Time travel books are fun. You have to wrap your head around how they work out in the end. This time travel book sort of sneaks up on you, in that other things are going on while Ridge, the time traveler, is checking out 1999.
For those who were alive in 1999, we all worried about Y2K, when all the computers would stop working. Scientists worked hard to make sure that it wouldn’t, and at the time, only one bank had trouble after the new year began. Other than that, we were all fine, and life went on.
Micheal, is obsessed with Y2K, and when he learns that Ridge is from the future, it is all he wants to know about, and Ridge can’t tell him, as the event is too close. He can tell him how he got his name, and a little about how life is like in the future, but that is about it.
But Ridge is the first time traveler, and he has no idea if anything he says will change things, so he has to be very careful. He has no idea what he will find when she returns home, and so worries about everything he says.
I really enjoyed this book. I marked several passages that spoke to me. And even the title is such a good thing to bring up and explain, in that it means living in the present time. Not worrying about the future or the past.
