SIDELIGHTS
Angie Stanton “put her talent to use,” stated the contributor of a biographical blurb to the author’s home page, the Angie Stanton Website, “writing contemporary fiction about life, love, and the adventures that follow.” Most of her novels feature teenage protagonists; her “Jamieson Brothers” series, for instance, centers on the lives and loves of a boy band whose three members happen to be siblings.
Rock and a Hard Place and Snapshot
In the first volume of the “Jamieson Brothers” series, Rock and a Hard Place, lead singer Peter is having a hard time dealing with the group’s fame. At the same time teenager Libby has just lost her mother and sister in a car accident and has been sent into exile in the northern woods to live with her aunt. “When Peter meets 16-year-old Libby in a remote Wisconsin glen,” said Ann Kelley in Booklist, “he becomes her reason for living.” For Peter, Libby represents someone who is unimpressed with his reputation—and a chance to get away from the parents and older brother who dictate his life for the benefit of the band. The growing relationship between the young couple is further tested when Libby is removed from her aunt’s custody and placed in a group home. “Tenderly revealing and beautifully written,” assessed C.J. Bott in Voice of Youth Advocates, “the story will involve and surprise the reader.”
The second volume, Snapshot, takes guitarist brother Adam to a photography camp in northern Wisconsin where he meets Marti Hunter. “Marti is herself the daughter of a famous rock guitarist from the band Graphite Angels. But her dad is an irresponsible louche and her mother is an addict,” explained a reviewer for Rhapsody in Books. “She lives with her grandma. At the camp, all the kids attending become Insta-BFFs. Some even pair up. Marti and AJ are attracted to one another until Marti finds out that AJ is really Adam.”
Under the Spotlight and Royally Lost
Under the Spotlight follows controlling older brother Garrett Jamieson and his efforts to convince eighteen-year-old singing sensation Riley to record for him. But Riley—with bad memories of an aggressive stage mother and an emotional breakdown behind her—refuses to cooperate with Garrett’s plan. “Garrett is determined to get her to sing,” said Jane Van Wiemokly in Voice of Youth Advocates, “and uses any stratagem to change her mind. Along the way, they fall for each other.” “This volume,” stated Heather Booth in Booklist, “promises … high drama, passion, and [a] happy ending.” “Girls looking for romance and light realistic fiction,” wrote Adrienne L. Strock in School Library Journal, “will show the most interest in these titles.”
In Royally Lost, Stanton pens a romance reminiscent of classic stories like the movie Roman Holiday or operettas like The Student Prince. Becca is a young American who has been dragged on a European tour by her father and her stepmother in hopes that the shared experience will bring them all closer together. For her part, however, Becca remains unimpressed—bored and homesick. “Becca is a teenage girl–cocky and humorous but at times very uncandid,” declared a Feels Society reviewer. “Only later does she finally sprout a backbone and become outspoken. Through the book though you can tell she’s growing into her own person.” However, “things take an exciting turn,” wrote Etta Anton in School Library Journal, “when she meets Nikolai, crown prince of Mondovia and heir to the throne.” “Nikolai is SUCH a charmer! He has family problems (the reason for the journey in the first place) and has his life and future in the hands of someone else,” gushed the Feels Society reviewer. “When Nikolai and Becca meet, it’s their differences that draw them together,” said a contributor to Xpresso Reads. “Sparks fly as they share a whirlwind of adventures, all the while dodging his royal guard. But Becca’s family vacation ends in a matter of days. Will Nikolai and Becca be forced to say goodbye forever, will his destiny catch up to him, or will they change history forever?” “Reading Royally Lost just sent me back to visiting Europe, touring the ancient castles, seeing huge clock towers and lumbering cathedrals,” stated the Feels Society reviewer. “The setting was beautiful. It was nice to get a taste of several places in Europe even if … only through a book.”
Waking in Time
Stanton’s Waking in Time evokes classic films—in this case, The Time Traveler’s Wife or the Christopher Reeve-Jane Seymour vehicle Somewhere in Time. In Waking in Time, “18-year-old Abbi,” wrote a Kirkus Reviews contributor, “takes comfort in the fact that she is starting her freshman year at the University of Wisconsin in Madison.” Abbi is just recovering from the loss of her grandmother, whose deathbed charge to Abbi was to “find the baby.” On her second day at university, however, Abbi discovers that she has jumped backward in time to 1983. “She’s stunned,” said a Publishers Weekly reviewer, “but then meets Professor W.C. Smith, who knows who she is and where she comes from.” Then she is joined by Will, a fellow student—but Will started his journey in 1927 and is moving forward in time as Abbi moves backward. “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 tutor, to help them find each other again … even though the tutor gets younger each time Abbi meets him,” declared a LoveReading4Kids reviewer. “This page-turning story full of romance, twists and delightful details about uni life.”
Critics found Walking in Time an interesting take on time travel. “When I did research into my own family history I discovered a relative with gaps in her fascinating history, leaving me wondering what really happened to her. When I exhausted all my research without any answers, I realized the only way to find out the truth would be to travel back in time,” wrote Tales of Yesterday website reviewer Chelle Toy. “With no cell phones, comfy shoes, even panty hose, Abbi gets a great lesson in how women lived in the past, including how they were treated,” explained Francine Brokaw in Family Choice Awards. “And Will learns how to adjust to the future. His one constant is the rowing team where he finds solace. Abbi, on the other hand, has no specific activity.” “The romance is believable, the time-travel mechanism is complex,” stated Nora G. Murphy, writing in School Library Journal, “and the ending, while perhaps a little too neatly wrapped up, is still quite satisfying.”

