Gabrielle Meyer’s In This Moment is book two in the Timeless series, and once again, she nails it. Maggie lives three full lives in 1861, 1941, and 2001—waking up in a different era each day. She’s a nurse in every life, but each role comes with its own joys and heartbreaks. On her 21st birthday, she must choose just one life to keep… and lose the other two forever. No pressure.
These books are always so heartwarming. Meyer writes with such heart and care, I wish she could crank them out faster. Her ability to make each timeline feel vivid and authentic is impressive—she clearly did her homework on three very different eras.
Maggie is easy to root for, though I did roll my eyes a little at the fact that a man happened to be in love with her in all three timelines. Neat, tidy… and a bit much. Still, the emotional stakes are high, the spiritual themes resonate, and the ending packs a punch.
If you love time-slip fiction with depth and soul, this one hits the sweet spot. Just be prepared to have your heart twisted.
