Just like in the first book, this story continues to charm the reader with the sweet, somewhat poignant relationship between two people from different timelines. The essence remains, and there seemed to be something repetitive about the plot and the conflict between the relationship. What fascinated me was the universal theme of wondering if things were meant to go one way or another, and if we have any right in changing our past so as to shape our future. A profound concept in a somewhat simple love story that would win the reader over.

This sequel to TIME BETWEEN US was completely satisfying! Told from Bennett's perspective, TIME AFTER TIME deals with his struggles to control his gift and reconcile himself to a world with Anna--and without her. The first quarter might be construed as a little slow b/c not a lot happens to throw Bennett until around half way through, but Stone is such a great storyteller and crafter of romance, that I enjoyed all of it just because I loved the way Anna and Bennett are together. It's very natural and Stone does a great job of creating interest without that soul-crushing doubt about their feelings for each other. Of course, the reader is always wondering how things can possibly work out, so that alone keeps the pages turning. Anna and Bennett are one of my favorite literary couples out there in YA!

Tamara has this really amazing habit of making me fall in love and cry within a short space of time. This was my third Tamara book and oh my goodness, I’m convinced she can do no wrong.

Time After Time is such a beautiful story about two kids in love in different times and it just broke my heart, made me laugh, made me cry and everything in between. I love Anna and Bennett so much and I just needed them to be together and be happy.

I am definitely a more character driven person, if I’m going to love a book, I really need characters that I can route for and this book/series definitely provided them!

I honestly just can’t wait to read the other of Tamaras books and see what she comes out with in the future!

Not much happening... like most sequels, it didn’t have much to offer in terms of content. Will I continue to travel thru time = extra hard long-distance relationship... yes? No? I don’t know anymore.

OKAY, SO UMM...
I still don't know what I think about this book, it executed Anna and Bennetts story really well. Though, I feel that a lot of the scenes were unnecessary and didn't do much for the plot. The ending still left some things in the mist, but I think that it was intentional as it allowed me to fill in the blanks. I would prefer a third installment, that focuses on this relationship in the future. However it was a solid ending that was way better than the first book.

I enjoyed this a lot. I wish I had known it was a sequel before I requested it on NetGalley because it was quite apparent that I was missing some information. I was able to figure most of it out and I did like it. I have seen it compared to Time Traveler's Wife (which is a fav)and I can see that. I probably need to go back and read the first one now.

Well, I didn't really think the first book needed a sequel, but this worked. Once again the star-crossed lovers are together but not really. New arguments ensue as they try to stay together despite a serious age gap. I still can't quite work out why he doesn't just suck it and get with her in real time. I mean, she's alive and everything. So what if there's an actual age gap. He could even two-time with her, so she doesn't have to spend ages without him. Anyway, this time it's from his perspective and the intricacies of his powers are still a little sketchy, but since he doesn't know, nor do we. It does, at least, seem sort of consistent. Usually. I still don't agree with his reason for the nosebleeds. I also guessed the truth of the future-shock as soon as he went there, and shook my head at him exasperatedly all the time. It's not a happy story, by any means, but love is love, and as long as that's true they will keep trying to make it work.

Mejoró pero el final fue demasiado vago y no terminaste de entenderlo