Stanton, Angie WAKING IN TIME Switch/Capstone (Children's Fiction) $17.95 3, 1 ISBN: 978-1-63079-070-7
She's going back in time; he's going forward; they meet in 1961.Still raw from her grandmother's death, 18-year-old
Abbi takes comfort in the fact that she is starting her freshman year at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. It's the
perfect place, one where the white narrator can make a fresh start and stay close to the memory of Grandma, who once
walked the very same halls. But in her wildest dreams, Abbi never could have imagined just how close the two would
be. For reasons she is desperate to understand, Abbi finds herself traveling backward through time, with each new stop
providing clues to a mysterious family secret. To add to the intrigue, Abbi discovers she's not the only time traveler.
Will, a handsome white farm boy from 1927, is on his own journey forward through time, and Abbi gradually realizes
that Will is not only linked to her family's past, but also holds the key to her heart--past, present, and future. Though
this may provide a quick fix for fans of time-travel romance, the novel fails to distinguish itself from the rest of the
pack. While Abbi is a likable-enough protagonist, the story meanders, and the dialogue often feels stilted. However, the
greatest disappointment is that a potentially delicious romance between Abbi and Will fails to gain any traction for the
first two-thirds of the novel. Without sparks to sustain it, the story fizzles. (Science fiction. 14-16)

Waking in Time
Angie Stanton. Switch, $17.95 (360p) ISBN 978-1-63079-070-7
Abbi Thorp is excited to start college at the University of Wisconsin, but she's still carrying the pain of her
grandmother's recent death; Abbi has her grandmother's hatbox with her, which is filled with photos and memories, and
the fact that she is attending her adventurous grandmother's alma mater also brings comfort. However, Abbi is haunted
by some of Grandma's last words (including a request to "find the baby") and a note in the hatbox that expresses hope
that Abbi will find the answers that she never could. When Abbi awakens one morning in the year 1983, she's stunned
but then meets Professor W.C. Smith, who knows who she is and where she comes from. Thrown into a mystery that
may affect her future, Abbi finds a fellow time traveler in the handsome Will. Stanton's (the Jamieson Brothers series)
breezy time-jumping romance doesn't break new ground and the conclusion is overly tidy, but Abbi's interactions with
family members she has never met are charming, and snapshots of college life in different time periods add interest.
Ages 14--up. Agent: Jane Dystel, Dystel, Goderich & Bourret. (Mar.)

