I think the title was misleading. It wasn't jennifer's escape it was jennifer's self recognition i guess.

Scerakor wrote: 13 Dec 2017, 08:29 As the actual "Escape" from the 30th century was over within the first chapter, I have a tendency to agree. Is "Back to the future" taken? How about ... "Surviving in the past"?
I think "surviving in the past" is the best title this book could have. Sad the author didn't thought the way you did. I would have saved many readers from the pain they have suffered because of the misleading title and description.

My suggestion: Swinging by the South Pacific.
Good one! :lol: I also started wondering what all the bisexual encounters really had to do with the story!?

Is "Sex and the Ocean" taken?

The title was definitely misleading. I'd suggest "By the Deep Blue Sea"

Seems to me like the story line out-lasted the tittle of the book. I think a name that reflects more than the escape from the 30th century would have been more appropriate.
