Reviews for Timeless
Timeless by Alexandra Monir
Also reviewed on my blog, the Vintage Bookworm. (http://www.vintagebookworm.blogspot.com)
Wow. I finished this book about a month ago now and I'm still thinking about it. When I look at this book I can't help but smile. It is so romantic and heart-wrenching. I knew from the moment I heard about this book that I wanted to read it, and I knew I would love it. It's just one of those books you know the moment you hear about it that you are going to like it. It definitely did NOT disappoint me!
I've had time to think over what I was going to say about this book in my review, but I am still in shock over it all. I'm still wondering "What the hell just happened here?" but in a completely good way. It's just one of those books that is overly amazing and you are wondering minutes, hours, days, months what the heck just happened. Until you finally get the next installment and dive in and get that "Ahhhhh" =) feeling. You know what I mean?
Not only is this book AMAZING, but it's utterly beautiful. The writing is gorgeous! And the descriptions. Arg! Makes it even more amazing. I love the lyrics added in, they are beautiful. Monir put juuust the right amount into it to where it wasn't major overload.
The plot is unique and just very romantic. This book made me hurt so badly for Michele. Everything she had to endure with her mom and then with Philip.
Oh, and you can definitely NOT forget about the awesome history that is in this book and how well crafted and genius Monir put this book together! You won't really understand until you read this book and that's all I'm going to say.
Overall, I can't really say much about this book until after you read it. Whenever you do, please send me an email and strike up a conversation about this book so I can overload you on how awesome I think this book is and we can discuss the awesome-ness of it. Please?? I'm DYING for the sequel. Seriously.
Also, the cover is GORGEOUS! It's so, so, so beautiful! Possibly one of my top five favorite covers of the year. by AmandaReviewed by Jaglvr for TeensReadToo
When Michele's mother is killed in a car accident, she finds herself being sent across the country to live with her grandparents. She has never met them before, and can't fathom why her mom would have named them as her guardians. Long ago, her mother had disobeyed her parents and ran away with the boy she loved. But Henry disappeared, leaving Marion alone and pregnant.
Life with Walter and Dorothy Windsor is different from everything Michele has ever known. Michele and her mom got by, but that was all. The Windsors, though, are rich. As in, old New York money rich. And Michele's bedroom once belonged to any number of young Windsor women.
It's in a locked drawer that Michele discovers a diary of one such Windsor teenager. With the diary and a strange key that Dorothy has given Michele, an unbelievable adventure begins.
Michele has dreamed of an unknown boy for a long time. The dreams seem so real, but Michele knows she has never met the boy with the captivating sapphire eyes. But when she lands in the world of the diary (100 years in the past!), she realizes that Philip Walker is the boy she has dreamed about. And only Philip and Michele's great-great aunt Clara can see Michele. Michele can travel from the past to the present, but Philip cannot travel with Michele.
Michele and Philip fall in love - but their love is doomed from the start. They can never exist 100% together in either world. And that's what makes the story so heartbreaking. They are meant to be together, but so many obstacles are in their way. Philip is ahead of his time and Michele seems a better fit for the past. Weaving throughout a handful of years, and different relatives, Michele tries to learn the meaning of the mysterious key, find a way to finally be with Philip, and discover why one other man can see her.
I absolutely *loved* TIMELESS! I was drawn into the unfortunate love of Michele and Philip. They are an amazing couple and I can't wait to see how the next part of their tale plays out! Of course, Ms. Monir leaves the story with a cliffhanger. If you've read and enjoyed Maurissa Guibord's WARPED, then you simply have to pick up TIMELESS. Maybe the author should have titled it "Breathless," because that's how the final pages will leave you. by TeensReadToo