It's bad-boy Garret's turn to shine in the third Jamieson Brothers novel, framed by the Chicago music scene. After
struggling her whole life with an unreliable and selfish mother, Riley is building the life she wants behind the scenes in
a recording studio. But when her mother's antics throw her tenuous security into disarray, Riley turns to Garret for help
and has no choice but to use her ample singing talent, after swearing she never would. Riley and Garret are unable to
resist one another, and this volume promises the high drama, passion, and happy ending that readers have come to
expect. --Heather Booth

Five years ago, then thirteen-year-old Riley had a breakdown on stage while competing in a TV singing show and
vowed never to sing again. Her pushy stage mom ripped her confidence to shreds. She now works in an entry-level job
at a recording studio to learn behind the scenes. Garrett Jamieson, the oldest of three brothers, is floundering and
resentful after their band disbands. He decides to learn the recording business from the other end of the microphone.
After seeing an old tape of Riley singing, he immediately decides to produce her record, but Riley does not want to
sing. Influencing her is her fear of rejection and not being good enough, her fiscally abusive and selfish mother, and her
needy siblings. Garrett is determined to get her to sing and uses any stratagem to change her mind. Along the way, they
fall for each other.
This third book of the Jamieson Brothers trilogy has similar themes as the first two: boy meets girl from a different
upbringing, troubled family life, and differing expectations. As with most romance stories, the characters come to
understand and care for each other while navigating personal challenges. Riley keeps helping her dysfunctional family,
to her own detriment, such as cosigning her mother's car loan, which leads to her having to pay it. She is a likeable
character who overcomes her problems by working through her fears. Garrett takes longer, but he too finds himself.
Readers of light romance and the first two books will love this one.--Jane Van Wiemokly.

Since the accident that killed both her mother and her younger sister, and sent her father into a severe depression, Libby,
also deeply depressed, is left with Aunt Marge, an antisocial, angry, cheap, and hate-filled woman. Her only escape is
the nature reserve where, one day, she meets Peter who says be is part of a singing group called Jamieson. Libby thinks
that maybe it is a church group. He and his family picnic in the reserve every couple of weeks. Eventually, they fall in
love, both ignorant of the other's lives. Then, life and an angry brother tear them apart.
Tenderly revealing and beautifully written, the story will involve and surprise the reader. Libby, truly the main
character, is a strong, resilient female who surprises even herself as she overcomes her depression, homelessness,
pennilessness, and feelings of abandonment. But when Peter finally offers to keep her safe and with him and his family,
Libby realizes she can now make a life for herself. This is a great read.--CJ Bott.

Rock and a Hard Place. By Angie Stanton. Oct. 2013.304p. Harper, paper, $9.99 (9780062272546). Gr. 7-10.
Rock stars aren't known for their wholesome ways, but Peter Jamieson, one third of the mega boy band The Jamieson
Brothers, is, seemingly, the perfect guy. When Peter meets 16-year-old Libby in a remote Wisconsin glen, he becomes
her reason for living. Libby, who lost her mother and younger sister in a car accident, was dropped off by her grieving
father to live with her aunt, a nasty piece of work. Peter is drawn to Libby because she likes him for him; Libby,
meanwhile, feels as if she has found someone to lean on and trust. But their lives are obviously on different paths, and
when events spiral out of control for Libby, Peter may just lose her forever. This (highly) unlikely story of the love
between an everyday girl and a pop star is full of Cinderella-style romance. Girls who swoon for boy bands (like that
other all-boy band beginning with J) and romantic gestures will find themselves thoroughly entertained. An open
ending promises another chapter of the Peter-Libby love story. Also check out Snapshot (2013), a companion novel
featuring Peter's brother.--Ann Kelley

