About this deal

I first discovered her on instagram where she has a significant presence now, updating followers on both her daily writing life and the walks she takes with her dog Wendy in the countryside near her home. The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products. But with this book, I almost expected to wake up tomorrow morning to yesterday, able to fix the mistakes of my past. The most intriguing premise for a novel I have seen in some time, and what's more the story more than lives up to it!

After all, when she wakes up again, everything she does, and every conversation she had the day before is erased. She quickly realizes that she is one day earlier, and each night when she goes to sleep she travels back at least one day, sometimes more. The time loop is merely a device to set up the premise and enable the story to be told in a different way. I like the fact there are genre crossovers here and it works really well, deepening the mystery and sharpening the thrill element so much so you can’t put the book down.Instead, we tend to fly through life in our own bubbles and then when the shoes drops, we're forced to react.

She is happily married and has lived in a bubble where she could never in her wildest dreams think her son is capable of murder. I bet now that I know the ending, if I go back and reread it again, I would catch so many things I missed the first time around. But then Jen wakes up the next morning, only to find that it’s not the next morning at all, but the day before the crime occurred. As for me, I guessed a few things beforehand, but there were still plenty that surprised me and kept me on my toes. She may not know her amiable husband Kelley as well as she thinks, and son Todd may have known his victim better than he claims.She witnesses him stab and kill a man, and Jen and her husband Kelly are horrified when Todd is arrested. The problem with this book is that it takes some time for the reader to get accustomed to the author's writing style and how she crafted the book. They are here, tonight, together, even if they might part again tomorrow, like two passengers on two trains going in opposite directions. Perhaps it felt a little abrupt when we go back to ‘the day’ but if readers are wanting a different outcome, they must prefer darker books. But after she spends a restless night tormented by the tragedy, she finds herself waking up the day before.
