Reviews / Votes
'Holy s***. This book. I loved everything about it. The zingy dialogue, the romance, the suspense. The alternate history . . . It's a love story of the greatest kind' GILLIAN MCALLISTER'Some books become cultural touchstones that people bond over for years, like One Day or The Time Traveller's Wife.
