Boy, do I love a book I just can't put a book down. As many books as I enjoy, I wouldn't call them all page-turners. While some books are enjoyable to read at whatever pace I feel like reading them, there are others where I can't wait to get back to them every time I'm forced to put them down due to some adult responsibility getting in the way. That's what happened with Yesteryear. Caro Claire Burke's debut novel had me on the edge of my seat in total "what on earth is going on here" mode from beginning to end. What's more, not only am I relieved to know that this story has been optioned for a book-to-screen adaptation already, but also that they've already found the perfect lead -- Anne Hathaway.
I won't spoil anything major for you here about Yesteryear. Part of the greatness of the book is how it unfolds, and I wouldn't want to take that from anyone who's here because they're either planning to read the book, currently reading it, or curious about it. This is a spoiler-safe zone in terms of the plot. But I will start with an explanation of what it's about.
