Sixteen years ago, after a scandal that rocked the world, teenagers Katherine and Matthew vanished without a trace. Now Clove Sutcliffe is determined to find her long lost relatives.
But where do you start looking for a couple who seem to have been reincarnated at every key moment in history? Who were Kate and Matt? Why were they born again and again? And who is the mysterious Ella, who keeps appearing at every turn in Clove's investigation? For Clove, there is a mystery to solve in the past and a love to find in the future, and failure could cost the world everything. Time travel! Sapphic cuteness! Family! I'll be honest, I didn't like this one as much as the first, but it was still pretty darn good. I liked the inclusion of files and chat transcripts to reinforce the scientific/observational/notebook idea of the book. Clove was adorable. She was impulsive, but she learned to right her wrongs and genuinely improved. Also adorable? Her relationship with Ella. The banter, the "long distance" relationship, it was all so cute! Never thought I needed cute girl time travelers, but with the killer combination of this book and Jodie Whittaker as Thirteen, I was WRONG. I was super attached to the first book in the series because I loved seeing each incarnation of Kate and Matt, which was something I missed in The Last Beginning. Clove's story was continuous and well-written, but I liked the vignette style with common elements in the first book. Overall: 4/5 stars, and recommended to readers interested in time travel, romance, and cleverness.
