The details about studying abroad in London are what makes this really worth reading. Haven't we all suspected elevators can do that? It's interesting to see two people who know what the future brings trying to navigate the world with that knowledge in mind, and they both have slightly different visions for what 2017 should become. and not for the better.Īs with any time travel book, the time travel mechanism is important, and I did like the omnipresent barista who ended up overseeing Shane's life, and the elevator that takes Shane and Pilot back in time. Shane gets a chance to reboot her life and make different choices, but it's hard to tell when one seemingly small change might change everything.

She and Pilot decide they should be together, since Shane is tired of Amy in 2017, but their relationship causes other wrinkle, like messing up her writing internship. Shane has the chance to do everything all over again. She meets up with Pilot, and the two get stuck in an elevator.

We catch up with her in 2017, when she has finished medical school and is ready for her residency, but still regrets the past. Her father refuses to spend big bucks so that she can be an unemployed writer, and makes her return home immediately. However, when her parents visit unexpectedly and her cover is blown, they are furious.

Still, there's lots to do, and pubs to visit, and Shane knows that she has made a good choice. The travel, hanging out, and romance all tick along, although there is a wrinkle when she finds out that her crush, Pilot, already has a girlfriend. Her internship at Packed! For Travel! starts off brilliantly with her boss being impressed with her blog and giving her an article to write. She makes good friends with her roommates, meets cute boys, and heads off to Rome for a weekend right away. It's a huge improvement over her old, never-been-kissed life. She applies to a study abroad program in London, lies to her parents about having a medical internship, and heads off for adventure. Stuck in a premed major her parents have forced upon her, she has no social life and is unable to follow her real passion, writing. Shane is halfway through her junior year in college in 2011, and she's not happy.
