There were so many twists and turns in this one that I found myself not minding when I worked a few of them out earlier than I was probably supposed to. I found myself deeply engrossed in Jen's character development as she moved through time, especially her growth in better understanding her relationship with Todd.
The familial love and bonding is one of the central arcs that keeps you coming back. And you'll toggle back and forth between hating and loving certain characters, but I think that's what makes the writing so great! You're just right in there. Fully immersed.
Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a mystery that steps outside of regular expectations!

Once the story picked up, I found myself enjoying it overall, however, I do think it did drag on for many parts. I guessed some twists, but there were many times where I was shocked and it's been a while since a thriller shocked me. I really enjoyed the various depictions of Jen's love for her son. It was so endearing to read how much she cared for him. I also enjoyed the various interactions Jen has with Andy. Those were always so funny to read. The time travel stuff was also very interesting and fun to read about. Ultimately once you've finished this book you find out that it's low-key a love story.
The ending was pretty anti-climatic to me and pretty unsatisfying.
