So lovely
I absolutely loved this beautiful book. Narrator is my favourite. And the story is simply delightful. Suspend judgement and just enjoy it.

Genius
One of my favourite films is frequency as well as Groundhog Day and sliding doors so alternate reality stories always intrigue me. This one is genius. One of the best I have read in a long time and certainly Rowan Coleman's best yet. It just has to be a film, surely! Well done Missus! X

Silly
Any additional comments?
It was an implausible story, with lots of holes and silly over dramatisation. I am really surprised at how many people rated this so highly. It's rather predictable and the narrator takes herself far too seriously

Brilliant
Loved the book from the start. Liked the characters in the family and friends. Liked the slow start to the romance of her and Michael. Couldn't wait to hear the next chapters. A brilliant holiday read.

A modern take on the film “Back to the Future”
If you’ve ever watched the 1985 film “Back to the Future” starring Michael J Fox, then you’ll probably recognise the basis of the plot of this story. From the changing of past events impacting on photographs right through to a thunder & lightening storm at a set date & time that will reset past with future. Just put Lunar into the character of Marty and you’ll be set. A bit slow to get going but if you can stick with it to chapter 7 the story picks up and does get pretty interesting with its modern take on this older film. Narration also takes a while to settle into believable characters but it’s a shame the sound quality wasn’t great, either too soft to hear properly or too loud - not a good book to listen to on Alexa. Quite a long book, a bit repetitive in parts and slow in others, but if you can stick with it until the end, it’s not a bad story. If you’re not open to the idea of time travel, don’t bother reading this!

Impossibly Enjoyable
An interesting concept and lovely characterisations in an intriguing story. Narrator mostly clear, but dropped to whispers sometimes.

Unusual, a proper tale for grown ups
I really enjoyed this book, it was "different" and the narrator Imogen Church was excellent.

Slow but OK
Slow to start but picked up towards the end. It was OK but nothing to rave about.

a bit repetitive but overall a good listen
Enjoy this and was curious to find the ending. a little repetitive and sometimes found myself shouting at it to get on with it.
