I wasn't expecting to like this book, but I was taken by surprise. It's been months since a book has captivated my attention as much as this novel has. I'm only familiar with Brashares' writing through what little I know of the Sisterhood of the Traveling pants, so I was pleasantly surprised by her writing style and was drawn in by her characters. I loved the flashbacks through Daniel's past lives and Lucy's search to learn more about hers. I think this book will really appeal to fans of The Time Traveler's Wife.
