Or this is whatThe story in this book starts in 1995 when Alex Dean is a young man who met the love of his life and has a bright future ahead of him. Or this is what he thinks. But after a fight and trauma to his head, he starts to live every day in a different year of his wrecked life. How could it happen that he had such a disaster in life and killed the woman he loved? And the most important is can he change something?
The book is a bit slow at the beginning and is very confusing because it is hard to understand the story from such different points in Alex's life, but after a while, the reader gets used to it and we see the events that led to bad decisions. Later under Alex's actions the past and the future start changing and Alex becomes a different better version of himself.
I read a few books about time travel and this one is good, in my opinion. It leaves us to wonder and analyze our own lives to decide that we made the best decisions in the course of it....more

But there also is a 7-year**spoiler alert** Wes and Ivy have an intense, toxic relationship. Everyone around them advises that they should finish it. But there also is a 7-year-old secret that holds them together.
This book is full of emotions. In the beginning, I was trying to understand who is the toxic, dominant partner in this crazy love. But later I understood the old truth: there are 2 parts in a relationship.
None of the characters in the book are likeable. There is a determined, but wrong detective; a snooping assistant; a jealous close friend; and a few colleagues who don't show their true faces till later.
The first part of the book is a bit slow in my opinion. The end is unsatisfying. The love relationship and some events in the book don't feel real.
This is the second Samanta's Downing book that didn't impress me. The first one was He Started It.
It is a kind and funny book about a technology society where people are extinct and robots and androids are ruling the world.
The inventor android GioIt is a kind and funny book about a technology society where people are extinct and robots and androids are ruling the world.
The inventor android Giovanni Lawson leaves the world and builds a few buildings in the forest to raise the last human boy on Earth Victor Lawson. Victor's family consist of his father Gio, a nurse machine that knows everything and has a sardonic sense of humour, a small vacuum that behaves as a child and a friend android HAP.
When Gio is captured and taken to the City of Electric Dreams, Victor and his friends are going to find and save him.
The book is full of humour and interesting discussions about friendship, humans and sex. I had an audio edition and the narration by Daniel Henning was perfect and entertaining.
The only minus of the book is the length. It was too long....more
It is a good book about love, unselfishness and family.
When Anton was 18 he saw a woman in the window across the street. And saw her husband abusing her. He found her and helped her to escape from that bad marriage only to fall in love and for years to think about her.
After 15 years they meet again and build a family.
The story is a bit too unreal to be true, but what we can know about other people? This is a story about what we all want to be true in our own lives....more

After listening to around 15% of the book I was ready to abandon it as I thought it was about romance and ghosts which are not my favourite genres. But I decided to try and listen a bit more and happened something unexpected: I liked the book.

This is a bit disappointing story about the town Marralee Valle in South Australia. The cover and description promise some suspense, but in reality, iThis is a bit disappointing story about the town Marralee Valle in South Australia. The cover and description promise some suspense, but in reality, it is more a story about a wine festival and a missing mother that left her 6 weeks old daughter in the middle of such a wine festival one year previous to the story itself. I was planning to give this book only 2 stars as it is a very slow-paced story more about family and romance than solving Kim Gillespie’s disappearance. Only at the end of the book in the last 50 pages where is an attempt to remember the scope of the book. One additional star I gave for the description of this small-town life, their friendship and family ties....more
