Time Between Us by Tamara Ireland Stone is about a girl (Anna), and boy (Bennet) and their extremely complicated but sweet relationship. Anna and Bennett were never supposed to meet: she lives in 1995 Chicago and he lives in 2012 San Francisco. But Bennett’s unique ability to travel through time and space brings him into Anna’s life, the only reason was to wait for his sister who got lost in 1995. Although as he runs into Anna, things get even more complicated. He can’t help but fall for her and she doesn’t deny. As their relationship deepens, they face the reality that time might knock Bennett back where he belongs; even as a devastating crisis throws everything they believe into question. Although in the end Anna makes a choice which changes her past and future and thankfully she makes the right choice so Bennet gets the opportunity to stay in her life.
When I opened the book I was expecting to be blown away by another bittersweet tale of love. I guess my expectations were too high because in all honesty I was disappointed. I got really frustrated in the beginning when they wouldn’t tell us the whole story and kept us guessing, and I like a mystery as much as the next girl but after a while it got tiring and I just wanted to know what was really going on. I dreaded especially the parts when Bennet kept changing his attitude towards Anna, like one time he liked her and another time he couldn’t stand her, those parts really got to me and I felt like throwing the book across the room because it just kept going round and round and not getting to the point. Of course that made sense later on because he was redoing the moment but those first few chapters were torture and it got me extremely confused at times.
