I read this book and I'm still not sure what I think about it. A person is returned to her life at an earlier point, with no warning. She still remembers her life up to the point she was yanked back. No one else knows she's come back. They just think she's crazy. She starts to think that too. She sort of figures out why she came back. Who knew the hospital she was sent to had more of these people who had slipped backwards in their lives? If she does what she thinks she was sent back to do, will she get to return to her life where she left it? How could she, since what she will do will change so many other lives?
Marie, the poor soul who this happens to, has graduated from college, entered a profession, married and had two children with a third on the way. She is advised by a potential patient not to go to her storage building. She goes anyway and is shot. Maybe she died. She isn't sure. All she knows is that she's back in her high school body, and she doesn't know why. Nor does she know how to get back to her life. No wonder everybody thinks she has lot her mind.
This book did give me thoughts. According to one character, the children Marie is worried about will be born anyway. They will just have different parents. Since, as I understand the research, personality traits are dependent on genetic factors, how can that be? The genetic mix that produced Marie's children won't be there. Some people come back multiple times. Does that mean Marie will return again? Is this real time travel? If the whatever that brought Marie back to do something because it deemed that thing was necessary, why didn't that whatever used people in the proper time to do it? Why bring someone from the future to do it? I had so many questions and all from a fiction story.
The book was well written. Reading it as a standard thriller was easy. I enjoyed the story even as I was having thoughts. I recommend it.
I received the copy of this book that I read for this review from the publisher.
