The Lemoncholy Life of Annie Aster
The Lemoncholy Life of Annie Aster | Scott Wilbanks
Annabelle Aster doesn't bow to convention-not even that of space and time-which makes the 1890s Kansas wheat field that has appeared in her modern-day San Francisco garden easy to accept. Even more peculiar is Elsbeth, the truculent schoolmarm who sends Annie letters through the mysterious brass mailbox perched on the picket fence that now divides their two worlds.Annie and Elsbeth's search for an explanation to the hiccup in the universe linking their homes leads to an unsettling discovery-and potential disaster for both of them. Together they must solve the mystery of what connects them before one of them is convicted of a murder that has yet to happen...and yet somehow already did.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ cute, fun, creative a little predictable. I enjoyed this time traveling saga with very creative characters.

Enjoyable. It's a wee bit clumsy occasionally, and guilty of some appallingly structured sentences, but the story is original, the characters are decent, and it's a fun, quick read.

I struggled through this #bookclub pick. I'm not one for time travel books and this one just had too much randomness all put together. There were parts that were hard to follow because they skipped around so much. I liked the interview with the author at the end of my kindle edition better than the book itself!

I thought the story started off strong, but too many characters and sub-plots and odd time-travel rules ruined it for me. I just didn't care much about what happened to the characters and I felt it went on 100 pages too long. Most of the storylines did get wrapped up at the end, so that's a plus.

I laughed out loud when I read, "Well, truth be told, I'm a bit of a suffragist who was coaxed into early retirement by the powers that be when, during a class discussion on that very topic, I cut off an unenlightened (and smelly!) young man by saying, 'Johnny! Didn't your mother ever teach you not to speak with your mouth full of stupid?' "

Never lower yourself for others. Make them rise to you. Whether they can or not is their burden, not yours.
