This was the very first Jen Lancaster book I ever picked up and it left me with a good first impression. The book was easy to read, amusing and since a good chunk of the book was about her days in college, I could even relate while reading. Definitely a good choice if you're in the mood to read some memoirs.

No lie, I only picked this book up and sped-read through it in order to watch the movie a few days later with a best friend.

The story is intriguing, presenting an interesting view of a time traveller, not only from his perspective but also from that of his family. Switching between perspectives and timelines, this story was a good read, but sort of dragged on longer than it needed.
During the first book, I literally did not want to stop reading. The story of Clare and Henry was grasping, being allowed glimpses of the future and past at the same time. Around the middle of book two, though, I was ready for the story to come to a close.

I would recommend this book, though, because it is a good story. Avoid the movie, though, it's just disappointing in comparison.
