A review by jonetta
Back Again by Susan May
3.0
Dawn Graham had a peculiar experience as a young teen that forever changed her life. Occasionally plagued with what she called "slips" where she lost track of time, Dawn developed coping mechanisms to prevent these occurrences. Then tragedy struck and she was destined to repeat that same period of time, over and over again, desperately attempting to change the horrible outcome.
This was a very strange story that developed slowly, taking almost half of the book for me to grasp what was going on. Even when it became clearer, there was still much to untangle. I was hooked early but when Dawn began reliving that tragedy over and over again, the repetition became a bit tedious. I know it was necessary but lots of the details could have been trimmed.
Despite the tedium found late in the story, this book was compelling, reminiscent of my beloved old TV series, The Twilight Zone. It's a puzzler that's highly interesting, eerie and bizarre, which is a really good thing! Highly recommend. 3.5 stars
