Critic Reviews
Great
Based on 6 reviews on
In this endearing and engaging love story, a brilliant physicist studying the nature of time embarks on an unforgettable and life-changing journey to prove that those we love are always connected to us--"fans of The Time Traveler's Wife will be blown away" (PopSugar).Sophie Jones is a physics prodigy on track to unlock the secrets of the universe. When she meets Jake Kristopher during their first week at Yale they instantly feel a deep connection, as if they've known each other before. Slowly, their love lures Sophie away from school. When a shocking development forces Sophie into a new reality, she returns to physics to make sense of her world. She grapples with life's big questions, including how to cope with unexpected change and loss. Inspired by her connection with Jake, Sophie throws herself into her studies, determined to prove that true loves belong together. This "captivating, heartfelt, and utterly unique" (Emily Giffin, author of The Lies That Bind) story of lasting connection, time, and intuition, explores the course that perfect love can take between imperfect people and urges us to listen to our hearts rather than our heads.
