Sliding Doors meets Life After Life in Sarah Adlakha's story about a wife and mother who is given the chance to start over at the risk of losing everything she loves.
A second chance is the last thing she wants.
When thirty-nine year old Maria Forssmann wakes up in her seventeen-year-old body, she doesn’t know how she got there. All she does know is she has to get back: to her home in Bienville, Mississippi, to her job as a successful psychiatrist and, most importantly, to her husband, daughters, and unborn son.
But she also knows that, in only a few weeks, a devastating tragedy will strike her husband, a tragedy that will lead to their meeting each other.
Can she change time and still keep what it’s given her?
Exploring the responsibilities love lays on us, the complicated burdens of motherhood, and the rippling impact of our choices, She Wouldn't Change a Thing is a dazzling debut from a bright new voice.

My Rating - 5 Stars!
It's a complicated read, definitely disjointed and hard to follow at times, but that is purposely done. With this writing style, the author fully brings us into this difficult to follow, confusing, and fragmented world.
This is a story of time travel, sort of. It's a story of reincarnation. Sort of.
What I do know is that it's set in a world where people are brought back in time, with a purpose to change something.

When Maria is shot, she wakes us as a teenager in her old home. But all she wants is to be back with her husband, two daughters, and her soon-to-be-born baby boy.
What follows is the messy, emotional, and surprising story of Maria's experiences in this reversal of time. Decisions are life and death. Decisions are full of sacrifice and totally gut-wrenching.
She Wouldn't Change a Thing is a riveting and powerful read. This Sarah Adlakha tale will leave you questioning your own strength and decisions. It's a fantastic read. I couldn't put it down.
