I picked this up not knowing the plot .... And time travel is not my cup of tea. That being said, I really enjoyed the first half of the book. I felt the second half to be way more unbelievable, and I really started to dislike the main character. I stuck it out thinking I'd only give it 3 stars, but after some unexpected twists and the wrap it up with a bow ending, I'll settle for 4 stars. It makes me want to go back and reread the Time Traveler's Wife.
