“WRONG PLACE WRONG TIME” by Gillian McAllister

I am so impressed with the book “Wrong place wrong time” by Gillian McAllister.
I cannot believe how the writer has imagined this plot and how she wrote each chapter, so it felt perfectly well proportioned for the back-in-time story.

While reading the book, I felt like the writer held a mirror to my face at all times.
Only having wisdom gained by my actual age could I look back on my youth and be aware of things in a way that, when I was young, I could not be.

And how endearing was Jen, the main character, to me when she realized that when she was young she did not appreciate her youth and the beauty that comes with it.

“She runs a hand down her side, underneath the covers.
Yep. Prominent hip bones. She is much younger.

It’s Jen from photographs. It’s Jen from her wedding day. 
Jen has looked back at this Jen often, thought wistfully that she didn’t know how great she looked. 

She’d focused on her strong nose, her wild hair, but, look: bright, clear skin.
Cheekbones.
Youth.
You can’t fake it.
There isn’t a single line on her face while it is at rest.

She brings a hand to her skin, which yields like bread dough, springy and full of collagen, not the crêpe paper that awaits her at forty.”
