About this listen

Finding true love is only a matter of time in this heartfelt and hilarious romantic comedy, starring Zoë Chao (The Afterparty), Noah Reid (Schitt’s Creek), and a full cast!

Romance can be a little complicated when you get sucked into a wormhole. Just ask high school English teacher June Flint. One little solar flare happens and suddenly you find yourself 85 years in the future. Eighty-five years from your dream job. Your ailing mother whose only companion in this world is you. Your favorite stuffed-crust pizza from DeLucia’s on Sunday nights.

But when June’s cell phone inexplicably picks up a signal, she’s able to call back to the present—more specifically, four weeks before she accidentally time traveled. Problem is, the phone can only call one number: her work nemesis, gym teacher Mikey Shannon.

Now future June must help Mikey befriend present-day June to keep her from disappearing. But present-day June doesn't even want to be in the same room as Mikey, let alone become besties. And Mikey isn’t exactly...talkie. Yet he’s spending hours a day with future June on the phone, and even more time trying to befriend present-day June. Volunteering with June at school, check. Facing his fear of roller coasters to make June smile, check. Adopting a puppy and letting her name it. Check.

But what does succeeding in the present mean for future June, and for the serious feelings she and Mikey are starting to catch for one another? Stopping time travel is one thing—but can they stop themselves from falling in love?

Like a hug with mega dose of confidence

Not sure what it is about Bastone’s books, but I always feel like I’ve gotten a big hug after listening to them (and never get sick of re-listening). Also like I could take on the world, strangely enough. The story like in this latest novel was right up my alley, time travel, romance, conflict, it’s got it all! Well, I’m off to go re-listen to the Love Lines series once more while I await her next hit!

Listened all at once!

Fun story! Great narration and acting. I finished the whole thing in one sitting. I gave the story 4.5 stars because at the end it was confusing what exactly happened. It was very clear during the story the different “time zones” and who was where. Then the end was convoluted how it was resolved. This was disappointing since the rest of the story was so great.
Regardless, I recommend this book to any contemporary rom com lovers. It was fun and engaging. Definitely worth the credit.

This is a real charmer!

Loved the banter mixed in with honest feelings. Laughed out loud many times. And I was so glad for the epilogue. Thank you, Cara, for another fun feel good story.

Its good to be seen and its good to see!

I love it! Can relate with the characters. Their characteristics itself, the attitude is very relatable. I have those traits and this story inspired me to go out there and be myself! Thank you!

Love it

Cara Boston's did it again. This was a unique take on a sci-fi story of time travel merging with a lovely love story that just left me with a wonderful feeling of heart felt. Totally recommend.

Perfect performances!

A sweet story for any one who loves a rom com. I loved the solar flare (super light) sci fi time bending twist. Fantastic all cast recording was the cherry on top.

Cutest love story.

I love all of Cara books. This one did not disappoint, super cute and heart warming. And not as sci-fi as you may think.
