His past. Her future. Can love bring them together in time? Abby's senior year of high school is going according to plan: good friends, cute boyfriend, and college applications in the mail. But when Dante Alexander, foreign-exchange student from Italy, steps into her life, he turns it upside down. He's mysterious, and interesting, and unlike anyone she's ever met before. Abby can't deny the growing attraction she feels for him. Nor can she deny the unusual things that seem to happen when Dante is around. Soon Abby finds herself drawn into a mystery whose roots reach into sixteenth-century Florence, and she uncovers a dangerous truth that threatens not only her future but the lives of those she loves.

Time travel isn't something that I really have thought about much, and kinda snubbed before this book. I am a huge music lover, so adding music, romance (great romance), and Italians!!! (yummy!), just makes it for me. Lisa's analogy of time was fantastic. She kept the plot moving, so it was hard...

Dear Dante,That explanatory letter you wrote didn't explain crap. Come back here so I can give you a good smack upside the head.Sincerely, moi.
