Die Grundidee des Buches klang wahnsinnig spannend und es gab auch einige Aspekte, die ich gut geschrieben fand, jedoch war die Geschichte viel zu lang, wenn man bedenkt, was dann am Ende „herauskommt“. Wobei ich sowieso sagen muss, dass mir der Schluss plötzlich viel zu einfach erschien. Die Charaktere konnten mir leider auch nicht sonderlich ans Herz wachsen und insbesondere Jen fand ich zu naiv und unempathisch, gerade weil sich nach und nach herausgestellt hat, dass sie über ihre Familie eigentlich gar nichts weiß und scheinbar vorher nie Interesse gezeigt hat, um dies zu ändern. Dadurch wirkte ihre Beziehung auch wahnsinnig instabil und man hat sich nur gefragt, wie diese beiden Personen am Ende jahrelang verheiratet sein könne. Dieses Buch kann man mal gelesen haben, aber gibt deutlich bessere Bücher des Genres und auch dieser Art der Erzählung.

Honestly? Best to go into this one with as little sense of what to expect as possible. Great character development, reflections on parenting, a twisty mystery that kept me guessing. Great on audio.

I listened to this on audio and it was a little hard to follow and concentrate. I think I would of enjoyed reading the physical book better. Still an overall fast read with a good plot twist.

You see your 18 year old son murder a man. This can’t be! What is it you don’t know about your son and how can you help him now? This is the dilemma that faces Jen. She then goes to bed and wakes up the previous day as if the murder never took place. And so begins Jen’s quest to find clues of what could have led to her son Todd getting caught up in this.
I really enjoyed the perspective the author gave on motherhood- the guilt we all feel that we never did enough or did too much. I also thought she did a great job showing the frustrations that come with each stage of parenting and how looking back it really wasn’t as bad as we made it sound.
I honestly don’t usually like time travel but this one held my interest and I enjoyed the different twists.

I loved the exploration of love through time. I also liked the mystery, even though I don't think it was too unpredictable. But that is fine, I like that it makes sense.
