Turning back time, want a fun book for me to read. I enjoyed reading along with the story and thinking about what I could do if I could turn back time. It would not be as great if you could not control the little moments time turned back though. I enjoyed the character in the book but there were a few sad moments in this book for me as well. I would read more from this author. * I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review*

It's a good read. The author tackles some big issues; fate, forgiveness, a worse nightmare, and an answer to prayer. I still have some unanswered questions even though the story gets a bit long in the middle, but it was definitely worth reading.

Dawn Graham had a peculiar experience as a young teen that forever changed her life. Occasionally plagued with what she called "slips" where she lost track of time, Dawn developed coping mechanisms to prevent these occurrences. Then tragedy struck and she was destined to repeat that same period of time, over and over again, desperately attempting to change the horrible outcome.
This was a very strange story that developed slowly, taking almost half of the book for me to grasp what was going on. Even when it became clearer, there was still much to untangle. I was hooked early but when Dawn began reliving that tragedy over and over again, the repetition became a bit tedious. I know it was necessary but lots of the details could have been trimmed.
Despite the tedium found late in the story, this book was compelling, reminiscent of my beloved old TV series, The Twilight Zone. It's a puzzler that's highly interesting, eerie and bizarre, which is a really good thing! Highly recommend. 3.5 stars

Eh. It wasn't a horrible book but I just wasn't pulled into the story enough. And, there was far too much time going over and over and over on Dawn's day when more could have been explored.

An interesting idea--a woman who can reset time, and does on several occasions, although it takes her many years to understand it. When she faces the worst possible tragedy she goes through her own personal hell hundreds of times trying to re-set the timeline to a better outcome and can't. It isn't until she understands that this timeline had another major player who suffered just as much that the time line could be reset. This second person had to be the one to do it.
Although the story doesn't go past this event, I keep wondering if she still had this ability, or if this was the last time it happened to her. If all her past time slips were leading to this particular event.
I can't say I just loved this book, but the idea is interesting and I expect I'll think about it for a while

Another great book by Susan May. The premise is not new (going back in time to prevent a tragedy) but she manages to give it a new twist, and she accomplishes to get us interested through wonderfully written characters.
It's easy to sympathise with Dawn and her anguish, her desperation. And yes, the emotional impact of the story makes it hard to read for moments, particularly if you're a mother yourself. My only complaint is that for moments it seems to slightly drag, but soon enough you are again immersed in the story and hurrying to the end.
A great read, the kind Ms May usually delivers.
