This is one of those perfect books! Brilliant, perfectly paced, unravels layer by layer, emotional. I loved this book! The mom guilt in it is rough at times, but there’s also love and grace. The moving backwards in time was done so well, the author made sure to recap events in linear time so you didn’t get lost, and you just get to be so in the story with her as she makes discoveries. The ending made me teary eyed and heart swollen. Ugh. Will recommend to everyone

Fun book! Unlike other books I’ve read, I enjoyed how she set up the mystery. I had a hard time getting into it, but once I did I immediately started running through all of the possibilities. Lots of plot twists, some I figured out early and others I had no clue until the end!! Very fun, and fairly easy read.

This was a great book, and I'd definitely recommend it! I've never read anything quite like it, and the story was full of many twists along the way. My reason for rating it four stars over five is that the storyline is retroactive, which can be hard to follow at times. I can't say too much without spoiling the entire premise, but it's a good book for a cozy day.

I read this as my first ever audio book whilst travelling. What a brilliant concept of time travel. The revelations of Jen and her family's past were captivating. Great fun.
