Wrong Place Wrong Time by Gillian McAllister
4.0

This book is following our main character, Jenny, who is stuck in a backwards time travel after watching her son commit a heinous crime. Can she solve what caused this to happen and fix the future, or will she be forever moving backwards? 


The first chapter is very intriguing. It grabs your attention and it pulls you in. The second and third chapter are even more interesting as you start to figure out what’s happening. Then from there, until about 70% into the book - it’s boring AF. Then, in the last 30% it’s like BAM! 💥 plot twist over here and BOOM! 🤯 plot twist over there! EVERYONE GETS A PLOT TWIST!!!! 🌪️ 

Overall, I ended up really enjoying the book and the outcome but I was disappointed that it took SO long to get there. I’m not sure that it’s THAT GOOD that I would tell you to read it and push thru 70% of the book to get to the good part. 

I did enjoy that in addition to the mystery/thriller/suspense portion of the book; there was also some character growth. The main character as she’s traveling backwards and gets to experience her child again at different ages makes her reflect on her life and some of her choices - and that was a little heartwarming.
