It sounds like a good book to get you to think about how you really need to appreciate each moment given to you and not sit around and think that you can just fix a problem after it has passed.

I probably will buy this book (if I don't win it first!) because I found the sample so intriguing. The plot development is evident. And the character development, while fast-paced, is intentional and adequate. I appreciate the story line thus far!

Interesting concept to get into thinking about how we would change our past if it was possible, and even learn from it. Also like how your review is well written.

Based upon the daily sample, this book sounds like an interesting read in general. It is further enlightening to find out that Anaya’s story continues to fluctuate throughout the book between the moment of her death and periods of her life. As has been noted in the book review, very few people are able to relive points in their lives. The opportunity that is given to Anaya through the Watchmaker’s watch is unique and precious. It is appealing that each chapter unveils another layer of the story, giving the reader a robust image of her as a character and her background.

This sounds like a great read. The concept of time-travel interests me, and it sounds like the author uses it strategically to bnb impart a message to the readers. Thank you for the review, it was well done!

I really liked your review. You summarised the book really well without giving anything away but with enough detail to give the reader insight into the book. I also like how you touched on the meaning of the book. Fantastic job. :D

This sounds amazing. I love that it discusses bipolar disorder. Attention on mental health is always good. And who doesn’t wish they could go back in time and do things over?

It is interesting how this book emphasizes living life to the fullest in the moment. We can’t time travel in real life and fix our mistakes and often take time for granted.

I’m drawn to the message of this story—that life should be lived and not survived. Brevity of life is a truth we should all embrace. I look forward to seeing how it played out for Anaya.

This is a wonderful review. It has been written so professionally that I am sure that anyone reading will get the gist of the book. It is true that we should our lives to the best and do what we can while we still can. The most beautiful part is the ability of the author to use simple language yet writes a compelling read. I will add this to my want to read shelf.

I loved your review! It brings about the theme of the book so well! I feel this is a highly sensitive issue the author deals with, because nobody's life is perfect. We all have regrets for having done something, or sometimes for not having done something. I am sure that at ine point or another all of us wish to go back in time to rectify our mistakes,to re-make our choices. Kudos to the author for having a take on this theme.
