I enjoyed it but I think I would’ve liked it more if I didn’t listen to the audiobook.

This is available on audible plus
I went for this book because it’s read by Ray Porter. He is a great narrator, so was pleasantly surprised that I loved it.
Joe is still haunted about his sister who went missing at a fair twenty years earlier. While undergoing hypnotherapy Joe realises that he can travel in time. He is determined to find a way to travel back to the night that Amy went missing to change the outcome of that night. The author does a good job with the time travel for me, I was able to buy into it.
We get a wonderful combination of Joe’s time travel episodes and his memories of Amy which give a heartwarming feel mixed in with sadness at his loss. My heart went out to Joe with his mission.
The writing style is easy going first person which makes for a great listening experience.
It’s such a lovely book that totally drew me in. It is the beginning of a series which I won’t be exploring. This works beautifully as a standalone, Joe was insistent that he wouldn’t use his abilities again because of the potential butterfly effect, so I’m going to leave it at that despite loving it. It’s one I’d recommend if you like a feel good blended with time travel.

listened to this on audible. had me absolutely hooked until the end!! loved the way the main character was written and his emotions were TANGIBLE. had never really read a book with this trope of time traveling and i wasn’t sure what to make of it but the writing in this book is so immersive and really pulls you into it in such a detailed way. i felt like i was time traveling with him it was honestly so good.

I love Ray Porter as a narrator with all of my heart and ears. He’s the reason I chose this book … that said, who on earth was in charge of casting him? Or made the decision for him to narrate the main body of work & Joe’s speaking with an American accent when the entire book is set in the Britain? Joe is British. There’s not an ounce of “American” in the writing to justify this.
It’s the most distracting thing ever and I just had to stop listening. I don’t even know how to rate a book when this happens.
