Blurb:
Sienna Crenshaw knows
the rules: 1) no time traveling beyond your natural lifetime, 2) no
screwing with death, and 3) no changing the past. Ever. Sienna doesn’t
love being stuck in the present, but she’s not the type to to break the
rules. That is, she wasn’t the type until her best friend broke every
one of those rules to keep Henry, her twin brother and Sienna’s
ex-boyfriend, alive.
Suddenly, Sienna is caught in an unfamiliar reality. The upside? Henry is still alive. The downside? Sienna’s old life, including the people in it, has been erased. Now, Sienna and Henry must untangle the giant knot in time, or her parents and all the rest of the Travelers, will be lost forever. One problem: the only way to be successful is for Henry to die...

My review:
Sienna
Crenshaw isn't happy about the rules. What fun is it to be a time
traveler if you can't go beyond your natural lifetime or change your own
death? She especially hates the rules because she couldn't change the
fact her boyfriend, Henry died. Yet Sienna's best friend, Joan who is
also Henry's twin sister dares to break all the rules and creates what
she believes to be a better reality with Henry still alive. And this
might be good with Sienna except the fact all her family is gone. Will
Sienna be able to right the timeline even if that means going against
her best friend and losing the love of her life again?
What a wonderful fast-paced and action packed YA read. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was happily surprised by the twists and turns and the complexity of time traveling in this story. Every action echoes over time. It certainly did make me think what I'd do if I were in Sienna's position with my heart pulled in several directions.
Sienna transformed from a typical complaining teen into a brave heroine who must make immensely tough choices. I sympathized with her, and hurt with her when I guessed what she might have to do. I also really liked she wasn't perfect. I can see how she fell for Henry. And oh how I fretted over wondering who he was really helping!
4.5 stars for Travelers. Highly recommended YA time travel romance.
