In a Nutshell: This is like reading two historical stories in one. I have never seen such a unique approach to a dual timeline novel. I was sure this would get a minimum of 4.25 stars. The ending made me jump up a notch.Story: I'm trying very hard not to reveal too much here!Nineteen year old Libby lives two lives simultaneously – one in 1774 and the other in 1914. (Yup, you read that right.) When she goes to sleep at night in one life, she wakes up in the other, and vice versa.In 1774, she is ...

Even though it is still early in the year, When the Day Comes by Gabrielle Meyer has definitely found a place on my list of favorite books of 2022. This time-crossing novel has such a unique premise unlike any I have ever read before, with Libby living simultaneously in two different time periods and having to decide on her 21st birthday which path she will remain in forever. When she goes to sleep in one time period, she wakes up the next day in the other time period, and vice versa. I had neve...

This book did not disappoint! The hype was founded! I love the time periods, I love the cover, I love the whole concept. There's so much drama, and I didn't know how it would end. And when I thought I knew who I liked and hated, and how I wanted it to end, the author managed to change my mind and left me feeling bittersweet about the outcome. At first I gave this 4 ½ stars because with Libby living two lives in different time periods, it felt like she was cheating on the guys and I didn't like t...

WOW. Literally my FAVORITE book of 2023 ya'll. This book had me invested from the very beginning. I love time travel books and this one was BEAUTIFUL. This is all about Libby who lives 2 lives - one during 1774 in Colonial Williamsburg Virginia and the other in 1914 New York. She wakes up every day alternating these different time lines. When she turns 21, she must make the decision to either stay in 1774 or 1914. What Libby goes through is difficult and she must make some hard decisions through...

THIS BOOK WAS SO GOOD!!!/end capslock of doom/steps quietly off soapboxIt's refreshingly unique in time-travel/time-slip fiction; Meyer is incredibly creative in managing the nuances of the genre, and breathes fresh life into it and these characters. I was kept guessing the entire time, and the ending came out of nowhere (in the best way)--yet was so satisfying.I particularly adored the WIlliamsburg/1775-ish setting; I'll freely admit that I grew up on the American Girl books, and Felicity was--...

Trigger Warning: rape (marital rape), sexual assault. About this book: “Libby has been given a powerful gift: to live one life in 1774 colonial Williamsburg and the other in 1914 Gilded Age New York City. When she falls asleep in one life, she wakes up in the other without any time passing. She has one conscious mind but two very different lives and bodies. In colonial Williamsburg, Libby is a public printer for the House of Burgesses and the Royal Governor, trying to provide for her family and ...

See my review on my blog here https://veganbookblogger.wordpress.co...This book is incredibly unique. Not many authors can write different genres as well as this one does. But she writes books that are done equally well in each genre she writes.This book has a unique look at time traveling. When our main character goes to sleep in one time period she'll wake up in another time period without any time having passed.She splits her time between 1774 Colonial Williamsburg and the other in 1914 Gilde...

This is definitely going on my list of favorite books for 2022! I loved it so much! I didn't want to put it down! This book made me feel so much. I even cried several times while reading, which is incredibly rare for me. I loved the concept of time crossing and think that the author did an excellent job with that. This is a one of a kind book and I can't recommend it enough!I received a complimentary copy from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed a...
