Best book I have read this year !!!!!

Will not say too much to avoid spoiling the plot. I do not care what Genre you usually read, but this is a gem you absolutely do not want to miss. I am looking forward to the next installment more than any other series I have read in the last few years.

One of the best

I have followed this since it started on Royal road. This author has done a great job constantly improving their writing. Bring life and deep emotion to every chapter. I am proud and extremely happy that it is available to everyone
Author did great
Narrator great range of voice and immersion into character

Enjoy!

a really good slice of life.

yes its a little long. but thats the good part. for the journey the MC goes through it needs to be. each section has a charm that makes you smile and some spots have you going yes I remember that. Haha. I mean hottopic goth was a thing. or is a thing?
ok so if you like going on a journey with a bit of the history thrown this is for you.

A surprisingly awesome novel!

I was surprised at how well I enjoyed this book. In this day and age of independent publishing and over-inflated numbers of novel offerings, I assumed that this one would be another read-and-forget. I was wrong.

The characters are all well designed and many of them demonstrate character development, often inspired by the protagonist. The protagonist is, despite her foreknowledge of events, a flawed individual and while her experiences from her previous timeline inform her decisions and actions in the new timeline, I never get the impression that she runs around being perfect because she's already been a long-lived adult. There are periods where it *seems* like she has all the answers, and then it eventually gets demonstrated that she missed something, or didn't think something through, and the author also demonstrates how she learns from her mistakes, but not always perfectly and occasionally getting the wrong lesson out of things. The protagonist starts out as an emotionally stunted person, and the way she learns to make and enjoy connections with other people in her "do over" is heartbreaking in many ways, but also very compelling.

I saw someone make a "Mary Sue" reference, and while it does feel like the author self-inserted to some extent--and almost BLATANTLY TELLS US THAT IS WHAT'S GOING ON--the other elements common to the so-called "Mary Sue" trope appear to be absent. The protagonist does not perfectly fix everything and do everything. She pushes herself to focus and fix her situation, and has to constantly redirect herself to stay on track, and then deal with consequences she can't foresee. She literally fails an environment awareness check at a critical moment and nearly loses everything she had achieved in the new go-around. This novel seems, to me, to be the actual goblin story that the protagonist is in the process of writing, minus the fantasy elements other than time travel.

While this may be written for a young adult audience, it does not read like one, other than limits on topics better left to adults. The adults are adults, the kids are kids, and the protagonist, despite having an extra 60 years of real life experience, has all the limitations of any other 13 year old girl when it comes to how adults treat her and control her life. The protagonist even comments on the differences between her life and that of the average young adult character.

I was very impressed and urge more readers to pick this one up. :)

Not what I usually listen to, but very good.

I loved this book. The story touches on some sensitive topics, which I’m sure everyone has opinions on how they should be approached. But these topics are real life issues, and it’s what really bring the characters to life.

Need the next book

Wow! I was a bit skeptical about this slice of life science fiction, but I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a realistic do over book. And like my title for this review I can’t wait for what happens next.

very good

I really enjoyed this story, even though it's not my usual genre. Time travel is really the only fantasy part about this story and otherwise is more a story about a girl growing up. extremely well written. great character development

short description more for me. possible spoilers



65 year old women travels back to her 13 year old body. woman grew up poor and obese and chooses to use her knowledge of the future to get fit and ultimately make some money. saves police. makes three friends. child abuse enemies. more to come probably

An Easy Best Seller

I was hooked from the beginning and in the end I wanted more. The writer and narrator were perfect together. One of the best books I’ve read this year. Please put this on your reading list. I hope there is a sequel.

A wonderful book

I loved it. Honestly best book I’ve read in a while and I read a lot. I need more, I’m following 464 right now.

unexpectedly good

The story is worth a listen and the narrator did a fantastic job to convey tabitha's feelings. I couldn't stop listening. it's sad that we have to wait a very long time to read/listen book 2.

i was hesitant at first but I'm glad I used my credit on this audio book.