$17.95. ISBN 9781630790707.
Gr 9 Up--Stanton delivers a delightful time-travel romance in this tale of Abbi and Will, two Midwestern college
students hurtling through the 20th century in opposite directions. The novel begins with Abbi's first night of college in
Madison, WI, during which she's transported from the present to 1983 in the first of many jumps that will eventually
take her all the way to 1930. Along the way, she gets a glimpse of Madison in multiple decades, taking readers on a tour
of 20th-century youth culture: fashion, music, manners, dating rituals, and women's rights all play a role in the
storytelling. Abbi's observations of the university campus reflect changes in the physical and cultural landscapes. As
with all good time-travel stories, recurring characters provide essential clues. Here, they are a professor who has been
working on Abbi's case since long before she initiated her travel, and a boy, Will, whom she meets for the first time
after he's already loved her for decades. The entire adventure centers on the mystery of Abbi's grandmother's life in
Madison as a young woman and her dying request that Abbi "find the baby." Tumbling through time on opposite
trajectories, Abbi and Will somehow manage to work together to solve a mystery and discover the truth about Abbi's
family history. The romance is believable, the time-travel mechanism is complex, and the ending, while perhaps a little
too neatly wrapped up, is still quite satisfying. VERDICT This well-constructed narrative reads like Audrey
Niffenegger's The Time Traveler's Wife for a teen audience. Recommended for all YA collections.--Nora G. Murphy,

Gr 9 Up--Becca is not looking forward to a boring riverboat cruise through Europe with her family, but things take an
exciting turn when she meets Nikolai, crown prince of Mondovia and heir to the throne. No more than a day or two
elapses before Becca and Nikolai fall in love, and though Nikolai poses as a commoner, it does not take very long
before the press catches up with him. The idea of a handsome prince gone AWOL from his kingdom will appeal to
many readers, but those seeking a more credible portrait of a European royal may be disappointed to discover that this
prince uses far too many American expressions and is a bit too picture-perfect. Becca, repeatedly gushing that she "can't
believe" she is "dating a real prince" seems far more like a lovesick high school groupie than a young woman closer to
adulthood. Snapshots of notable European landmarks are mentioned briefly and add little to the plot, though the main
protagonists spend a great deal of time traveling on and off a riverboat. The predictable plot should appeal primarily to
teens content with Harlequin novelettes and Walt Disney-style romances. Though Royally Lost is not a lost cause,
meatier royal fare can be found in Meg Cabot's The Princess Diaries (HarperCollins, 2000) or Scholastic's "Royal
Diaries" series.--Etta Anton, Yeshiva of Central Queens, NY

Gr 9 Up--These titles follow the lives of teen heartthrobs in a family rock band. In Rock and a Hard Place, Peter, the
lead singer, falls for Libby, a girl he meets at a nature preserve. Their relationship evolves, but tragic circumstances put
Libby in a group home and the couple must find a way to stay together. In Snapshot, Adam, the guitarist, meets Marti at
photography camp. They must face the death of Marti's grandmother, a pregnancy scare, and a few near-death injuries.
Both books are told in alternating points of view between the two main characters. There are many similarities in plot
and female characterization between the two books: both girls are creative, artsy blondes who come from strikingly
different backgrounds than the charmed rock stars. Both girls also deal with troubling home lives, complete with absent
or unfit parents. The eldest Jamieson attempts to spoil each younger brother's relationship for the sake of the band, and
each boy storms off, only to eventually get what he wants. Girls looking for romance and light realistic fiction will
show the most interest in these titles.--Adrienne L. Strock, Chicago Public Library

