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. This book also has the power to influence the reader's perspective regarding the beautiful relationship between mother and children. I think the concept of this book is really interesting, but the execution of it wasn't my favorite. I was really invested in the first half and started to get really bored in the second half, felt like the story was dragging on too long and made me lost interest. If you love a book that pulls you away from your normal thought processes then you will adore this.Every morning you wake up a day earlier, another day before the murder. With another chance to stop it. Somewhere in the past lies an answer. The trigger for this crime--and you don't have a choice but to find it . . . A mother's love, protectiveness and the fluidity of time. Interesting subjects and wrapped inside a unique framing. Possible? Probably not, but I know many people who wish it was so. 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. Some readers might feel irritated when they start reading it as they won't understand what is happening in the initial part. I'm still conflicted on whether or not the audiobook was the way to go with this one. On the one hand, the narrator is fabulous and does a wonderful job inflecting various voices for the differing characters; on the other, it made it more difficult to keep up with the jumping timeline and easier to zone out on the more repetitive parts. Take from that what you will. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Oh, and the twists! Beginning about a third of the way in, each results 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). With the clues surreptitiously laced into the story, each reveal shattered my preconceived ideas and ratcheted up well-organized tension.

I continued reading with caution — a little curious — but I had doubts of liking the ‘groundhog’ day feeling — It is midnight on the morning of Halloween, and Jen anxiously waits up for her 18-year-old son, Todd, to return home. But worries about his broken curfew transform into something much more dangerous when Todd finally emerges from the darkness. As Jen watches through the window, she sees her funny, seemingly happy teenage son stab a total stranger.One sentence review: A unique take on a domestic thriller that falls short due to an inane number of commas and questionable other writing style choices I found that the middle got a little slow for me and I found myself getting distracted easily. I also had to listen to the epilogue twice to fully understand it. Again, I think reading the book might have been more enjoyable for me.
