Completely out of nowhere Emme's life is thrown into more disorder than she could have believed possible. After escaping the cold of Maine and going to college in Berkeley, she gets the call that her beloved grandmother who is her only family is critically ill. Too soon Emme makes a promise to grandmother as she is dying and finds that life is seriously weird. With no warning or instructions she finds the library's hidden secrets and totally unexpectedly falls into a book that leads to time travel!
The story explores the sisterhood of librarians who are the keepers as well as Emme's confusing time travels to the same man several times. A great read for a blustery afternoon.
Piper Goodeve is the voice artist who gives excellent voice to show more the characters. show less
This was a cute time travel story. I listened to this book and overall enjoyed it. A cute tail about time travel. I think the book is what it is, nothing unexpected or crazy, but definitely enjoyable. Will I remember it in a year? Probably not. But I will way the author did a great job of not making this book confusing. Sometimes with the jumping around it can get confusing, but they did a great job. Even on audio, I was able to follow along.
