The story in A Second Chance for Yesterday is woven around an intriguing and novel twist on time travel. When Nev finds herself going back through time, one day at a time, she has to enlist the help of an old hacker acquaintance from her past to work out what is going on and how to fix it.

The small cast of characters are very well written, with Nev and Airin having a depth and real emotional presence. Their relationship is beautifully told, with the nuances and difficulties caused by the time travel handled in an satisfying and believable way. I was very invested in their relationship, and cried at one poingant point towards the end of the book. The minor characters of Maddy, Jared, Christina, and Kusuma are nicely distinct, and help support the plot - with some very gratifying moments of clarity for Nev in these relationship as she sees them develop in reverse.

I would have liked a little more detail around the parts that Kusuma and Jim Bone played in the background of why the time travel glitch happened, as these were left frustratingly vague - although this is a minor point, and the plot was richly described and had a good pace. The ending left room for a sequel (please?), and I would definitely enjoy learning more about this background if a sequel is written.
