Timeless by Pamela Diane King
Sweet and enjoyable romance that keeps you reading. I only guessed the twist at the end because of the title.
I think this book was cute but kind of cheesy and predictable. I felt that you could immediately tell what was going to happen and there was no reason to guess about anything! I felt that the characters were not developed and I KNOW that this book is written for teenagers yet I normally love those books. I just felt that the story was written quickly and the entire book felt as though it was rushed also. I just did not get it and the whole supernatural aspect of this book just seemed weird.
Timeless by King had me quite intrigued with the “back-cover” description. I’m a sucker for the “bad-boy & good-girl” romance story-lines. I was hoping to enjoy a quick little read about two opposites attracting in a high school setting with a great little suspense twist; however, as much as the story was cute and full of potential, I found it a little lacking.
Overall, I just couldn't get past the two main characters and their flaws. They were predicable and very cliche. The Grease references were done in an overkill style. The book would be a sweet and quick read for most, but for me it was too lackluster. I was annoyed with both characters and the story's ending finally had me interested. When the twist was revealed, I got excited to see how the characters would deal and where the story line would go, but then the story was over.
The idea that King has in this novel is a great one, especially if she focuses on the novel's ending as a possible beginning or middle. If she leaves the novel's story line as is she would have to rewrite the novel to include a better foreshadowing of the “twist." If she better developed Tommy and Jessica’s personalities so that they don’t come off as cliche or confusing, I believe she’d have a better novel as well.

I don't wanna continue reading this. Please disregard my rating and review.
I don't think I'm like this girl in the book when I was 14 year old. I'm not obsessed in falling in love then... LOL. It's a bit annoying to read her about Chase this, Chase that. Ugh, seriously. But well, some girls are really in that kind of phase.
I'm just really glad I'm not one of those girls. :D
