I went into Time Between Us with fairly low expectations, not because I didn't think it would be good, but because it looked like a sweet love story that might be nice to pass the time with, but wouldn't really blow my mind. I pretty much got what I expected, with a touch of bittersweet thrown in for good measure. 
 Anna was an iffy protagonist for me. I liked her at times, and others I didn't. I also didn't much care for her best friend, Emma, though I think I was supposed to. She was just your typical YA best friend, there to support the main character through her life troubles. Bennett was probably the best character in the book; he was really sweet but not to the point of being overly perfect. The writing was good, no complaints there. 
 I don't totally understand something, though. (view spoiler)[ Why did Anna choosing to go to Mexico enable Bennett to come back to her? (hide spoiler)] Maybe I just missed something, I'm not sure. I suppose the story kept my interest well enough throughout, I never thought about not finishing it, even with the plot being somewhat predictable. 
 I guess what I'm trying to say is that this book fits well in the three star description for me. I enjoyed it, and I don't regret reading it, but it was just kind of on the 'meh' side, and I probably will have a hard time remembering it in a few weeks. I'd recommend it if you're looking for a cute love story. I will, however, read the sequel. Eventually. 
 3 stars.
