Reach for this book when your teenager is grappling with the bittersweet nature of temporary connections or the specific ache of a long distance romance. It is an ideal choice for a child who feels like they do not quite fit into their current environment and dreams of a broader world. The story follows Anna, a high schooler in 1995, and Bennett, a time traveler from 2012, as they navigate a relationship defined by impossible physical and temporal barriers. While the time travel elements provide a sense of adventure, the heart of the book is a grounded exploration of the ethics of choice and the necessity of living in the present. It addresses the heavy emotional weight of saying goodbye and the responsibility we have toward those we love. The romance is sweet and age appropriate for the 12 to 18 range, focusing on emotional intimacy and the shared discovery of new places. It offers a gentle way to discuss the reality that some relationships, though life changing, are not meant to last forever.
