Anyone who knows me knows I'm a fan of wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff. Especially if it involves David Tennant. Which this book doesn't. But it is set in Scotland so that's close enough.
And I'm sure most people know that the most important rules when time travelling are that you mustn't meet your past or future self, and you absolutely must not change anything. Well this book flips that on its head!
Luke is invited to a meeting of "oddballs" who teach him how to tap into his power to travel back in time and potentially right his wrongs. This book had nostalgia, friendships, love, heartbreak. You name it, it's there. I feel like I went on a journey of discovery with Luke.
The book is so well written it's hard to believe it's a debut novel. I could imagine the scenes, the smells, the sounds that were being described. I could feel Luke's emotions with him. And it got me thinking, if I could time travel would I change anything? Would you?
