My Review:
Rewind is an addictive and absorbing read. It’s a stand alone novel from this author, whose books I always enjoy reading, and I loved the character development in it – thy e people in Rewind fit the novel brilliantly, and the changing perspectives only adds to the entertainment.
The novel opens with a bang and continues from there! The plot is brilliantly crafted with plenty of psychological suspense. I loved the way the novel jumps around from one point in time to another, and the way it’s written is so readable.
I sorted of guessed some of the ending but it doesn’t matter with a book like this, where you’re just enjoying every page! To me, this is pure entertainment – but I’d expect no less from Catherine Ryan Howard! Definitely recommended.
Rating: 4/5
Many thanks to the publisher, Corvus, for providing a copy of this novel on which I chose to write an honest review.