Dragged on a family trip to Europe’s ancient cities, Becca wants nothing more than to go home. Trapped with her emotionally distant father, over-eager stepmother, and a brother who only wants to hook up with European hotties, Becca is miserable. That is until she meets Nikolai, a guy as mysterious as he is handsome. And she unknowingly finds herself with a runaway prince.
Nikolai has everything a guy could ask for-he's crown prince, heir to the throne, and girls adore him. But the one thing he doesn't have...is freedom. Staging a coup, he flees his kingdom and goes undercover on his own European tour.
When Nikolai and Becca meet, it’s their differences that draw them together. Sparks fly as they share a whirlwind of adventures, all the while dodging his royal guard. But Becca's family vacation ends in a matter of days. Will Nikolai and Becca be forced to say goodbye forever, will his destiny catch up to him, or will they change history forever?
-A copy was provided by HarperCollins for review-
Well so freaking adorable! While perusing reviews it seems like more than a few of my friends disliked this one, and I admit that it’s not perfect by any means so I get it, but it’s exactly the kind of fluffy fairy-tale-esque read I was in the mood for on a rainy weekend. It’s the type of romantic adventure that is both idealistic and exotic; perfect for fans of Jennifer E. Smith.
What I didn’t like:
-Insta-love ruined some of its charm for me. It was unnecessary and did more harm than good on how I felt about the book. There was not even a built-up to it, suddenly they were just declaring their love. Well okay then!
-These kids are both 18 years old – legal adults – yet both are still being ordered by their parents as if they were 14. No kidding, the prince got hunted down by his parents’ security team, taken back home by force and grounded. Do adults with parents have no freedom rights in this fictional country? Although, Becca who’s American was also dealing with needing permission from her father (her AND her older brother of at least 19 years) and eventually got grounded as well, so this made no sense to me.
-Nikolai sounded very American to me. I didn’t feel he was written very European-like, in terms of dialogue especially.
-Becca’s hate towards this trip was a bit much at times. It could have been toned down while still communicating the fact that this ruse of being this perfect family was a drag. I didn’t see it as her hating Europe like some, though, just that she hated being stuck under her father and stepmother’s heels. But still.
What I did like:
-The atmosphere is fun, light, and I found details on European history quite compelling – which is saying something coming from a not-a-history-buff-at-all person like myself. With that said I can’t say how accurate all the details are, but it really brought the setting to life.
-Aside from the insta-love aspect, the romance is adorable and yes, cliché at times, but fluffy in a way that made me smile. Like reading a too-good-to-be-true-but-fun-nonetheless fairy-tale. Also, I’m the type who finds themselves fascinated by celebrity lifestyles and what it means to be in the public eye every second of your life, and him being a Prince trying to hide-out gave it that extra zing.
-The growth in Becca’s character. Being in a foreign country and having been through a very… interesting vacation, she seemed to really find herself. She ends up figuring out what she really wants in life. She also doesn’t let heartbreak turn her into a mess, but rather uses it to drive her forward and I found that wonderful.
-The HEA ending, because sometimes we just need them.
So this may not be a perfect novel where everything is to be praised, and the characters are depicted more for the purpose of the book than anything, but it’s one of those fun beach reads that pauses life for a few hours in a fool’s paradise.

