Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an audiobook copy of this title for review.

A unique and fascinating story which combines the grittiness and danger of being a teenager caught up in gang violence in South London with physics and time travel!

I was a little apprehensive about whether I would find the story hard to follow, but the maths and physics was explained in a way I could understand and added so much extra dimension.

The characters were well developed and I was able to empathise with them despite not having had similar life experiences which is a great testament to the author’s writing.

The two narrators for the different points of view worked brilliantly and the casting was perfect for the characters. I really enjoyed listening to this as an audiobook and having the two different narrators really brought the story to life.

If you had the chance to change your future, would you take it? Perfect for fans of Neal Shusterman and Jason Reynolds, this powerhouse, mind-bending YA debut follows two teens, a generation apart, whose fates collide across time--and outside of it. Today During arguably the worst week of Esso's life, an accident knocks him into an incredible world--a place beyond space or time, where he can see glimpses of the past and future. But if what he sees there is true, he might not have much longer to live, unless he can use his new gift to change the course of history. Tomorrow Rhia's past is filled with questions, none of which she expects a new physics tutor to answer. But Dr. Esso's not here to help Rhia. He's here because he needs her help--to unravel a tragedy that happened fifteen years ago. One that holds the key not only to Rhia's past, but to a future worth fighting for. Soon to be a major Netflix movie starring Oscar-nominated Daniel Kaluuya! (Get Out, Black Panther, Judas and the Black Messiah)
