Publisher's Summary
On the eve of a huge breakout success, a poor but brilliant young game developer is pulled out of her world and time itself by a cowboy desperately searching for the daughter he lost 200 years ago.
Cady McCall is ready to be rich and famous. She has sacrificed everything, putting her work ahead of family and friends. Now, with breakout success and huge, insane wealth so close she can taste it, her life is blown apart by Deputy Marshal John "Titanic" Smith, the man who rescues her from two muggers only to carry her off into history. Lost on the seas of time, Smith is desperate to get home to his family in 1876, and now Cady is lost along with him, facing danger and finding love in Victorian London, ancient Rome, and the near-future America of President for Life Donald Trump.

Abrupt ending too much f language
The story ends abruptly, as if the author felt as though he had written enough and had grown impatient for a payment. In Axis of Time, the author has a leading young (at least at the beginning of the series) attractive female with a narcissistic flaw that hurts her relationships. She also swears constantly using the f word in almost each scene. Same with A Girl in Time, but worse. I enjoy time travel, but agree with the advice given by Eric Flint to aspiring authors: use swearing judiciously and the f word only rarely. The frequency in this book indeed becomes very tiresome and doesn't add to the story.

The Trump fascism drivel took me out of the story
The Trump fascism drivel took me out of the story. We get it, the author likes Hillary.

Gripping
From beginning to end -this book takes you and doesn't let go. Vanessa Johansson is absolutely brilliant in putting the right emotion, tenor and spot-on narration that accompanies John Birmingham's genius storytelling skills. One question: when is Book 2 in this series happening?

John Birmingham has lost his touch
This book is a major disappointment. Birmingham's vision of an America under Trump reads like a propaganda leaflet, rolled up in a ( barely) science fiction romance. He should stick to the racist, antisemitic politics of his homeland.

Great story, until it became political
I usually give five stars to all but the worst audio books, but this one is an exception. It was a great and engaging story until chapter twenty. Then the author's hatred of Trump over shadowed the story itself. Chapters twenty to twenty-five might as well have been a propaganda hit piece. I listen to escape the stupid political PR spinning, but even here I get it mixed in to whatever I'm listening to anyway. :( Making the fact that Trump actually won the election after she left the timeline as the major evidence of being in a different timeline is just troll logic from an otherwise very intelligent woman.
I'm on chapter twenty seven as I write this, and hopefully past it now. But it has forever colored my opinion of this story. I will not be telling others this is a good story.
Edited later; The political propaganda eased off after that, mostly. But I checked the reviews of a couple other books by this author. John has apparently been having a problem with that for almost a decade now. :( Tragic loss of potential.

garbage the book started slow AND became liberal 1
the book started off slow and then became liberal crap at the halfway point. I bought this book on Amazon only so that I could write it so that people would have avoided because it sucked so bad.

A bit disjointed and lacking how or why
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Meh....SO SO. It felt like something was missing, which, given that it was a time travel book meant the reason of why, how and purpose was blandly overlooked other than knowing there was a protagonist who wanted to see his daughter and a woman who wanted to get back....It lacked a background of the villains and why or who they were.
Has A Girl in Time turned you off from other books in this genre?
no.
Any additional comments?
The whole political spin on it was a turn off, necessary and a waste of words.

fun read.
I enjoyed the book but I am not a fan of open-ended book endings. now I want a sequel but since this book was written six years ago that ain't going to happen.

Contemporary time travel
I have read other works by this author and enjoyed this different take on a romantic time adventure. Some interesting places were visited and unusual characters . it stands alone at present.

I loved the story
Being the book was released in 2017, not sure why it was decided to have Hillary as the President. I guess the author is a Democrat