*BOOK REVIEW* Royally Lost by Angie Stanton
So it's about time to start another book review. For all you contemporary gurus who love a funny, lighthearted romance set in Europe then check out this new novel by Angie Stanton... Royally Lost!
18530135
{Title: Royally Lost}
{Author: Angie Stanton}
{Total Pages: 336}
{Date Published: May 6th 2014}
{Publisher: Harper Collins}
Royally Lost is about two teens, one a prince of a foreign country and another just an ordinary girl, running away together and exploring the European countries and avoiding at least some of the countries' most significant and boring cathedrals. Let not forget about all the fun in ditching the paparazzi who's been on the royal prince's tale since day one, oh and let not forget about screwing with the Royal Guard!
So this is how this review will go so you can get the most of it and grasp my thoughts on this book clearly. I will base this review on 6 things. They are: Dialogue, Cover, Storyline's Compatibility with its Summary, Characters, How Logical Scenes and Settings are, and finally, the Pace.
So now to begin!
{Dialogue}
Alright so this one is going to be hard. It honestly was one serious, never-ending roller coaster. The dialogue started off rather slow with cheesy lines from everyone. After maybe the fourth or fifth chapter though the cheesy sentences and weird dialogue evened out. Maybe the author was just trying to make the awkwardness between Becca and her Dad (and stepmother) more realistic but still... some of it was unnecessary. After a good and believable dialogue, though some of the cheesiness and childish remarks returned, this time though they made more sense in the situation.
Finally the dialogue became easy and enjoyable to me, though sometimes being close to the age of the protagonist I had to sit back and just go, "this is not how a 17-18 year old should be sounding."
It sounds childish. It was like a whole bumper car scenario, you'd have sentences that just oozed cheese with "I can't believe this is our last day. I don't want this to end" and "I can't imagine tomorrow without you. I never new I could fall for someone so fast." Then on the other hand you had wonderfully developed thoughts and dialogue. So to wrap it up. Dialogue was uneven.
So for dialogue Royally Lost receives 3/5 stars.
{Cover}
This is probably one of the categories I was most excited to write about. The cover is just magnificent! If your drawn in by cute, girly, covers then heck to the yeah you should pick this book up! This cover is very appealing to the eye and I find that many YA, teen contemporary, light-hearted romances are trying to accomplish that very true-to-life, cute and lovable theme for their covers.
Royally Lost proves this to be true and receives a 5/5 for Cover.
{Storyline's Compatibility with its Summary}
All righty, here is the summary for Royally Lost!
Dragged on a family trip to Europe’s ancient cities, Becca wants nothing more than to go home. Trapped with her emotionally distant father, over-eager stepmother, and a brother who only wants to hook up with European hotties, Becca is miserable. That is until she meets Nikolai, a guy as mysterious as he is handsome. And she unknowingly finds herself with a runaway prince.
Nikolai has everything a guy could ask for-he's crown prince, heir to the throne, and girls adore him. But the one thing he doesn't have...is freedom. Staging a coup, he flees his kingdom and goes undercover on his own European tour.
When Nikolai and Becca meet, it’s their differences that draw them together. Sparks fly as they share a whirlwind of adventures, all the while dodging his royal guard. But Becca's family vacation ends in a matter of days. Will Nikolai and Becca be forced to say goodbye forever, will his destiny catch up to him, or will they change history forever?
Now in just a few short words, this story completely mirrored what the summary suggested.
I've found books where the summary doesn't add up and the story is just a tad off kilter. I hate that. It's like being lied to. It's like this... when you order a cheese burger plain you expect to get a PLAIN cheeseburger. Instead you get lettuce, tomato, onions, mustard, ketchup and your sitting there going...
Not cool brother. Not cool. But, thankfully, Royally Lost did not do such a thing!
Royally Lost gets 5/5 for Storyline compatibility.
{Characters}
Characters oh characters! I do believe I'll begin with Becca.
Becca is a teenage girl--cocky and humorous but at times very uncandid. Only later does she finally sprout a backbone and become outspoken. Through the book though you can tell she's growing into her own person and finally is wanting to make some of her own decisions. Dealing with her step mother who just wants to make there patched up family whole and her father who doesn't pay attention to her or her brother, it's hard for her to really explain to them that she doesn't want to go to some stuffy cathedral, she wants to go on a motorbike with Nikolai!
It's quite noticeable that she lacks self-confidence and she is a bit cynical. Just like many teenage girls. Thank you Angie for Realism!
Now for Nikolai! Nikolai is SUCH a charmer! He has family problems (the reason for the journey in the first place) and has his life and future in the hands of someone else. He is tall, blonde, European and totally a sweet-natured character who deserves a lot of credit. Nikolai is very real to me now as he was through the story. I can just imagine walking through Vienna or Prague and having his smiling face and easy nature greet me. That's what readers like authors! Realistic characters!
Royally Lost gets a 5/5 for Characters.
{How Logical Scenes and Settings Are}
Now I've never been on a river cruise but I have been to Europe and based on that fact I can honestly say that the settings described are spot on. The scenery and layout is perfectly captured by Angie. Everything was correct from the cobblestone paths to the outdoor cafes. Reading Royally lost just sent me back to visiting Europe, touring the ancient castles, seeing huge clock towers and lumbering cathedrals I found absolutely boring. So Angie had her vision straight as she wrote this. The setting was beautiful. It was nice to get a taste of several places in Europe even if it being only through a book.
Royally Lost gets a 5/5 for how logical its scenes and settings were.
*Just to explain the need for this category of review, some books in past have had some very unbelievable and unethical settings. Either the genre just didn't add up or common sense just kicked in. So this is just an explanation for why I added this category.
{Pace}
For me pace was just a little too fast. But hey maybe some of you would run off with a random stranger just after meeting him. Who knows he may be a prince. This just seemed like a typical I don't need to know your last name sort of deal to me.
I give Royally Lost a 3/5 for Pace.
Review of “Snapshot: A Jamieson Brothers Novel” by Angie Stanton
Posted on 07/29/2014 by rhapsodyinbooks
This is the story of Marti Hunter, who is attending a small arts camp in Northern Wisconsin for teens to immerse herself in photography. Adam Jamieson is also attending for the same reason. He has cut off his hair and is going by the name “AJ” so no one will know he is the famous rock guitarist in his band of brothers; he just wants to have a normal experience for once.
14759416
Marti is herself the daughter of a famous rock guitarist from the band Graphite Angels. But her dad is an irresponsible louche and her mother is an addict. She lives with her Grandma.
At the camp, all the kids attending become Insta-BFFs. Some even pair up. Marti and AJ are attracted to one another until Marti finds out that AJ is really Adam. Because of her dad, she has a very bad opinion of rocker guitarists.
So they have a love – then hate – then love thing going on, culminating in a first sexual encounter for both of them. But extenuating circumstances cause both Marti and AJ to have to leave camp ahead of schedule, and they wonder if they will ever see each other again (when not wondering if Marti could be pregnant).
Discussion: This is one of several books in a series concerning a boy band and the girls with whom the members get involved. My niece turned 14 in June and she loves these books, so I wanted to read at least one in order to see what was floating her boat. The two main protagonists are 16. They and all their friends are gorgeous, relatively prosperous, and white. They think stilted thoughts and have hackneyed dialogue.
“AJ’s friendly demeanor made her feel like she’d known him forever.”
“The sun kissed his hair with blond highlights, and a bronze tan covered his body.”
“When their lips parted to take a breath, Adam’s eyes turned dark with little flecks of gold passion sparkling in their brown depths.”
Guys who think about their girlfriends or show them consideration are “whipped.”
There is also the usual stereotypical image of the strong yet gentle boy, and the appealingly smaller and protection-needing girl:
“As the sound faded, Marti stayed in AJ’s secure arms a few seconds longer. He had strong arms and a solid chest, as if he could protect a girl from anything.
“He held her gently and she began to cry. … Her tiny body shook as the tears fell.”
Kind of a horrifying image, isn’t it? It is also illustrative of the point I was making in a recent post about the deleterious nature of male-driven notions of eroticism that characterize even books written by women.
As noted above, Adam and Marti, barely out of pre-school (at least from my adult perspective) quickly graduate to having sex. Unprotected even. Holy cow! But they do “learn” from this and vow never to do such a thing again, that is, without taking precautions.
I send my niece Rainbow Rowell. I send her John Green. I send her Maggie Stiefvater. But she prefers these books by Angie Stanton. But you know what, I get it. When I was that age, there was nothing that filled my head more than dreams of meeting up with the latest rock star and having him discover out of all the people in the universe, **I** was his dream girl. Weird. Must be genetic. (However, I did not include sex in my fantasies. I didn’t even know about such a thing! These kids today!)
Evaluation: The idea of a romance with a member of a boy band will be very appealing to at least some tween readers.
Rating: 3/5
Note: This is number two in the series, but it reads like a standalone.

