This was a completely different kind of thriller than I was used to reading. I honestly wasn’t sure if I would like the time travel aspect, but the storyline completely sucked me in. I felt for Jen’s predicament as a mother trying to protect her son. I would do anything to protect my son. So I could relate with her on that. 

I love her thought process, her honesty — her brutal honesty, and the fact she was so real and relatable. The only thing that I felt it lacked was consistency or clarity in timelines when switching from Jen’s POV to another. I felt like Jen’s timeline was clearly laid out, so I felt confused when Ryan’s timeline wasn’t so clear. However, the last 20% or so of the book was amazing and tied everything up completely. It’s probably one of the first perfectly tied up endings I’ve ever read. 

I will say if you enjoyed Groundhog’s day or another similar themed movie or book, then look no further than this one. You’ll enjoy it! 

So my question to you is: If you could go back in time to stop a murder would you?
