So, so, so good! I read it in around 24 hours! I absolutely love twisty time travel suspense (a la The Butterfly Effect and Sandra Bullock’s Premonition), and this novel was that and so much more. There was good commentary on guilt in motherhood, the fact that things feel forever until they aren’t, and the deep fear of truly knowing each other. I loved the British setting, and the surprises were fascinating, both the big ones that I didn’t see coming and the small ones that I felt like I already knew.
There were 1 or 2 instances of language and brief sexual comments about a person’s own spouse. Descriptions of death, but not in a grotesque or over the top way. 
The ending was well done and very redemptive!
