Summary of Time Keepers, by Kate Allenton

Embark on a whimsical journey in 'Time Keepers' by Kate Allenton, where time travel and self-discovery intertwine with romance and cosmic shenanigans.

Welcome to Time Keepers, a delightful romp through the whimsical world of time travel, where the past isn't just a place you visit during history class! In this delightful tale by Kate Allenton, get ready for a journey that not only messes with time but also makes you question why you thought that haircut in 2005 was a good idea.

So, what's the setup? We're introduced to a group of Time Sweepers-yes, that's a very fancy title for folks who basically vacuum up time like it's some sort of cosmic dust bunny. The main character (let's just call them the Protagonist for now because I forgot their name in all the time-warping confusion) discovers that they have a special power that allows them to travel back in time. But don't get too excited; this isn't a Back to the Future scenario where you can just hop into a DeLorean and hope for the best.

Surprise! Things get complicated faster than you can say "What the flux?" The Protagonist learns about some serious time-wrangling drama, including a looming villain who's got plans that would make even your most ambitious ex look like a slacker. Spoiler alert (yes, I'm giving you a heads-up): things do not end well for anyone trying to mess with time in a shady manner.

The narrative unfolds with our time-hopping hero facing off against a bunch of time cops-you know, the folks who really don't want you messing with history (or ruining their coffee breaks with all this temporal nonsense). Our protagonist's journey isn't just about thrilling escapades; there are also hefty doses of self-discovery. Who knew time travel could lead to existential crises? Honestly, I thought that was just for people in their mid-30s.

There's romance too, because let's face it, what's a time travel saga without some steamy entanglements? Expect the usual back-and-forth of love interests who are as confusing as a time paradox. No one really knows who's dating whom because, oh right, there's no straight timeline! It's like watching a reality show where everyone is dating everyone else-but with more quantum physics and less mascara.

The pacing is breezy, giving you just enough thrills and spills to keep you engaged without needing a time-out. So, if time travel, eternal love, and cosmic cosmic cleaning sound like your cup of tea, grab your favorite snack, get comfy, and dive into Time Keepers. Just remember: don't annoy the time cops, and maybe think twice before trying to change that ridiculous fashion choice. We all have to live with our past selves, after all!
