 CONTAINS SPOILERS


Still mourning the loss of her beloved grandmother and shaken by her mysterious, dying request to “find the baby,” Abbi has just arrived at UW Madison for her freshman year. But on her second day, she wakes up to a different world: 1983. That is just the first stop on Abbi’s journey backward through time.



Will is a charming college freshman from 1927 who travels forward through time. When Abbi and Will meet in the middle, love adds another complication to their lives. Communicating across time through a buried time capsule, they try to decode the mystery of their travel, find the lost baby, and plead with their champion, a kindly physics professor, to help them find each other again ... even though the professor gets younger each time Abbi meets him. 




 




Magical, Mysterious.



I have always been a huge fan of time travel stories. There is always something exciting and mysterious about time travel and keeps you on the edge of your seat. When I came across WAKING IN TIME while at the library, the title captured my attention, and once I found that it was about time travel, I knew that I had to check it out. I am glad that I did! There wasn’t a single page where I wasn’t on edge of my seat, there was quite few mysterious and each page and chapter will have you wondering what was going to happen next. Plus the twists, that even I didn’t see coming. I have read few books about time travel through the years, WAKING IN TIME has became one of my favorites, it was different from the others, mostly of how both Abbi and Will traveled. I wondered about the title and once Abbi started time traveling, it all made sense. It did seem that anytime that she would fall asleep, she would wake up in a different time. I can’t imagine going through something like that, and not knowing why it was happening and where might end up next.



I did think that it was amazing that Abbi ended up with her grandmother, Sharon for while. For all roommates that she had, she was my favorite. Sharon seemed, the type of roommate and a friend that I would loved to have. She was outgoing and just brightened up the room and everyone around her. I was heartbroken for Abbi when she woke up and Sharon was gone, she probably felt as she just lost her grandmother all over again. I am glad that she had Professor Smith, and how he tried to help her, both her and Will and figure out why it was happening to them. Besides Abbi and Will, he was my favorite character in the book. I loved the bond that he had with Abbi, no matter what year he seemed to come across Abbi. I am glad that Abbi at least had one friend that knew what was going on, that she was a time traveler.



Will and Abbi, I couldn’t get enough of two of them. They were adorable together, and it was clear how much in love they were. One good thing did come out of fact that they time traveled, they met each other. I loved the two of them together, and fact they figured out how they can stay with one another, without time traveling. I feel as the two of them were meant to meet. I did hope that if Abbi managed to end up in her current time, that she would come across Will again. Once I found out that Will happened to be Colton’s roommate, I couldn’t stop smiling. I hoped that now the two of them could be with each other. I was also happy to find out that Professor Smith was alive. WAKING IN TIME was a cute story that was filled with suspense and twists. Once you start reading it, you will find yourself turning pages for hours, unable to put it down. WAKING IN TIME is a 2nd book that I read by ANGIE STANTON and it won’t be the last.



Outstanding.
