I already had The Boomerang Effect on my TBR. It sounds great.
ReplyDeleteI've read Timekeeper and it was a lovely sweet story. I will have to check out The Boomerang Effect but YA Contemporary isn't normally my jam.
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a nice week!
I'm waiting on The Boomerang Effect. The character and description from the author tell me this is going to have humor that I will enjoy reading.
ReplyDeleteThe The Boomerang Effect looks really good! Great picks!
ReplyDeleteTimekeeper! I read a great review that Tracy wrote and ever since, I've had my eye on it.
ReplyDeleteI would love to read The Boomerang Effect. You know what they say about good deeds not going unpunished!

Timekeeper is on my tbr for sure. It sounds great!! 😀😀
ReplyDeleteBoth sound good, but I guess I'd prefer Timekeeper because of the stakes.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to read Timekeeper. I love the Victorian era.
