Synopsis

One of the greatest love stories in history gets derailed when a struggling poet at Cambridge runs into a time-traveler who agrees to help him find his muse—a thoughtful and uplifting romantic comedy for fans of About Time and The Midnight Library.Cambridge University, 2005: Student Joe Greene scribbles verses in the margins of his notebook, dreaming of a future where his words will echo through the ages, all while doubting it could ever happen.Then, the future quite literally finds him—in the form of Esi. She’s part of a time-traveling tour, a trip for people in the future to witness history’s greatest moments firsthand. The star of this tour? Joe Greene. In Esi’s era, Joe is as renowned as Shakespeare. And he’s about to meet Diana, a fellow student and aspiring actress, who will become his muse and the subject of his famous love poems.But Esi is harboring a secret. She’s not here because she idolizes Joe—actually, she thinks his poetry is overrated. Something will happen at Cambridge this year that will wreck Esi’s life, and she’s hell-bent on changing it. When Esi goes rogue from her tour, she bumps into Joe and sends his destiny into a tailspin. To save both their futures, Esi becomes Joe’s dating coach, helping him win over Diana. But when Joe’s romantic endeavors go off-script—and worse, he starts falling for Esi instead—they both face a crucial question: Is the future set in stone, or can we pen our own fates?

Goodreads review by Andrew on April 24, 2025

I’m something of a time travel novel addict. I think it’s the fact that literally anything is possible.

And sometimes both of these occur in the sa......more

A time travel and love triangle romance for fans of Ashley Poston and Christina Lauren, with two 21 year old students in Cambridge, England — one from 2044 and the other from 2005.

Goodreads review by Rae on December 26, 2024

This is by far the most unique book I've read this year in all the best ways imaginable. Joe and Esi's story from beginning to end had me hooked. Joe, a student at Cambridge, struggles to find his potential in a sea of people who seem to have it all figured out. Insert Esi, a woman who time travels......more

3.5/5 Very cute time travel love triangle romance from Catriona Silvey, author of Meet Me in Another Life.

But, despite the fact that most of the plot beats could probably be gu......more
