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!

A solid mystery that combines crime and time travel - two things that so rarely get combined - in a, truthfully, brilliant way.
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!

A great murder mystery told backwards. The plot twists were almost what I expected, but the author kept subverting my expectations. Well done, and I’ll be reading more from Gillian McAllister!