‘Waking in Time’ by Angie Stanton – Book Review
Category: Books and Music
waking
“Waking in Time” is technically listed as a Young Adult novel, however it is a fun read for any age. It’s filled with plenty of humor, romance, and history.
When Abbi arrives at her grandmother’s Alma Mater, University of Wisconsin at Madison, she is still in grief. After all, her grandmother died only three weeks earlier. Being on the same campus gives her a small, comforting connection to the grandmother she dearly loved.
The year is now, however when Abbi wakes up the second morning, she is in 1983. What in the world is going on? Is this a freshman hoax? If so, those responsible did a great job changing everything in her life. Yes, everything. The campus is different, her roommate is different, the clothes are different, and life is different. The next day she wakes up even farther back in time.
Abbi meets Will, also a student at UW Madison and discovers he is traveling through time as well. Will started out in 1927 and is traveling forward while Abbi is traveling backward. What do they have in common and are there other time travelers?
As the two forge a friendship based on their mutual dilemma, things in life are different for both of them. Abbi must deal with things she takes for granted now that weren’t invented in 2017 and Will learns a lot about the future. With no cell phones, comfy shoes, even panty hose, Abbi gets a great lesson in how women lived in the past, including how they were treated. And Will learns how to adjust to the future. His one constant is the rowing team where he finds solace. Abbi, on the other hand, has no specific activity to cling to. The only thing driving her is the physics professor who seems to know her from the past and tells her he is working on her situation. This connection adds more insight into her time travels. As the two students travel in time, their relationship with the professor changes. In the past he is a different person than the man she knows from the future, however without his help she might not get back to 2017.
Adding more to the story is the relationship between Abbi and Will. As they cling to each other for support, their feelings for each other grow. What do they have in common that connects them to time traveling and how do they travel? Will and Abbi are both anxious to get back to their own times, but their romance slows down those desires. What is more important – getting home or the love they share?
Stanton writes from the first person, Abbi’s view, as the young woman experiences so much in a short time. Talk about learning history by experiencing it, Abbi does just that. As the author lays out the imagery of the various times, she also takes readers into Abbi’s thoughts. The story is beautifully written. As a matter of fact, it is really a page- turner. Readers will anxiously want to know how the stories of Abbi and Will intertwine and how their fates might change history or the future.
Wonderfully written with a flair that takes readers right into the story, “Waking in Time” is a delightful novel for teens and older readers.
On a personal note, I rarely keep books to re-read in the future, but this is a keeper. I will enjoy it again someday.

