A time-travel, wish fulfillment book that didn’t suck?! Unprecedented. I feel like I can’t write anything else without spoiling it so just trust me.

Thank you, Michael Joseph Penguin Publishing, for sending this book in exchange for an honest review.
Late October. After Midnight Jen is waiting up for her seventeen-year-old son Todd to arrive home, he’s late. As Jen watches from the window, he emerges, and Jen sees he’s not alone. He is walking toward a man, and he’s armed. Jen cannot believe what she sees him do – her funny, happy teenage soon has just killed a stranger, right there on the street outside her house. She doesn’t know who or why. She only knows that Todd is now in custody and his future is gone. That night Jen goes to sleep feel despair. She is feeling lost. Until she wakes up . . . and it’s yesterday. And when she wakes again . . . it’s the day before yesterday. Every morning when Jen wakes it’s a day earlier, another day before the murder. With another chance to stop it. Somewhere in the past lies an answer. The trigger for this crime – and she doesn’t have a choice but to find it.
This book has a really interesting concept and I was a little sceptical on how it was going to work, but Gillian McAllister managed to pull it off. I really enjoyed seeing the additional POVs from Ryan who is a cop who is working undercover and how his story played out. I did struggle with this book at the beginning, I was wondering where it was going to go, by the end I was completely hooked and wondering if Jen was going to be able to stop this murder. Also, I liked the fact that we were also equally confused about why she was at what date until Jen figured it out – it made it seem like we were in Jen’s shoes. I really enjoyed this book once I finally managed to get into it. I would have loved to see POVs from Todd like how he got the knife, why he’s going to do it, how he met Clio etc.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a crime/thriller mystery book.
