Wrong Place Wrong Time: A Reese's Book Club Pick

Product Information

There are plenty of surprises in this story and once I got into the swing of what was occurring (and once Jen accepted that it was taking place and stopped trying to figure out the how/why/trying to tell everyone around her what was happening) I was able to put on my puzzle solving hat and go with the flow of what Jen was trying to discover. It is midnight on the morning of Halloween, and Jen anxiously waits up for her 18-year-old son, Todd, to return home. But worries about his broken curfew transform into something much more dangerous when Todd finally emerges from the darkness. As Jen watches through the window, she sees her funny, seemingly happy teenage son stab a total stranger. There wasn’t enough build up as to why Todd stabbed Joseph. If Todd bought a knife as a form of protection, to me that indicates that he must’ve felt on guard and unsafe around him and yet just 2 days before he was at Joseph/Ezra’s house. And when his mum found him there he just looked embarrassed and annoyed rather than worried considering the company… many Time Travel books — feel too unrealistic — more far fetched science fiction than I’m comfortable with. If you love a book that pulls you away from your normal thought processes then you will adore this.

She can't deal with this. Finding and finding and finding things which she wishes she could forget. I was so happy to read from an article written by the author that the writing of this book changed the whole outlook of the author towards motherhood which made her decide to have a baby. This book also has the power to influence the reader's perspective regarding the beautiful relationship between mother and children. Pros: unique premise, thoughtfully executed and interesting plot, calm cool and collected ending, excellent use of a literary device, spittin some facts on motherhood and marriage This is my third Gillian McAllister thriller and it did not disappoint! I listened to the audiobook which was narrated by Lesley Sharp. Her British accent is somewhat difficult to understand, but she does a fantastic reading, so I was able to stay with it.But she wakes and it is two days earlier. She digs into the life of Todd’s mysterious new girlfriend Clio, and investigates who the murdered man is – or was. In doing so, she discovers uncomfortable truths about her own relationship with her son; the times she wasn’t there for him because of work, the times she didn’t listen. Can she correct these mistakes? And how can she halt her tumble through time? Ryan’s instant love of a few days and willingness to throw everything away for Jen was a bit too unbelievable.

The story begins with Jen witnessing her son kill another boy and as the police arrive, Jen’s life begins to crumble. Her son is charged with murder, in possession of the knife and the victims blood on his hands and clothes. And, right then, it had felt, suddenly, like spring, even though it began to rain again only minutes later.If you're wondering how this got through editing, you and me both. I will say though, I didn't love everything. For one, I found the writing style to be a bit odd, especially in the beginning. There was an excess of punctuation everywhere, particularly commas. This isn't the sort of thing I usually notice, but it was really flagrant. I’m aware that my imagination is weak in the area of Science Fiction and fantasy — so I’m often out of my element. loved* Stephen Kings 11/22/63; swooning over the love story …. and there have been a few other time travel books I liked very much —The narrative drags on and on as repetitive incidents occur over and over again and we get to hear Jen’s inner thoughts about how she’s not a good mother and that she’s a lawyer (If you took a shot each time you explicitly said she was a lawyer, you’d be dead now). Jen, watching from a window, witnesses her 17-year-old son, murder a man in front of her home. What could have made her sweet son murder a man? Now that he is in custody, what will become of him? The author tells us that parenting is the most important gift that parents can bestow upon their children. We can see Jen wondering how she managed to raise a child who is ready to murder another person. First of all, look, I really, really, really wanted to like this book. (Does this writing annoy you? Me too. This is how Wrong place, wrong time is written) Well played Gilly McAllister, what a book and I wouldn’t be at all surprised if movie rights or a Netflix miniseries offers wing their way with this one. The best yet and an easy five stars.
