeys two years into the past to save the girl he loves in the present. Using a combination of Jackson's journal entries and his own first-person narration, debut author Cross takes readers on a thrilling ride as Jackson struggles to harness his abilities in a desperate attempt to learn the truth about who he is and, even more importantly, who he can trust. Though plenty complicated, the logistics of time travel are woven into the story in a way that makes them accessible to readers yet still feel organic. The characters are equally well crafted. Complex and distinct, they will work their way into readers' hearts and stay with them long after the book is finished.
An interesting take on time travel, and great characters. I'm usually not a big science fiction fan, but this book had me hooked from the beginning. It was entertaining to read how Jackson was able to win over his girlfriend once again and what lengths he would take to get there, and how one person can change in the span of two years. I loved the whole CIA aspect of the book which made me even more intrigued. It was fun trying to figure out who Jackson could trust, and who were the bad guys. The only thing that bugged me was the part about Emily, and how she knew so much about Jackson and the future, but wasn't willing to tell. I usually don't like how most book series end, but this one was pretty satisfying, and I can't wait to read what comes next.
