Shes convinced that she was born at the wrong time, and after a series of break-ins at her apartment and threatening messages, shes determined to figure out where she really belongs. She thinks she wants to go to Regency England, meet her Mr. Darcy, and settle down. However, a disastrous date ends with Ada covered in rancid chicken stock and rethinking her plans. She returns to The Kairos Agency and agrees to try an entirely different era. She travels to 1920s New York where she meets Henry Levison, a small-time hood.

This was not what I expected - the idea of how time travel might be regulated and abused was way more of a theme than the romance - and I enjoyed it except for the somewhat ambiguous ending.
After a national scandal, Ada uses a time travel dating service to try to find love but discovers that even when no one knows your past, it still shapes you.
4/5 read for a time travel romance that is a great balance of social/ political commentary & romance
