The first time around I got about 100 pages in and put it down because I found it too slow and irritatingly repetitive. Jen begins to move back through time to discover what events led her son to become a killer, and hopefully stop it from happening in the future.

Jen, maybe you can help me out here since no one has answered my question on GR about this: Baby Eve wasn’t kidnapped. She goes to sleep distraught and in despair, only to wake up to find its the day before the horrifying events. Thank you to NetGalley and William Morrow Publishing for the ARC of Wrong Place, Wrong Time in exchange for an honest review.Each morning, when Jen wakes, she is further back in the past, first weeks, then years, before the murder.

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?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. She decides she has been given a chance to find out why Todd killed that stranger and perhaps prevent it. And can she find a way out of the time loop she’s discovered herself in without disrupting the future? I was so happy to read from an article written by the author that the writing of this book changed the whole outlook of the author towards motherhood which made her decide to have a baby.

Overall, this book will have you questioning the choices you make and their unintended consequences. I figured the big twist out just a bit early, but was surprised by other twisty turns the journey took me on!I'm usually a reader who has a hard time suspending belief and this book certainly requires some of that.

She's caught in that loop transcending time to events in the past that may eventually shine a light on that murder that night at the hands of her son. All those moments, those interactions, those individuals you come across are unfolding at rocket speed on an almost predestined course. Time travel is the plot device du jour, so if you try to wrangle with the logistics of it all, you will most likely be hella annoyed.

A horrific scene ensues, the police take him away, she spends the evening at the station, in shock and agony.