The Lovereading4Kids comment
In a Nutshell: Secrets, romance and time travel twists | Still mourning the death of her grandmother, Abbi embarks on a new life when she moves to a college far from home. Knowing this is where Gram had studied goes some way to shortening that distance, though she can’t stop thinking about her dying request for Abbi to “find the baby”, and her efforts to settle-in are thwarted when she wakes up in a room that looks like hers (kind of), except there’s a poster of Thriller-era Michael Jackson on her wall, and blue shag carpet on the floor. And then it hits her… Somehow, she’s travelled back in time.
As Abbi continues to slip backwards, she meets a Professor who’s long studied her “unusual capacity to move through time”, and charming Will, a fellow time traveller who shifts forward. Together they try to untangle the enigma of their predicament, and Gram’s last wish.
The author’s portrayal of US college life through different eras is flecked with fascinating detail about fashion and décor, music and politics, and the twisting plot is packed with tension and romance that keeps those pages turning. ~ Joanne Owen
Author Angie Stanton explains the real life events behind the story and how she came to unearth them: “While working on family genealogy I discovered a family mystery that couldn’t be solved. I realized the only way to learn the truth was to travel back in time. Because that isn’t possible, I wrote this book and came up with my own solution to the mystery. Two of the characters in Waking in Time are based on actual people who took their secrets to their graves more than seventy years ago.

Today I’m sharing the top 5 reasons to read Waking In Time….
Still mourning the loss of her beloved grandmother and shaken by her mysterious, dying request to “find the baby”, Abbi has arrived at uni to start her first year. But on her second day, she wakes up to a different world: 1983. That is just the first stop on Abbi’s journey backwards through time.

Top 5 Reasons To Read Waking In Time
Time Travel – I mean, who doesn’t wonder what it’s like to live in another time. It’s a subject that’s long fascinated me. I’m quick to watch every movie on the topic, and I have a shelf full of time travel books. People are saying Waking in Time is a Time Traveler’s Wife for YA – which is so flattering as that’s my favourite book!
Love Story – I wanted to create a love story that I would believe in, that readers would fall in love with, and, as a writer, you’re always looking for tension or obstacles which stop your couple getting together, so that, ultimately they can overcome those obstacles and it’s happy ever after.
Secrets – There’s so many secrets! When you have one character from present day travelling back in time, and another from the past who only travels forward, there’s so much information they need to keep to themselves in order not to mess with time and put their own futures at risk.
Buried treasure –Imagine discovering that a local legend of buried treasure turns out to be true! It was great fun deciding where to hide it and what items to include in the treasure box that would add more twists and turns to the story. Can you picture communicating over time via a buried time capsule!
True story – the best stories for me, are always based in fact, and when I did research into my own family history I discovered a relative with gaps in her fascinating history, leaving me wondering what really happened to her. When I exhausted all my research without any answers, I realized the only way to find out the truth would be to travel back in time. And that’s how the idea of Waking in Time was born.
