Time travel is supposed to be for scientists, heroes, or at least people who don't burn frozen waffles. Eli Camden is none of those things. He's sixteen, chronically awkward, and the proud owner of exactly zero life plans—unless you count binge-watching conspiracy documentaries and avoiding gym class. The closest he's ever gotten to danger was dropping his phone in a bowl of ramen. But when he accidentally activates his eccentric grandfather’s suspiciously labeled “Not-A-Time-Machine,” Eli is launched headfirst into the chaos of Victorian London—where top hats are common, Wi-Fi is nonexistent, and a girl named Alice Penrose might just be the weirdest, smartest, and most captivating person he’s ever met. Oh, and possibly a fellow time traveler. Now Eli’s stuck navigating confusing timelines, growing feelings, and an aggressively territorial squirrel who may or may not be plotting a chronal crime spree. This is not your average love story. It's a rom-com across centuries. Because falling in love is hard enough… without the added risk of unraveling the space-time continuum.
