Gift of Time

Obvious comparison to Octavia Butler's Kindred, though not as good as the classic obviously there are quite a number of parallels. I imagine Kindred inspired this story at least indirectly. Though unlike kindred this book is first and foremost a romance, just in an unique setting (for lesfic). I don't read romance usually so I don't know how to judge this book by its genres standards. It was hard to care about to romance as it was hard to care about the characters individually or together. They had some semblance of personality at first, but later they just blended together.
The fantasy elements weren't well thought out at all, I had a lot of questions about how some elements worked. For example, what happens to the original people when they are "possessed" by their future selves? Do they black out? Do they still have memories of the times they were possessed? Maybe I'm alone in this but if my girlfriend got possessed by her reincarnated version from 2100 i would like to know about it. It even comes up in the plot when Reagan is angry Lea kisses her past self, Lea agrees she has a point but 5 minutes later shes about to fuck Elizabeth anyway!! Of course Elizabeth at that time is Reagan but she has no way to know of it, and Reagan suddenly doesn't mind it either. GOD IT'S STUPID.Also how does the adoption thing work anyway? Who are their biological parents? Did they just fall from the sky? It just makes no sense.And since I'm going into spoiler territory anyway, I'm not happy that the only butch woman in this book isn't only evil but also a man that was reincarnated as a woman to teach him a lesson.
