A Second Chance for Yesterday

Book Review: A Second Chance For Yesterday

Imagine waking up and finding out something weird is going on. Yes, we might all have that experience at some point or another. But programmer Nev Bourne realizes she’s falling backward in time. R.A. Sinn has unlocked a new fear! This is our book review and recommendation for A Second Chance for Yesterday.

Book premise

A Second Chance For Yesterday takes place in the future and has a sci-fi element to it. For most of the world, people walk around with an implant that allows them to “rewind” their life a few seconds. We have the existence of SavePoint, the creator of this brain implant and the company Nev is a programmer for. Nev was given the responsibility to roll out a 2.0 version, and she did…or so she thought. As she realizes she’s going backward in time, she has these moments of reflection about the person she was and how her past has shaped her.

While losing hope and her mind, she reconnects with a fellow classmate who convinces Nev that they should work together to fix the glitch Nev finds herself in. Clever of the authors, you have Nev moving backward and Airin moving forward.

Thought-provoking and would be a great book club read from all of the conversations that can be had about this book. A Second Chance for Yesterday was captivating and makes you wonder what the future might look like. Would we at this point in 2023 find SavePoint useful? What then happens to Nev?
