YEAR: 2083. LOCATION: LONDON. MISSION: WAKE ROMEO. It' s the end of the world. Literally. Time travel is possible, but only forwards. And only a handful of families choose to remain in the ' now' , living off the scraps that were left behind. Among these are eighteen-year-old Juliet and the love of her life, Romeo. But things are far from rosy for Jules. Romeo is in a coma and she' s estranged from her friends and family, dealing with the very real fallout of their wild romance. Then a handsome time traveller, Ellis, arrives with an important mission that makes Jules question everything she knows about life and love. Can Jules wake Romeo and rewrite her future? A highly original mashup that delights as it disorients . . . and asks what would have happened if two great literary love stories were somehow intertwined. ' Original, ambitious, powerful . . . Barker' s ability to challenge the boundaries of genre and find light in the darkness is a gift. ' Melina Marchetta, author of Looking for Alibrandi and Saving Francesca' A genre-bending masterpiece that effortlessly juggles classic literature, existentialism, time travel and dystopia - with action and feels. I freaking loved every minute. ' Lili Wilkinson, author of After The Lights Go Out, Green Valentine and Pink' The most beautiful, moving and rigorously plotted time travel novel I have ever read. ' Justine Larbalestier, author of Liar, My Sister Rosa and Razorhurst
