I just spent the last two days completely obsessed with Wrong Place Wrong Time by Gillian McAllister, and honestly, I don’t even know where to start because I loved this book.

I did a full immersive read—listening to the audiobook while reading along—and I was hooked from the very first page. This story pulled me in with its gripping concept: a mother watching her teenage son commit a murder and then waking up the next morning… to the day before it happened. What follows is a spiraling, mind-bending journey through time as she desperately tries to change the past and save her son.

The time loop idea was so smartly done. It never felt repetitive—instead, each loop revealed new secrets and layers that had me constantly reevaluating what I thought I knew. Jen’s emotional journey hit me just as hard as the thriller elements did. Her struggle with guilt, motherhood, and whether she had done enough or been enough—it was raw, real, and incredibly relatable. What parent hasn’t had those moments of self-doubt?

This wasn’t your typical thriller, and that’s what made it so good. It didn’t just rely on twists and shocks (though there were plenty!); it dove deep into character and relationships in a way that made every revelation feel earned. I genuinely didn’t want to put it down… but I did, briefly, because both teens wanted to make s’mores in the fire pit and watch another episode of Squid Game last night—and honestly, no regrets there. It was the perfect pause before diving back in and finishing the book with my heart pounding.

If you’re in the mood for a smart, emotional, twisty read that keeps you guessing and feeling, I highly recommend Wrong Place Wrong Time. You can grab it here: https://amzn.to/3IfqnRt
