Synopsis

A Parade Magazine Best Young Adult Book of 2021

“A romance for the ages…one perfect little novel.” —Stacey Lee, award-winning author of The Downstairs Girl

The Sun Is Also a Star meets Outlander in this “unforgettable and artfully crafted romance” (Julie Murphy, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Dumplin’) about two teens who relive their tragic love story over and over until they uncover what they must do to change their fate.

Tamar is a musician, a warrior, a survivor. Fayard? He’s a pioneer, a hustler, a hopeless romantic.

Together, Tamar and Fayard have lived a thousand lives, seen the world build itself up from nothing only to tear itself down again in civil war. They’ve even watched humanity take to the stars. But in each life one thing remains the same: their love and their fight to be together. One love story after another. Their only concern is they never get to see how their story ends. Until now.

When they finally discover what it will take to break the cycle, will they be able to make the sacrifice?

Goodreads review by Fanna

Romance. Tragedy. Reincarnation. I wish it was this easy to sum up For All Time but honestly, there's so much more: star-crossed lovers, different lifetimes, history and future across centuries, doomed destinies, and the inevitability of what's meant to be. For All Time is a debut young adult romanc......more

Goodreads review by ♥Milica♥

The soulmates trope is my favourite trope, and when paired with reincarnation? Double win. I'm also big on time travel so this sounded like the perfect book for me. It wasn't. That's really sad, because it had potential, interesting characters and good writing, but the execution wasn't good. The begin......more

Goodreads review by Anniek

This book was a 5 star prediction for me, but unfortunately, I really didn't click with it. I was hoping for drama and tragedy but instead I got a really confusing book that seemed to lack a clear plot that I couldn't get emotionally invested in. In fact, I can't believe I'm even going to say this,......more

Goodreads review by Ms. Woc Reader

This book was so unique compared to many of my YA reads. I'm not sure how to describe the premise outside of teens falling in love across lifetimes. Let's start with present day South Carolina where Tamar is dealing with a long term illness she has as a side affect of the Covid 19 pandemic. She's in......more

Quotes

"Narrators Joniece Abbott–Pratt and Landon Woodson’s transformative performances take listeners through time as two teenagers fall in love over multiple lifetimes. Woodson is emotive and upbeat as Fayard, who lives his many lives with reckless abandon. In contrast, Abbott–Pratt gives a more reserved and subtle performance as Tamar, who struggles to put her well-being first in her various lives. The narrators expertly alter their performances as the teens cycle through lifetimes; they effortlessly take on the rhythmic accent of precolonial Africa, the fast-paced delivery of the 1920s, and the laid-back tone of modern times. The pair give a stunning performance that highlights their ability to play with nuance and cadence to evoke the unique settings in this genre-defying love story."
