"The Backtrack" by Erin LaRosa impressed me with its unique twist on a familiar concept, using timeline hops through a playlist to allow Sam to reflect on past events and "what ifs" while staying in the present. I particularly enjoyed how Sam was able to involve [name redacted] in her experiences, helping them understand what she was seeing. However, the book skimmed over some heavy familial issues and resolved them too easily, which detracted slightly from the overall impact, earning it a half-star deduction.

Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for providing me this ARC in exchange for my honest review.
