A Different Time by Michael K. Hill

How I Came Across This Book

As many of you (those who follow me on Twitter) know that I am part of the gang over at TheWriteReads. As part of the gang, I was on the blog tour of this book!

Intrigue?

I hopped over to goodreads to read the synopsis of A Different Time and I needed to know this story!

And here is what it says.

Keith Nolan falls in love with a remarkable young woman from the past, talking to him on a home video she recorded in 1989. To keep their conversation going, he must find more of her tapes—while forces work against them both, and time is running out.

After having read so many reviews by my fellow book bloggers, today is my stop for the same.

Rating and Review

The first thing to capture me regarding this book was the synopsis over at Goodreads. I am done with it, my review (on the blog) is scheduled for the 19th of September (do check it out then). I can, however, say that I enjoyed the book. It sort of makes you want to believe in magic all over again. QOTD: 𝗗𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗰?

Since the moment the story found it’s groove, I could not wait to know what happened next. That was the moment that found me engrossed in the lives of the protagonists. I was cheering for them. Rooting for them to somehow make it all work because the dynamics were so that anything could have been possible.

It was a time travel book with no time travel at all – go figure!

Without giving any spoilers. let me just say that it was not the ending that I wanted but it still made the journey worthwhile.

The simplistic narrative of Michael Hill enhanced the reading pleasure with its clarity and straightforwardness.

In my opinion, following are the weak points of the story;
