Rating: ![3 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-3-0.gif) Summary: Great concept, but a mean leading lady could spoil your fun. Review: I loved the concept of this book and thought the writing good in and of itself. However, I found the character of Missy, who is described as being a spoiled brat, just plain mean! It seemed every time she opened her mouth she was calling someone a name or just being rude. Even after she started thinking how bad she felt about the way she was treating her "new" friends, she continued to act the same way for awhile! She, of course, redeems herself in the end but I wish her character had been handled a little differently. Melissa was better, but she was so extreme the other way that she was still afraid of getting in a car after several months! For the most part, it was a good read. If you find Missy to be "spirited", "sassy" and "spoiled" instead of just plain mean, you'll probably enjoy this book much more than I did. 3 stars is the best I can give it.
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: A very balanced, symetrical time-travel read Review: I loved this book. My favorite characters were Jeff & Melissa, and
I did not find Jeff to be a wimp. He was very much male. He was incredibly protective of Melissa, and the things he said about Fabian really put that guy in his place! I do think, though, the book should have been called something like "Misadventures with Missy" or "Missy Makes Things Miserable". She was very dominating,
however, both her & Melissa made changes for the better through their personal growth in different time periods. Missy became less
selfish & Melissa became more self-assured. One reviewer said this
book had a sad ending, but I didn't find a sad ending. I think it
ended on a very happy tone. I had a lot of favorite parts. One
was when Jeff took Melissa to dinner, only to have the waiter hit on her, not once, but twice ... another was when Missy discovered she loved the taste of cigars & brandy on Fabian's mouth ... another was when
George told Melissa he knew she was not Missy. I definitely recommend this book and I will read another book by Eugenina Riley again.
Rating: ![4 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-4-0.gif) Summary: WOW Review: I was CAPTIVATED by the content of this book. I could not put it down. I find it funny that the families couldn't tell that it was two different people. I gave it 4 because the ending could have been a lot better, on the real though this book was the $h!t!

Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: Beautiful!!! A must read Review: It is one of the best novels I have read until now. I could not put it down - it was so exciting. It is romantic and fun. I like Fabian and Missy best - they are both so sure of themselves and so strong. Melissa and Jeffrey are slightly too weak for my taste but as a whole the book is so original so well written that it does not matter. I have already read it hundreds of times and the book has made the round of all my friends who just loved it. Do not miss it!
Rating: ![3 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-3-0.gif) Summary: Typical romance readers Review: The other reviewers complain about how mean Missy is gush about wet bread Melissa. My only complaint was that Missy was too much of a weeny too with a lot of name calling but no real spine. But I suppose a lack of backbone is a requirement for a romance heroine.
