Clockwise Books in Order

The Clockwise books are YA time travel romances with a very practical problem at the center: what if high school was already hard, and then you started slipping into the past without warning? That is the basic trouble facing Casey Donovan, a smart, awkward teenager who is already trying to survive crushes, insecurities, and the social minefield of school.

Then time gets involved.

The first book throws Casey into the nineteenth century and makes things even worse by dragging her secret crush, Nate Mackenzie, into the chaos. From there, the series keeps expanding the emotional and historical consequences of those jumps. The time travel is not just a gimmick. It changes relationships, tests trust, and forces the characters to see one another differently.

That is one of the nice things about this series. It keeps the swoony part of YA romance, but it gives the romance something real to push against. Casey and Nate are not simply deciding whether they like each other. They are dealing with danger, misfires, misunderstandings, and the fact that the past does not care about teenage plans.

Later books widen the lens. Companion stories let other characters step forward, and the timeline starts to bend in bigger ways, including trips to places like 1929 and 1955. The result is a series that feels playful on the surface but keeps raising the stakes underneath.

The tone stays clean, emotional, and easy to read. There is humor in the awkwardness, real feeling in the romance, and enough historical atmosphere to make the settings matter. Readers who enjoy time-slip stories, lovable teen chaos, and a romance that has to earn itself usually settle in fast here.

In short, Clockwise is about growing up while time refuses to behave. It is messy, heartfelt, and built for readers who like their romance with a side of historical whiplash.
