“Simple premise and thread of the book is the main character relives her life and can sometime change the future, if this was the case why doesn’t she write this book better then.
The writing style annoyed the heck out of me and if it wasn’t for the fact it was our book club read I’d have binned it after 30 pages. Do yourself a favour and don’t start it. Book club liked it more than me and gave it 6.3/10

“My first novel by this literary American author.
It is a good one to go for and I’ll go away and read more because of this.
Four characters are involved but Miles Heller is the main one. He has dropped out after a family tragedy, and it’s how his life comes back through his love of a under age girl, If the writing wasn’t so go and the novel so well constructed this under age relationship would jar and the book would fall apart, so great credit to the author.
