I would have enjoyed the book more if the language had not been offensive. The author was over used the F word. Too many F words coming out of the female heroine. She also referred to her private areas using the C word. I don't think a normal woman would use the C word to describe her innermost parts. Maybe a man in the company of other men but not women. I also had problems with the 41 year old Henry having carnal knowledge of the barely turned 18 year old Claire. There are other aspects of the book I did not like but that would be spoiling it for those who would like to read the book. I have always like watching movies and television dealing with time travel. That aspect of the book was enjoyable and the author did have a poetic flow to her writing. It was enjoyable to read when you didn't have to read the vulgar dialogue. For this reason I won't be recommending this book to anyone. This book is supposed to released in a movie at Christmas. I may or may not see it depending on rating.
