Time After Time

A Good Morning America YA Book Club Pick. Two love stories. One hundred years apart. An unforgettable sapphic romance from the screenwriter and coauthor of the #1 New York Times bestselling novel and film Five Feet Apart.

Libby has always been inexplicably drawn to the old Victorian house on Mulberry Lane. So much so that when she sees a For Sale sign go up in the front yard, Libby uses all the money her grandmother left her to pay for college to buy the house instead, determined to fix it up herself-even though she knows her parents will be furious.

Tish, a brash, broke fellow student, doesn't need much to get by. She can fix almost anything, so she makes do by building sets for the theater department and working odd jobs at the nearby salvage yard. Tish passes by the house one day and is mysteriously compelled to knock on the door. Libby offers her a room in exchange for her help with repairing the old house, and as they begin to work together, the two young women quickly find themselves growing closer.

Soon after moving in, Libby discovers a journal written by a young woman, Elizabeth, who lived in the house a century earlier and was deeply in love with her personal maid, Patricia. As Elizabeth's journal entries delve deeper into her secret affair with Patricia-a love that was forbidden and dangerous in their time-Libby can't help but notice uncanny similarities between that young couple and Tish and herself.

Have she and Tish lived this life before? And is this their chance to get it right?
