Time travel in romance stories is one of my least favorite tropes. I never like how it changes the power dynamics and and how one of the characters get complete control over the other, reliving the tile period with knowledge about the second person, which they don't even remember sharing. But Reynolds managed to avoid that trap, and the book was instead a sweet, funny and sad story about friendship, found family and all kinds of love.
