Brilliant review!! You managed to pull me into the story and start thinking about the choices I have made. You made me think about what I would do if I had an opportunity like this. I'm intrigued and interested. Well done!

A crisp but poignant read, this book made me ponder for quite a while. How many of us can claim to have lived without regrets? If a second shot at life were possible, would we be willing to take it, or should we be content with our old life and all its imperfections? And even if we choose to go back, what unforeseen complexities might arise this time? I absolutely love books that make me think, and this one was one of the very best among them. I especially loved the personification of time and the clever inclusion of the famous myth of Alexandria's Genesis.
I agree, I also love books that make me think and I guess we've all, in one moment or another, have wondered what would happen if we could change our past choices.
I love your introduction, it's so true!
Now I have to read the book to see what happens to Anaya! A very compelling review, thank you.
