Extended description

Lizzie Davenport has been reincarnated from Regency Era, England ... but she doesn't know it yet.

Then Drew Carmichael transfers into Lizzie's high school, and she feels a connection to him, almost like she knows him. She can't stop thinking about him, but whenever she tries talking with him about the mysteries behind her feelings, he makes it clear that he wants nothing to do with her. Reaching him is even more difficult because she has a boyfriend, Jeremy, who has started to become full of himself after being elected co-captain of the varsity soccer team, and her flirtatious best friend Chelsea starts dating Drew soon after his arrival. So why can't she get him out of her mind?

Even though Lizzie knows she should let go of her fascination with Drew, fighting fate isn't going to be easy.

The story is excellent with a few twists and turns that keep you glued. By the time I got to Timeless I was devouring every page to see how Lizzie’s adventure would turn out. I love the details that draw you into this series and keeps you hooked. Although this is geared more towards young adults, I found no problem enveloping myself in the story. I thought it was neat to travel back with Lizzie, Drew and Chelsea in time and watch them mature as they worked together for a happier ending. Very nice series and I highly recommend.

The premise was excellent. I mean, reincarnation? How cool is that? You thought about it, even if it's not a part of your religion, don't lie to yourself. The almighty unanswered question: what happens after death? Who knows, right? So when I got an email with a free copy of this book and I saw the word reincarnation I went gaga over it. I just couldn't help but thinking: "What could possibly go wrong?" Well ladies and gents, nothing more and nothing less than EVERYTHING.

All of the high school romance angst complicated by reincarnation memories. The characters are good. The action, such as it is, is too centred on the dating and break-ups for my taste.

Do you believe in past lives and reincarnation? Remembrance will definitely show you all about it!

Remembrance is a beautiful story told in Lizzie's POV. She was just a regular student with a boyfriend until she met Drew Carmichael and was immediately drawn to him. Then her best friend Chelsea started dating Drew and Lizzie started having conflicted emotions over it. Drew seemed to have the answers to Lizzie questions, like how he had known that she would get better in French, but he started avoiding her. Then there was the Halloween dance where she danced with this familiar masked man and she was hit by a vision of her past. Everything changed and she needed answers. Want to know how it ends? Grab a copy of the book!! ;)

Michelle Madow did a great job in introducing the element of reincarnation in her book as well as the concept of helping another person to realize their past lives. The pace was just right and I love her writing style--it's easy to follow. Her characters are easy to connect to. Definitely a page-turner you should try. However, note that there's some unfinished issues in the book which brings us to the next book in the Transcend Time series. Ooooo... I just can't wait for it to be released!

A very well written book, considering it is a first novel by the author. Loved the story and how smoothly the past and the present come together. Style of writing is very fresh and engaging. You read through and totally connect with the characters and their lives. A very interesting book. A must read.

Review by: Giselle Cormier on Oct. 02, 2011 : star star star star
Inspired from the Love Story music video by Taylor Swift, Madow created this wonderful unique love story that will make you want to be young and fall in love all over again.

I really loved the characters in this novel. I completely connected with Lizzie. She wasn't the most popular girl at school, nor was she a complete loser. She was your average American girl with normal teenage problems and worries. She has great friends and a not so perfect long term boyfriend - we'll get to him in a second. I could relate to her in a lot of ways. I had the same concerns as her when I got a bad mark, I would sit there and contemplate how it would affect my final grade. I also had a similar long term relationship where the spark just faded and the guy wasn't very... kind.

Now on to Jeremy. I really enjoyed her portray of a dwindling relationship. At first I was really wondering why the heck Lizzie was with this guy. I wanted to slap him! He was so mean and selfish with her, but then we learn that they were friends since they were kids and that he wasn't always this way. Relationships evolve and people grow apart. I found it very accurate of how most teenage relationships turn out - in my experience anyhow.

Apart from the main characters. The supporter characters - Chelsea, Keelie and even the smaller roles of Shannon and Amber - were very distinct in the story. They all were great additions to the story and actually acted like real friends; real people with flaws and personalities.

I enjoyed the original premise of this story. Lizzie is having flashbacks of her past life with Drew. I always wondered about reincarnation and find the possibility intriguing. It gave a sweet twist to an already cute love story. I did have a problem with her reactions to finding out what her vision was. She accepted it too easily like it happens to everyone. I'm a bit of a skeptic myself. If anyone would tell me we met in a past life, vision or not, I'd be like "You, sir, are bonkers!". While Lizzie just went "Oh ok, makes sense". This was the only issue I had with the story though. I really enjoyed the love story. It's definitely an adorable, feel-good type of book.

For a debut, the writing is excellent. It had a great flow and the story progressed at a nice pace. It never felt too rushed or too sluggish; It kept me absorbed the whole time. If you love romantic stories, this is definitely not one to miss.
