This review is from: The History of Lucy's Love Life in Ten and a Half Chapters (Paperback)
Though Lucy and Anthony are both phobic about committing, they find themselves on the brink of doing just that with each other, and Lucy runs from that. She wants to be free to pursue other men, footloose and fancy free. Or does she? When she gets hold of a time machine, she has an opportunity to find out how well she knows herself and soon encounters Ovid, who turns out to be a coward, Lord Byron and his crowd, and Al Capone. Things go truly badly with Capone though, and she finds she has to undo time to fix things, but the price of doing so is as stiff as that of not doing so, it would seem. How many times can one woman lose her true love? How will Lord Byron cope on reality TV? These and more questions are answered in ten and a half fun chapters.
**** I've endured many chick lit novels and enjoyed quite a few time travels, and this is nothing like any of them. Comedic thrill abound, making it read something like one of the humor oriented Doctor Who episodes, if Bridget Jones was a companion, that is. The strongest aspect is the constant sense of not knowing where this story will take you, as Ms. Wright throws curve ball after curve ball at her readers. **** Amanda Killgore

This review is from: The History of Lucy's Love Life in Ten and a Half Chapters (Paperback)
I have read other time travel books, but this one is far and away the most interesting one that I have ever read.
Lucy is in her late 20's and lives in London. Two years ago she met Anthony on a plane from NYC to London and had what began as a one night stand, but turned into a long term relationship. They got together because both are affraid of commitment. One day while Lucy is at work Anthony texts Lucy about a special night. It turns out to be a disaster and Lucy ends up dumping him. They remain in touch though and start to become friends again. The day that Lucy dumped Anthony her boss (a scatterbrained scientist) gets a pacage from a former boyfriend that contains a time machine. THe next day however, Lucy gets fired and as a parting gift is alowed to keep the time machine. At first Lucy does not know what to do with it. She sets it up in the living room of her flat, but does not think that it is actually going to work. She wants to meet Lord Byron so she puts in a date in 1813 and low and behold is actually transported back in time to meet Lord Byron. SHe stays several weeks and actually meets Keats, Persy Shelly and Mary Shelly. However things do not go so well and she returns. Over the next several weeks Lucy gets curious about the time machine and goes back to visit Leonardo Da Vinci and Ovid and has some interesting experiences with them. During this time she spends time with Anthony as friends. He is taking her to his father Peter's 60th Birthday Party with a 1920's theme when they think that it would be cool to go to the 1920's and meet Al Capone. Things do not go so well, so Lucy does not want to use it again. However while babysitting for her nephew he accidentally transports them to India. Their they meet a nice man Peter who is with his son Tony. At first Lucy is not sure what year it is, but after a dinner with Peter, his wife and Tony she finds out that it is in the 1980's. Shortly after the trip to India Lucy finds out that Anthony is back together with a former girlfriend and they soon are set to get married in NYC. During this time Lord Byron is staying with Lucy and becomes famous for being on a reality t.v. Lucy does not like having to go to the wedding, but brings the time machine with her. During the trip she pops in to see Cassanova (right after he excaped from prison) and transports him to the present. Lucy however can not stop thinking about how much she loves Anthony and wants to tell him that he should be with her. Lucy almost does not go to the wedding, but forces herself to go and is glad she does because things are conspiring to call the wedding off. What happens next? Read the book.
