I love the idea of a telephone that would let a person talk to someone in the past. That’s what initially drew me to the book. So I was disappointed that the telephone wasn’t a larger part of the story. However, this is an excellent coming-of-age tale.
Throughout the book, Megan experiences some real emotional growth as she tackles some tough issues. She has the support of her grandmother and some friends from school, and it’s great to see how all the relationships also grow as the story progresses. The teen characters are particularly well portrayed, with the mix of depth and uncertainty that can characterize that age.
The story covers a variety of emotions and, especially near the beginning, does an amazing job of capturing the conflicting, and often simultaneous, emotions of grieving. I loved how Megan frequently expressed her thoughts and feelings in her poems.
Overall, this is a compelling story. It’s just, unfortunately, much lighter on the time-travel aspect than the blurb implies. The book is well suited to a YA audience, as well as anyone who enjoys a good coming-of-age story.
