From UK bestselling author Gillian McAllister comes an astonishing, compulsively twisty psychological thriller about a mother who witnesses her teenage son stab a man and then seizes on an unconventional way to try to save him. Can you stop a murder after it's already happened? Late October. After midnight. You're waiting up for your seventeen-year-old son. He's late. As you watch from the window, he emerges, and you realize he isn't alone: he's walking toward a man, and he's armed. You can't believe it when you see him do it: your funny, happy teenage son, he kills a stranger, right there on the street outside your house. You don't know who. You don't know why. You only know your son is now in custody. His future shattered. That night you fall asleep in despair. All is lost. Until you wake ... and it is yesterday. And then you wake again ... and it is the day before yesterday. 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.… (more)

Late one evening as she awaits for her teenage son Todd to return home, Jen witnesses Todd murder a man, an apparent stranger. With no information about who the victim is or why Todd would have done such a thing the nightmare begins.
Because when Jen wakes up the next morning, she discovers it is not "tomorrow," but "yesterday," the day before the murder. The horrendous event has not yet occurred, and life is still normal. Jen, mystified, begins to try to unravel and to understand the events that could have possibly led to Todd's unfathomable actions. Each day Jen wakes up further and further in the past, learning more and more details she had missed when she first lived through those days, all the while knowing what is to come. This becomes a novel that is not only a sort of time travel murder mystery, but also an analysis of second chances in life--a realization of moments overlooked or unrecognized.
This wasn't great writing, but it was competent. The plot was logical and well-presented, and the characters felt real. So overall, it was a decent read. ( )

Jen is the most valid boymom ever and this is my favorite multiverse story i've experienced so far. up there with EEAAO. ( )

Interesting concept; terrible writing. ( )

Por momentos me ha parecido muy bueno y por momentos algo aburrido. En general es entretenido. Lo que más me gustó es que al final todo cierra bien. ( )

Absolutely fantastic book through and through in every way possible! Such a unique concept but you truly see Jen's love for Kelly and Todd just to unravel the mystery within...

This book is forever my favorite and will always recommend this one no matter what! ( )
