Book Review Blurb: Time After Time by Lisa Grunwald

What a sweet and lovely lyrical story this was (and what a gorgeous and evocative cover)… I am captivated by time and stories about time anomalies, and this was a delightful find. It was whimsical and original and clever and I quite enjoyed it. I must admit that it felt like it could have used a slightly tighter edit – there are whole swaths of the story that describe the minutiae of Joe and Nora’s lives that, while I understood for the color they were providing, found to pull me out of the otherwise excellent pacing of the story arc. On the whole though I really enjoyed this – it was touching and beautiful and magical without ever feeling heavy-handed. I recently read another novel about the history of Grand Central Terminal and found the level of detail in that regard to be spot-on and to paint a marvelous picture of a time and place that almost became a character itself, given the direction of the story. Very well done!

Thanks to NetGalley for my review copy.
