⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for the ARC of Dear Future Me by Deborah O’Connor.

This one was a slow burn—but I genuinely enjoyed the story. The concept hooked me right away: a mysterious app allows people to send messages to their future selves, but what happens when your future self warns you to stay away from someone you’re falling for? That setup alone gave me chills!

O’Connor builds tension gradually, layering in suspense, emotional weight, and a bit of romantic intrigue. While the pacing was slower than expected, I appreciated the deeper character work and the ethical questions the story raises. If you like speculative thrillers with a psychological twist, this one’s worth checking out!
