Personally I would hate to relive some moments in my life, as the book states that there are some things that even a time traveling watch couldn't change, I feel normal life is exciting coz u never know what happens next and that the whole meaning of life

I am --and always will be-- a lover of time travel and fix-it stories. I'm definitely reading this one!

This sounds amazing. Your final paragraph says it all. If only we did live every day as if it was our last. Thanks for the review.

From the way you describe it, it sounds so amazing. I haven't read much time travel, but any book that makes me think deeply afterwards is definitely worth reaching for. I also like that the protagonist has bipolar disorder. We could all use more representation.

Not really a fan of stories that involve time travel but I do like the saying you added in the end of your review "life should be lived and not survived". This kind of seems like a serious version of 13 going on 30. Great review!

Time traveling books are out of my options but Anaya's story is intriguing, feels like I would like to know more.

When given the opportunity to turn back time, most people would jump at it in a heartbeat. Although I envy Anaya's experience, I also empathize with her because she learned that some changes are irreversible.

Thank you for the review. The sample was short but sweet. I did not get the full idea of how the book would go until I read your review. Thank you for filling me in on the plot and the 'message'.

I have heard many people say, "If I knew then what I know now, I would make different choices". I believe we make choices in our life according to how we think, not what we know. So as good as it may sound to be able to go back and make different choices, I don't think it would work, unless there was a thought pattern change. I definitely want to read this book very interesting idea. Thank you for your great review.

I haven't ever read a book like this, usually, time travel novels focus on the science, but from the review, it is evident that the main focus is a bit more philosophical and reflective. It makes me wonder two things, how will Anaya deal with being an adult in a teenager's body and what will she change?

Thanks for the review. I read the sample and I felt intrigued, so definitely caught my attention. I agree when you say that the language is very simple. It was easy for me to imagine the scene and analyze my own life decisions. At a moment, I questioned myself whether I had regrets or if I had wasted any time in my life. I would definitely read the whole book.

Each day presents itself to rewrite history? This sounds spectacular and almost uplifting from the way you describe it! I look forward to sampling it.
