Just because someone CAN rewind time…doesn’t always mean they SHOULD.
Sixteen-year-old Chloe has always used her rewinding ability to keep her life as smooth as possible, flying under the radar. But when the golden strands of time start zapping her with erratic sparks, she fears that time itself might be in danger and reluctantly confronts Jake, the careless senior she suspects has the same power.
Their investigation into family secrets leads to a mystery surrounding an ancient amulet, and the two find themselves scrambling to locate the amulet before someone else does—someone who will stop at nothing to strip Chloe of her ability, even if it means erasing lives altogether.
When she discovers the truth about a tragedy that has shaped her life, Chloe is faced with heart-wrenching decisions—and the question she’s been avoiding for seven years: does this extraordinary ability give her any right to manipulate other people’s lives?
Springback is a suspenseful contemporary YA sci-fi adventure featuring a unique twist on time travel. Even more than being about supernatural abilities, it’s a story about being real, forgiving yourself, and making tough choices.

My Review: 4 Stars
I'm always good for an intriguing young adult fantasy and this one was definitely unique for me. In fact, thinking about the ability to have some control over time was kind of overwhelming. Chloe discovered her unique power to rewind time and live it over again years ago, but an unexpected outcome that resulted from a school assignment made her realize that she's not alone. The adventure that comes from this discovery was mind boggling at times, yet entertaining and engaging.
It's always fun to think about what superpowers you could have, but this made me think about the downside of said powers. Chloe and her friends find that they have to be forgiving and true to themselves, but they learn that it's not always easy.
This is an interesting time travel story with a slight suspenseful mystery that kept me on the edge of my seat.
