I received this book for free from Publisher in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

Delaney Carmichael's final year of boarding school at Ivernia is not off to a great start. Losing her father has left her feeling completely unmoored—both emotionally and in terms of what she wants to do with her future. So when Delaney discovers that Ivernia—the one stable place in her life—is on the brink of shuttering its doors, it feels like the last straw. If life is measured in what she has to lose, then does anything matter?

Desperate for a solution, Delaney makes a wish—for a way to save Ivernia. The universe's response? Enter Lord William Cromwell of Dunbry, a tall, handsome, and woefully out-of-place-boy from nineteenth-century London. At first, Delaney thinks this charming English heartthrob might somehow be the answer to her problems, but when disastrous consequences begin to unfold at an alarming rate, she realizes that if she can't return William to where and when he belongs, the present could unravel completely. Much to Delaney's dismay, the only person capable of helping her is her brother's infuriating best friend, Sumner, a boy who seems dead-set on getting under her skin. With time quickly running out, can the two set things straight before the past begins messing with the present in irreversible ways?

Short and Sweet Review

It’s Delaney’s final year at her boarding school Ivernia and it’s not off to a great start, her father recently passed and she doesn’t know what she wants to do with her future, to make matters worse Ivernia might be closing its doors. Delaney makes a wish hoping to save the school and what the universe delivers is Lord William Cromwell of Dunbry, handsome, tall, smart, and very out of place considering he belongs in the 19th century. Delaney knows William can somehow solve her problems but she doesn’t know how, strange things begin to take place and Delaney turns to Sumner a boy who gets under her skin for help.

This was a cute book we have time traveling and we have a main character dealing with grief. Delaney is our main character and she recently lost her father and when he was alive she felt like she knew what she was doing but now that he’s gone she’s beginning to question what’s next. Ivernia is a stable place for Delaney so when she finds out it might close its like her world is falling apart. When Delaney makes her wish I’m sure she wasn’t expecting a Lord from the 19th century to make her acquaintance but that’s what she gets. At first she thinks he’s a student but she quickly finds out he’s not and this is all a result of her wish. We also have Sumner who is Delaney’s brother’s best friend I wouldn’t say they don’t like each other but they do have a rivalry type of relationship. We learn that Sumner is also dealing with some things concerning his home life and in someways him and Delaney spending more time together help them both face the things they’ve been avoiding. We all know that time travel can be tricky and that’s no different in this book, the longer William stays in this time period the more the present time begins to change. Delaney knows she can’t fix this on her own so she asks Sumner to help and we also get another student who was interested in helping. I think my favorite thing about this book was seeing our characters overcome the things they thought would be the hardest to face, I also liked seeing William begin to get acclimated to the future.

Overall, this was a cute book and one I enjoyed reading. Delaney is a character that we get to watch grow and really learn who she is, and even though it might seem unlikely William was a great help. I would recommend this book if you’re in the mood for some time traveling and some much needed healing, also that epilogue was heart warming.
