I am really interested in this Review, Anaya has the opportunity to do everything her own way with the age of thirty-five years and finally steps ahead of life.

It seems as if it could be a good book. At times I got lost in the over descriptiveness. It seemed a little unnecessary at times. Such as when Anaya was describing the bench or the birds swooping in. It came off as filler to me.

Even I had dreamed of going back in time to fix past mistakes like what Anaya had done. That's not possible in real life, though. The best I can do is cherish every moment that I got.

Time travel for a second chance at life sounds like my type of book.

It would be so interesting to go back to living life as a teenager while retaining the knowledge of your adult self. I think many people could relate to what Anaya is feeling when she looks back and regrets her lack of sympathy for her parents. A lot of teens seem to be self-centered in that way.

This book seems like it would be entertaining as well as reminding us that our decisions about our life along the way are so important. What you do now will have an impact on the future, yet most people are not thinking that way. Often, it is the "grab for the gusto" now, to heck with what might happen next. A wise person thinks about the future as well. In this book, she has the luxury of going back to a time in her life where she can make amends, do it differently and have a different outcome. Of course, what she can't alter, is the time of her death. This book would be an intriguing read, especially for those who love thrillers, science fiction, suspense.

This is a topic that I have thought a lot about and it is especially intriguing to me to think that there may be unavoidable events, as the reviewer writes

I've always loved time traveling books. It makes me envious of those in the story who can in that I always wish I can time travel. This seems like an interesting story about what can and cannot be changed. I'll give it a try.

There are several interesting themes in this book. Redoing past regrets, time traveling, and I am sure Anaya's bipolar disorder will have a part to play in the story as well. Thanks for your review.

The subject of time travel interests me. I secretly desire to have an opportunity like Anaya, to go back into the past and do some things differently. This book is set to be an interesting read. :techie-reference:

After reading the sample I feel this reviewer gave an appropriate rating to this book. The reviewer didn’t mention anything about the editing but from what I read it seems to be well edited.

Thank you for your review. I will admit that I was not interested in this book at first glance. The cover was great but nothing else spoke to me. After reading this review, my mind has been changed. I will be adding this book to my ever growing summer reading list! :techie-studyingbrown:
