"That's one of the things I really like about you. Everything through your eyes is magical."

This is the second book I've read from Madeline and it definitely won't be the last one. The Time Traveler's Guide to Modern Romance is one of those books that at the end of each chapter you just want to continue reading because everything is so interesting and engaging.

This book has two points of view, one of them is the boy from the 1800s called Elias. He's definitely my favorite character of them all. Since he comes from such an old period of time, it was hilarious to see him struggle with the way people talk these days and also endearing how everything was new and fascinating to him. There was a hint of childlike curiosity in him that was just the sweetest thing to read about.

Then we have Tyler, the guy on the modern time that helps Elias get use to all of this. I thought he was such a good friend and an even better person because he immediately decided to help Elias even though he didn't how him just because he saw him struggling.

There are also very entertaining side characters like Elias' little sister and Tyler's best friends. I got so attached to them that I'd love to read a book with their own stories since each of them were so unique and adorable that by now I think their story is something I need.

However, I think the romance aspect of this book simply wasn't for me. I didn't quite see the chemistry between these two characters and I think they would have been just fine by being friends. And also, there are only three moments were the romance really shows in the entire book which I think may have contributed to the fact that I didn't ship them completely because I didn't get to see them interact that way enough.

Moreover, I felt the ending was very predictable to the point that I didn't feel scared or worried when I know I should have had, so that took a lot away from my enjoyment overall.

I mean, I didn't exactly knew Elias was going to be able to fix everything on the past to come and stay with Tyler but I did knew it was going to be a happy ending so if something wrong happened it was unimportant because the end goal was that.

All in all, I would still recommend this book because of its cute characters and how many times I laughed at loud thanks to Elias. I just personally didn't find the romantic aspect of this book that satisfying.
