Gwyneth's family expected her cousin Charlotte to be the one to travel through time when one day Gwyneth suddenly went back in time.

The first on hundred and fifty some odd pages were fantastic. Based on them and the last twenty pages I would give this book five stars. If I just looked at the rest of the book I would have given it two stars.

I enjoyed the introduction of the characters, but I felt as if getting to know the characters was all accomplished in this book. We were generally told what the problems were, but we weren't told why they came about. I got frustrated with the lack of information told to Gwyneth. Her family and those in charge kept telling her to not trust anyone, she wouldn't understand what was happening, she was to naive, and other things along those veins.
