Claudia Stedmond claudiastedmond — four stars in spite of some terrible sections on logic.

Plastic Studio _lastic_tudio — Jonah Sellers is stuck inside his house, a prisoner thanks to a broken leg. To add insult to injury, Jonah was hurt tripping over his ex-boyfriend's stuff while the man moved out of their apartment. Due to his serious lack of mobility, Jonah’s sister Stephanie has been stopping by frequently to bring him groceries and check in on him. When his sister goes on vacation with her family, she hires a nurse to look in on Jonah while she’s away. The last person Jonah expected is Liam Brooks, who is young and gorgeous and peaks Jonah's interest immediately. Jonah’s sentence of being trapped in his house gets quite a bit more exciting when he sees a man, a very attractive man, undressing in the window of the apartment across from his. But just as quickly as the man appears, he disappears. When the man appears in the window again, in exactly the same clothes and a mirror of his previous movements, Jonah knows something odd is going on. With ghost enthusiast Liam’s help, they start to investigate the man in the window, which leads them to a fifty-year old unsolved disappearance. Windows in Time is a phenomenal book and once I started reading I couldn’t put it down for even a minute. I was completely engrossed in the lives of the characters from the very first page and was constantly wondering what would happen next. The writing is smooth and easy to read, and I practically flew through the book. There is romance and mystery mixed together and the story is emotional and gripping from beginning to end. As the title suggests, the story is based on windows in time, and it is based on two sets of characters separated by fifty years. Their stories of meeting and falling in love are interwoven together, with constant parallels between the couples and chapters alternating between 2007 and 1957. 2007 is the story of Jonah and Liam, while 1957 focuses on newspaper reporter Buck Addison in a time when being gay was decidedly not openly discussed. As a social reporter, Buck spent a lot of time with Hollywood stars, a group where a preference for the same-sex was more common and accepted. When Buck sees a woman in a red dress he is slightly shocked at the intense attraction he feels for her, until he finds out that Minna is actually Oliver Caldwell. Buck’s attraction only intensifies and the two quickly become inseparable, although they have to be careful not to raise the suspicions of others who might deduce that Minna and Oliver are the same person. The two men are deeply in love until they disappear suddenly, and no one since has been able to solve the mystery of what happen to Buck, Oliver, or Minna. My favorite lines in the book are written by Buck as he reflects on his relationship with Oliver. ”Maybe, fifty years in the future, someone will care more about the fact that we were in love than the face that we are both men. Maybe someone will care that Oliver is a clever, intelligent, caring man and not that he likes to wear dresses on occasion.” This story is very much inspired by Hitchcock's Rear Window, and reading it actually made me a bit anxious to watch the movie again. I first discovered Aedin through her short stories, and when I heard she was releasing a novel I was anxious to read it, hoping that the exceptional quality of the shorts would translate into a longer tale. In no way was I disappointed, and I’m happy to say that this stands up to, and even bypasses, the high quality of the shorter stories. I very highly recommend this story for anyone who enjoys romantic stories filled with well-developed characters and a beautifully engaging story. I am definitely looking forward to more from Aedin!

Resbon Despi resbondespi — Good, but not with the "unknown" of the first book. Edward's character needed to be present more. Great lead in to next book.

Christina Poltorak christina_poltorak — This book had a sweet message. I liked how the story captured a short moment in time and illustrated friendship and learning. The illustrations were nice as well, I'm fond of Jon J. Muth's watercolors. I'd probably recommend. *Taken from my book reviews blog: http://reviewsatmse.blogspot.com/2009...
