Initially she is puzzled about why but she determines that there must be something she needs to do to stop Todd from stabbing the man. After all, when she wakes up again, everything she does, and every conversation she had the day before is erased.

If you're looking for a fast, popcorn type of read this one is great, so long as you dial in and don't zone out while cooking dinner. They are here, tonight, together, even if they might part again tomorrow, like two passengers on two trains going in opposite directions.She goes to sleep distraught and in despair, only to wake up to find its the day before the horrifying events. As you have already seen the future, it will be difficult for you to face the convincing lies your family members tell. I couldn’t begin to predict my own varied thoughts, and manifestations following shocking news that my son killed a person?

The game at play is a dangerous one and it’s a rollercoaster ride as she makes some shocking discoveries in this voyage of second chances. There simply is no rhyme nor reason to why she's moving backwards, but it doesn't matter – time travel is used to demonstrate how small seemingly insignificant details can add up to a disastrous event. On par with the works of Blake Crouch or Michael Crichton, but with an emotional touch, this book was a overwhelmingly impressive work that, while keeping me in suspense, demonstrated the depth of a mother’s love (and which even made me cry). I thought it was interesting to think about how you could have the knowledge that your kid murdered and then wake up the day before it happened and have to interact with your child. The author never committed to the time travel thing, never really explained how it happened, and there were massive plot holes related to this problematic (missing baby 20 years later?

If you like a book that keeps you gripped and eagerly anticipating the next move, then you will be immersed in this one. I think what I loved most was the suspense and trying to put together all the pieces mixed with such a sweet love story in the end. Beginning about a third of the way in, each resulted in just enough of a shift to the storyline that I could no longer guess what was to come (and I definitely didn’t anticipate any of them). The characters were intriguing and the suspense was excellent but most of all, it was a mind game with a difference. There is an element of moving forward in time from an undisclosed point at the same time as moving backwards in time from Jen's perspective, but it's weirdly not at all hard to follow.

This is a Groundhog Day thriller lived and told backwards, which is such an incredibly smart concept - but Wrong Place, Wrong Time is not just clever, it's heart-wrenching and full of emotion too. Jen seems to be living her life backward, and—with the help of a physicist friend-of-a-friend—determines that the only way to break out of the time loop is to “undo” whatever event put her son on the path to murder.She sees him out the window, but before he can reach their door, a stranger crosses his path and he commits an unthinkable crime right in front of her. She throws off the guilt and knows that she loved her son and whatever choices he made were not because she could have been better. I also found that, as the storyline advanced, even the scientific suppositions felt viable and logical. I think I was just getting worn out with the jumping timelines and background details (a little too much happening).

Other than the f-words, probably my next biggest problem with the book was the scene where Jen is looking through a window and catches a glimpse of a photograph. Checking for him through the window, she’s momentarily relieved when she sees him round the corner…until she sees someone she doesn’t recognize approaching him.And thank fuck she didn't toss in the "catching up with a friend over coffee" epilogue – you know the ones that summarize what everyone's up to after the final act?
