In this twisting time-travel thriller, a woman faints on the eve of her wedding and awakens at the turn of the century in her grandmothers body The night before her wedding, Shay Garrett has no idea that a glimpse into her grandmothers antique Chinese mirror will completely transform her seemingly ordinary life. But after a bizarre blackout, she wakes up to find herself in the same housein the year 1900. Even stranger, she realizes she is now living in the body of her grandmother, Brandy McCabe, as a young woman. Meanwhile, Brandy, having looked into the same mirror, awakens in Shays body in the present day to discover herself pregnant. Did Shay die and get reincarnated as young Brandy, who is about to get married herself? The answer is far more complex and bizarre than either woman can imagine. Shays mother, Rachael, weaves back and forth between the two time periods in this riveting story of three headstrong women grappling with identity, love, and family drama. From courageous, compassionate Shay, who suddenly finds herself fighting against the confines of a society decades away from womens liberation, to Brandy, struggling to adapt to a more modern world, Millhisers strong characters are up to the task presented by this imaginative yet humorous adventure. This extraordinary novel is both a fascination tale of time-travel suspense and a journey to the heart of the bond shared by three generations of women. It is a tribute to survival, and to the triumph of the female spirit in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles.

#haunted 👭🏼 #freakyfriday
Freaky Friday made me think about body swapping like the movie and this book came to mind. It's about a girl switching bodies with her grandmother the night before their weddings in the 1970s and 1900 respectively.

I wasn‘t sure I‘d like it...
Then I started to really like it...
Then it shifted perspective, & I was unsure again...
Then it was too long.
I came to care about the main characters, but ultimately it wasn‘t worth my time.

Mehso-so

I wanted to like this book. I liked some parts...Otherwise, the story seems convoluted to me. It's about time travel but it's messy.
