11:53 AM
Wibbly Wobbly Wednesdays is a new feature on this blog where we talk about any book that has something to do with the concept of time. The book may be about time travel, set in the past or future, or just has a bizarre timeline. If you are a Whovian, you know what we're talking about! :)
Forever Layla by Melissa Turner Lee
Title: Forever Layla
Author: Melissa Turner Lee
Publisher: AltWit Press
Publication Date: May 27, 2014
Hardcopy: 170 pages
What if the woman you envied most is the person you are destined to become?
In 1994, high school senior David Foster was the lackey and soundboard geek for his best friend's grunge band. During spring break, the band lands a dream gig playing at a motel in Myrtle Beach, SC. David expected all the girls to ogle the guys on stage, but when a beautiful blond "Bond Girl" approaches him and calls him by name, he's shocked to find out she knows more about him than a stranger should.
She even knows about his notebooks and his visions of time travel.
What she thought was a quick time-travel-sightseeing trip takes a surprising turn when she meets the young adult version of the man she'd heard stories about as a child. His fairy-tale romance with the woman he'd loved, Layla, inspired her to accept nothing less than a love just as strong...but hopefully not as tragic. When she won't tell the younger version of him her name, he calls her Layla--and the world as she knows it changes forever.

We decided to pick Forever Layla for our Wibbly Wobbly Wednesdays because Beryl is reading it right now and so far, she really likes it. Also, the plot, aside from the time travel, seems very unique. We decided to share this book with you guys so you can love this book as much as we do.
