Great review
The whole concept of time travel paints the picture of how present day adults would long to undo their past mistakes!
This would be a lesson to youths!
And from my reading, I already am captivated by the world of impossibilities.

Sounds like it perfectly brings across the "live in the moment" mentality. One many of us could use to learn. I was concerned about the short length of this book, but it sounds like it tells its story and brings across its message well. Thanks for your insight!

Thanks for your review. This sounds like an interesting book of second chances. I guess everyone deserves a second chance at doing things better.

I absolutely love the plotline of this story. Going back in time but remembering everything you knew seems a little bit more fun than itnis supposed to be. And if your review is to be taken at face value, every other element of the book from the character development to the illustrations is awesome. I am absolutely looking forward to reading it. Great review.

"If only I could go back and do it all over again, knowing what I know now." I've heard that numerous times. I've even said it myself. But, in reality would I really want to do it? So much would change with each thing I did differently. Actually going back in time? It would be tempting, but I don't know.

But, reading about someone else doing it? Heck yeah. I love time travel adventures.

I like what you said at the end of the review. "Life should be lived and not survived." That's a great sentiment that needs to be remembered. Thank you. 💕

I'm fascinated by the story. It's been a while since I've read a time travelling plot so this is enjoyable to read. I think Ana made the perfect choice to go back to her teens, and fix her mistakes. Will finish this book :)

I have often thought about this concept where you can go back in time and change one thing. It makes me think about that movie Timeline where they go back in time, step on a butterfly and the rest of history changes as a result of that one event. Great reviews on Amazon and online book club. Congrats to the author on BOTD!

The Watchmaker's Doctor. A compelling make up about lost opportunities, and a desire to make up with our past. We all have a desire to better our lives, but we should take any lost opportunity for make up with ease and look on. It is a book I would recommend for those who wish to build a future away from their past.

I love Sci-fi novels, especially those with time travel on their menu. How interesting to have that clock which turns back the hours, nay, the years to which a special event has to be relived again. I want to know the happenings really amounted to in the end. Interesting review.

A story about time travel and second chance. It seems like the book has a solid and fascinating plot. I hope fans of the genre enjoy reading it.

I've always been fascinated with time traveling. This book makes me remember on of my favorite tv shows. (Voyayers) were they used like a compass liked watch. Great opportunity to go back and live everything again with the mind and knowledge of an adult. This book looks promising.
