Romantic and far reaching, Timeless is the classic time-traveling tale of Michele Windsor. She's part of the Windsor's, history's first millionaires, yet her family has been shunned for her parents love. Unfortunately after tragedy happens, Michele is forced to move back into New York - the world of the rich and elite and her traditional grandparents. With the discovery of a key and diary, Michele's life is warped into a time traveling twist back into the Gilded Age - where she meets the boy of her dreams. Through countless years, time traveling wise, Michele falls into an impossible love. As the two lovers struggle to overcome time and space, questions about Michele's family and absent father emerge. Timeless is indeed a classic trip into history from the Gilded Age and to the Roaring Twenties all while expressing love that pushes the boundaries of space and time. 
 I really liked Timeless's idea and theme: history and romance. There's actually a good deal of history mentioned in here: we go from passing mentions of Vanderbilt to huge examination of the Jazz Age: from flappers to the famous Louis Armstrong etc. However, if the romance, the longing the passion was done with more force I think I would've really loved Timeless. The romance is lacking, the characters are a bit flat and I don't see the chemistry. Phillip and Michele are both rather bland, they see one another and act like love-stricken fools. Monir could have played up the longing, the angst, the passion a bit more, and that would've really been something. The book is surprising chaste as well, and the romance is rather brief when more questions about the past and such are revealed. 
 Another thing about Timeless that bothers me is the fact that it leaves so much unanswered, and solves little. I know it's a series, yet it feels too little to work on. The love just starts and the whole time traveling mystery starts, it's frustrating! Many YA books are quick paced, and Timeless is no exception, but I feel like its one that should have been taken slowly - it deserves more attention, and definitely more love. 
 Timeless, ultimately suffers from many little writing mistakes, like pacing and romantic development. Monir, as a debut artist is promising, yet needs to polish up. However, I greatly enjoyed the concept of Timeless, and the songs that go with the book - she sings beautifully! I will definitely be taking a look at the sequel. Timeless is an interesting book to read, yet it is only average on many points.
