How to Stop Time by Matt Haig
How to Stop Time was one of those books that completely shifted how I think—like, altered my brain chemistry. Following Tom across centuries while he wrestles with being stuck in the past and terrified of the future hit me hard, especially as a mom who feels time flying. I annotated and dog-eared this one like crazy because it had so many heavy hitters.

Cons
