The more I read, the more I needed to know what was going to happen and how this was going to end, if that was even an option. It didn't disappoint.
I very much enjoyed the twisting and turning of this and appreciated the different perspectives throughout.

Admittedly, getting into the rhythm of the writing style and the intricate interplay of time and chapters required some adjustment. But once the story gained traction, it flowed effortlessly. I particularly enjoyed the added depth brought by chapters from another character's perspective, Ryan's – it added a compelling layer to the narrative.
The central characters – Jen, Kelly, and Todd – were all fleshed out beautifully. I relished the interconnectedness of their histories, especially as we pieced together the events leading up to Todd, Jen's son, committing a midnight crime on October 30th. And Andy, the scientist? He was a standout character, offering invaluable guidance as Jen grappled with the complexities of her temporal dilemma.
As for pacing, it struck a satisfying balance – while I tend to prefer a quicker pace, the story's intrigue held my attention throughout. While it might not qualify as a page-turner, it was the perfect bedtime companion, offering a cozy mystery to unwind with.
And those plot twists? While not earth-shattering, they added a nice sprinkle of excitement, especially as we journeyed back through time. Though, I must confess, the big twist was a tad predictable – saw it coming from a mile away. Still, the narrative was solid and thoroughly enjoyable.
It's evident that the author conducted thorough research, seamlessly incorporating technical expertise into the storytelling. Overall, it's left me eager to delve further into her body of work in the months ahead!
