I give it a 4.5 out 5 because I still think the ending was too abrupt for my liking. I would recommend this to anyone who loves YA and MG books, for sure. The writing is quick, fast-paced, and easy to follow. It was an intriguing concept with mysteries, ghosts, time travel, and just enough paranormal to keep me satisfied. Miranda must figure out the mysteries of the dollhouse before something bad happens. Strange things start happening though - the events that used to happen in the house begin to unravel and happen again through those living in the house now. When a chance encounter leads Miranda to discover that she can view the past through the windows of the dollhouse, which is a replica of her house, she becomes emotionally attached to those she sees through the windows.

Miranda isn't so sure, but she finds an antique dollhouse in the attic and finds herself drawn to it. The house is old, quaint, and everything her parents could ever hope for. Time Windows is the story of Miranda Browne, the quintessential city girl from New York who moves to the suburbs in Massachusetts. Did I replace the book? Negative.I taped the cover back on, and I still re-read it to this day.
