Wrong Place Wrong Time by Gillian McAllister -- Restarting August 10th 2025

[Jenn]

Can you stop a murder after it’s already happened?

Late October. After midnight. You’re waiting up for your seventeen-year-old son. He’s late. As you watch from the window, he emerges, and you realize he isn’t alone: he’s walking toward a man, and he’s armed.

You can’t believe it when you see him do it: your funny, happy teenage son, he kills a stranger, right there on the street outside your house. You don’t know who. You don’t know why. You only know your son is now in custody. His future shattered.

That night you fall asleep in despair. All is lost. Until you wake... and it is yesterday.

And then you wake again... and it is the day before yesterday.

Every morning you wake up a day earlier, another day before the murder. With another chance to stop it. Somewhere in the past lies an answer. The trigger for this crime—and you don’t have a choice but to find it...

I'm going to start a little bit late as well. I still have to finish my current audiobook. But I'm super excited about this one!

[Haley]

Just picked up from the library!! I have to work in 30 minutes, so I’ll get to it tomorrow. Cant wait

[Aneta]

I'm going to start tomorrow as well!

Up to pg 21 (view spoiler)[ I wonder what Todd has gotten himself into? Seems like a nerdy teenage boy? Yet he stabbed someone. I hope he isn’t linked to the other unsolved stabbing (hide spoiler)]

[Aneta]

Finished D-1 08:20
(view spoiler)[I wonder if this already happend before but this first time she remembers it because she had a deja vu.

I didn't expect him to aready have a knife! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I wasn’t expecting it so quickly either! (hide spoiler)]


D minus 3 - 8:00 (view spoiler)[ I thought this was going to be more like Groundhog Day not going back in time?? I wonder if Conner plays a role in this. Happy her husband is finally believing her, but it doesn’t matter since the next day will be a new one.

I’m interested to see WHY Todd kills this man?? Bc he would do anything for his girlfriend? It seems like more than that since he keeps glancing at his door in fear (hide spoiler)]

D minus 3 - 8:00 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[I thought it's going to be like Groundhog Day as well and I'm kind of dissapointed it's not. It doesn't feel like a time loop. I'm not sure how she can change anything backwards? She did something I guess and it chaged yesterday (Kelly bought a pumpkin for her)? It doesn't make sense to me.

Also in which time was Ryan's chapter? (hide spoiler)]

.."

(view spoiler)[ I'm interested to see what she can figure out going backwards?? and when does it stop, will she start back at the beginning when she finds what she can? Ryan has his own chapter it's weird. They are random and I've only come across 3 chapters featuring him (hide spoiler)]

[Aneta]

Finished D-8 19:30 and Ryan
(view spoiler)[That poster of missing child and Ryan's badge was a big surprise. I don't think Todd kidnapped this kid but they might be looking for them?

It seems like Ryan chapters are actually the beginning of the story. So he is going forward with it and Jen backwards. (hide spoiler)]

[Aneta]

D-47 08:30 and Ryan
(view spoiler)[I'm on the fence with this book. There are some interesting parts but for the most parts I just don't care. I think my biggest issue is with the writing style. It feels a little bit clunky and not captivating.

But this Ryan chapter was interesting because we found out Kelly is his brother!! I didn't see that coming. (hide spoiler)]

[Aneta]

D-1672 21:25
(view spoiler)[Okay, I have a theory and I think I'm correct. If I'm not I would be surprised. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I wasn't expecting the badge or poster of the missing child either! that makes sense with Ryan being the beginning of the story (hide spoiler)]

[Aneta]

Finished
(view spoiler)[So I was right. Kelly is Ryan and Clio is Eve.

I'm in minority but I don't really care for this book. I was annoyed by it by the end. I didn't like how Clio being Eve was revealed and I really didn't like last chapter with Pauline. (hide spoiler)]

Aneta wrote: "D-47 08:30 and Ryan..."

(view spoiler)[ I get that a little bit. The going backwards is a bit difficult to keep up with since there's not much action each chapter. I WASN'T expecting Ryan to be Kelly's brother at all though!! (hide spoiler)]
