This is the second book I have read by this author and I liked In Five Years a bit more than this one. I would read more by Rebecca Serle.

Thank you to Netgalley for the advanced reader's copy of this book. I was not compensated for the review, all opinions are mine.
I’m quite intrigued by this premise, thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteShelleyrae, I’d love to meet my mom when she was only 30!
DeleteI almost crossed this off my list when you mentioned time travel but this does sound intriguing. I'm not sure I'd really want to meet my mother when she was young but I would love to meet any of grandparents as young adults.
ReplyDeleteKatherine, it's listed as women's fiction but something quirky happens, thus meeting people from 30 years ago.
