HoLY SHIT! Damm. This book doesn't miss. Every time you think you have something figured out: you don't. While most of the characters don't develop beyond their box, Kelly and Jen become something else entirely. They start off in the box but evolve into their own complex characters with backstories you'd never think of. Truly a time travel story thats both new and exciting! My only qualm (which doesn't effect the actual story which is why it doesn't effect the score) is that a lot of the book throws in British slang and as an American its hard to understand.

What would you do if you witnessed your son committing a murder? And then you wake up the day before it happens? It wasn't a dream either.

Would highly recommend for fans of mysteries with a science fiction twist that doesn't overly complicate the realistic fiction narrative.

I finished this book in about a week. I had seen a lot of hype about this book from Reese's book club and I was pleased with the story. There was a good amount of tension and mystery building. I was able to guess one of the twists but I gasped at other parts. I have a couple of unanswered questions or things that I feel didn't really make sense, but I still enjoyed reading this and would recommend it!

This book was a lot to get through for me. I loved the concept of the plot, but I think it was over detailed and really tricky to follow. I’m a very visual thinker, so having so many characters and aliases in the story made it really confusing to follow at times. I think many pieces could have been left out to make the story flow better and hold my attention. So many chapters I was practically falling asleep to finish. However, I think the last 50 pages are the only memorable parts of the story. There were SO many twists that it was almost too many. I wish they were more spread out throughout the book. Up until the reveal, I was like “who the heck is the Ryan guy” and would practically skim through his chapters because I was sooooo bored. Overall, it just wasn’t for me! I really wish I loved it though because the plot idea had me so intrigued from the get go 😭 I’d give it a 1.5/5 stars
