Review:

Ellen and Harrison are both interesting characters and I especially enjoyed the first part of their story together. However, especially as the story progressed, I began to feel detached from what was happening. I just couldn't connect with the story, which is kind of how I felt while reading Stay With Me, book one in the series. Maybe it's the time period they're traveling back to that disinterests me- I've never been too fond of that time in history. The plot also felt rushed and lacking in depth.

 I love the concept- two people, who have never been able to live life the way they wished due to health problems, confronted with a magical water that can turn back time- and also heal the body. What is morally right in this situation? Who should drink of this water- Ellen or Harrison? The kids in the hospital that Ellen helps at? Who is deserving of healing? I think Jody does a pretty good job of answering the questions in Never Leave Me, and it's in an engaging way through time travel. I just wish the plot itself had felt less rushed- I really wanted to like this book more.
