Ruby Red by Kerstin Gier

Sixteen-year-old Gwyneth is aware that her family is somehow connected to a group of time-travelers.  Her cousin Charlotte supposedly carries the time-traveling gene and has been preparing her entire life for the time-traveling she will do.  However, it turns out that it's not Charlotte who carries the gene, but actually Gwyneth.  She can't control her time travel and goes back in time a few times before finally telling her mom about her ability.  Once she does, she finds out how the ability can be controlled, and she learns a lot more about the group of time-travelers.  There are some people she can trust, and some she can't.  This is the first in a trilogy.  I thought this was a very compelling story!  It has adventure and a little YA-style romance. 4/5
