This book made my jaw drop! You've never read a story like it! Go in blind like I did and buckle in for the ride. 

This is low key a romance story ha ha

Jen's son has just killed someone. She is shocked. There was never any sign that there was anything going on. She goes to bed that night not knowing what tomorrow will bring... and it was definitely a surprise. She wakes up the day before the murder occurs. She continues to go backward in time to figure out what she missed. How could something like this have happened? How could she have stopped it? Who is her son? 

The storyline definitely didn't go where I expected. Everything is not as it seems and it continues to build to the last few pages. This was a pageturner and I couldn't wait to see where it ended.

I thought this book was really inventive and unique. I’m impressed by all the things the author must’ve had to keep track of to avoid plot holes in this format.

It was maybe a bit long or dragging at times but I think everything was also necessary? And it still kept my interest. I actually stayed up late because I had to know how it ended. 

What I didn’t really like:

1) I feel like this book was copaganda. The police are criticized for a large portion of the book but Surprise! in the end they were the good guys all along. 2) I didn’t love the way it focused a lot on “mom guilt”. (But that eventually resolved.)

I definitely didn’t expect the Ending (plot resolution) [well, part of it became clear over the course of the book, but part of it was a complete surprise to me at least] or the ending (epilogue).

(Which was kind of a cliffhanger)

I thought it was kind of neat that she forgets everything in the end.

Random silly observation: I love how the narrator did the American accent of the physicist lol. 

If you don’t mind following a complicated Memento-like plot, this is a really great book.
