Ooooh what's the book you're reading?

Wrong Place Wrong Time by Gillian McAllister!

it follows a mother who witnesses her 18 y/o son kill a stranger outside their house. after he gets arrested and she sleeps that night, she wakes up the day before the crime. obviously now knowing what she does, she tries to fix things. but later that night, instead of going back to the present, she wakes up two days before the crime.

then again - she keeps waking up a day earlier than before

i'm halfway through the book, but i'm really enjoying it so far. i love that she's not forced to relive the same day over and over again, but rather several different ones because of the challenges that come with travelling backwards constantly. lots of recontextualising as she picks up on more details she hadn't noticed before - the power of hindsight and all that

i'm sure you can kind of see where my mind is going in regards to yj..... i'm more partial to either jackie or shauna pov because they are my girlies but i think the concept could be SO interesting with any of them

#its really fun.... the twists got me like HEY. WHAT THE HELL... my aunt rec'd it to me and she is so real for that #i know there are some groundhog day style fics around but like. living in reverse chronological order....... #of course i'm thinking about sometime in the wilderness going backwards. though it probably wouldnt be easily noticable at all #bc no calendar etc. so i think shauna might make the most sense with her rough estimates of dates in the journals and all #OR jackie. start right from death scene and wake up on doomcoming #i would have to figure out like. the Point of it all. otherwise im just sending the girls thru hoops for funsies #i have also thought about adult shauna pov but thats way more vague atm #btext #staghunters #answered
