Wrong Place Wrong Time by Gillian McAllister

Wrong Place Wrong Time
Wouldn't you like to be able to travel back in time? Perhaps to make better choices or change your life's course completely. Jen witnesses her son commit murder and for reasons she cannot comprehend starts travelling back in time. Why on earth would her nerdy son kill a person? Isn't her family a perfect one?

To tell the truth, the book sometimes seems a bit long, and some chapters make very little sense at the beginning. However, keep on reading because all the chapters hide a clue. There are lots of surprises in this book that I didn't see coming and it all made sense in the end.

The idea of being able to go back in time has always appealed to me and I have read numerous books on this topic. This novel by Gillian McAllister didn't disappoint me. I recommend it to fans of domestic mysteries who don't mind a little bit of science fiction.

Crave (Crave, #1)
I really wanted to like this saga but I guess it wasn't meant for me. I found the story too slow. There were too many unnecessary descriptions, conversations, and situations. Unfortunately, the characters didn't appeal to me either. I found them shallow and very immature (even for teenagers). To make matters worse the idea of (view spoiler) was too much for me. At first, the headings of the chapters made me laugh a little bit but as I was finishing the book they started to seem absurd to me.
If you are curious, read a few chapters, you may like it more than I did.

The Perfect Neighbourhood by Liz Alterman

The Perfect Neighborhood There is no such thing as a perfect neighbourhood because people are not perfect. People may like some of their neighbours and even befriend them but jealousy and envy are more often than not part of human nature.
Gossiping is what people in Oak Hill like doing more than anything. Gossiping about perfect couples, broken marriages, and bad babysitters who happen to lose two children. The residents of Oak Hill are not ready for this tragedy nor are the families of those missing ones.
Liz Alterman turns an apparently idyllic life in suburbia into a nightmare that will keep the reader turning pages non-stop.
If you are a fan of suburbian mysteries this one is definitely for you. Tale into account, though, that you may not look at your neighbours the same way after reading this. Nobody really knows what happens behind closed doors.

Forget Tomorrow by Pintip Dunn

Forget Tomorrow (Forget Tomorrow, #1) I was on a very prolonged reading slump before finding this book. I hadn't read a whole novel in more than two months, so I felt incredibly happy when I started reading and didn't DNF it, I felt incredibly happy. That's why my review may be a bit biased.
The dystopian society described in the book seemed possible in my opinion. We don't get memories of what might happen in the future like the characters in the novel, but in our society, there are people who are considered more valid than others depending on what they achieve.
I liked the love relationship very much. From the very beginning, I thought that they were going to have a long-lasting relationship.

The way it ended, however, was a shock for me. I didn't see it coming at all!. But (view spoiler)

I strongly recommend this saga to fans of dystopian novels and romance.
