(view spoiler)[This was the best book I have read in years. I have two BURNING questions for the author that are driving me a little nuts.
1. After Cassie (who lives out the 10 years in the past) returns to her current time, what becomes of the present Cassie? After all, both the aged Cassie and the younger Cassie know and share common people, like Izzy.
2. Why didn't you tie up how and where Lottie landed after everything? (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Hi Robin - thanks for reading. I am thrilled that you enjoyed the book.
To your BURNING questions!
1. There is ever only one Cassie, but she overlaps with herself in time for that ten years - both of them existing in the same time year period but living separate lives. When the older Cassie, who has lived the ten years, reaches the point where the younger Cassie goes back in time (after Hugo throws her through the door), there is only one Cassie again. The other Cassie is in the past. (There is a period when they are both in NYC - Mr Webber sees the younger Cassie - but the older Cassie keeps to herself and doesn't interfere in the life of her younger self, other than watching the younger Cassie on the day Mr Webber dies.). I am not sure if this helps clear it up - sometimes time travel is easier to explain with a diagram.
2. Maybe that's a story still to be told? (hide spoiler)]

Almost done. And holy crap this is a good book. I haven't read a book I like this much since last year when I discovered Richard Swan's The Justice of Kings. Anyway, I got no question, just wanted to say I'm now following your published works going forward, and really hope for more book-portal books.! "?" for the algorithm.

I finished your book a week ago and I am still amazed at how magical it was. I felt like I was in the book, and I was right along with the characters going through doors to new places and using these magical books with them. I'm not exactly sure how I stumbled upon your book, but I just wanted to let you know that you are a GREAT author, being your first. I hope there will be more to come???
