This Time Around by Kimberly Packard – Review by Jennifer Crain

This Time Around by Kimberly Packard
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“This Time Around” is a captivating and emotional read that explores the complexities of second chances, self-discovery, and the power of love. Kimberly Packard has woven a thought-provoking narrative that delves into the intricacies of Josie’s past and present, making it difficult to put the book down.

Josie’s relatable struggles and inner turmoil make her a well-developed and endearing protagonist. Her character growth throughout the story is impressive, as she learns to confront her past mistakes and prioritize her relationships.

The book has an engaging plot- the time-travel element adds a unique twist to the story, keeping the reader invested in Josie’s journey as she navigates her past to fix her mistakes.

Even with the cliched elements of the “high school sweetheart trope,” this book is still a really fun read. I also really connected with Josie’s life in the past, growing up in the 90’s (Choose Your Own Adventure books, Back to the Future, etc.).
