Sam time travels to 1995 and suddenly her mother makes sense. Ever wonder what your parents were like before you came along?


The year is 2025 and Sam and her mother do not understand each other at all; they care about totally different things. One day, when Sam's grandmother becomes ill, Sam has a total blowout with her mum. And then, suddenly it's 1995 and Sam has to repair the past to save her family's future.


This book explores the impact immigration can have on families for generations. It explores racism, and it made me think about the stories behind why people are the way they are. It's completely addictive and I'm so sad I can't read it anymore.
