Note: I am featuring some of the review books I’ve had for a while, but run out of time to do a review for. That’s not to say I’m not going to read them; it’s just that I’ve fallen behind, and think the authors deserve an appearance here!

Unfortunately (as it seems really interesting), this book seems to only have very limited availability now, and the author's website has been taken down. I'm not sure what happened...

My Thoughts:
I have to admit, I wanted to read Hindsight completely because of the cover. I took one look at that gorgeous cover, and was sucked in immediately. I knew I had to read it, even though I knew nothing about the plot. I'm glad that the cover did draw me in. Even though I didn't even read the synopsis of the book, I ended up loving it.

If I would have read the synopsis of Hindsight first, I probably wouldn't have even wanted to read the book. It's definitely not my usual type of read. Chick-lit is one of my least favorite genres. However, I ended up loving the book. It wasn't your typical chick-lit book. There were plot twists that I didn't guess beforehand. The characters were actually interesting, and had their own fleshed out personalities. They weren't the flat, boring, cookie cutter characters that are in most chick-lit books.

The only thing I didn't like about the book was the way that it ended. I don't want to go into too much detail because I don't want to ruin it for those that haven't read it, but I thought that there could have been so much more. To me, it felt like a very abrupt ending. I wanted to know how things turned out in the alt-universe. I was bummed that there was no answer to that, and it just kind of left the reader hanging.

Other than the abrupt ending, I loved Hindsight. It took the genre of chick-lit and put a fresh, new spin on it. It actually made me enjoy my least favorite genre, which I didn't think was possible. It made the genre interesting and relevant again. It was also a perfect introduction to a new-to-me author, Sarah Belle. I will definitely be reading more of her backlog of books in the future.

I give Hindsight: 4/5.

Juliette is a PR guru who was so completely focused on her job that she neglected her family. She even broke her promise to her young son and missed his stage performance and that was the last straw for her husband, Chris, whom she was sure she was going to lose to Anya, the woman who was after her husband. Torn by everything that happened, Juliette took to drinks and ended up in a minor accident at her own home and she awoke in 1961, in the same place with the same husband and kids but under a lot of different circumstances.

The time-travelling element is what attracted me to look up on this book. Imagine Juliette's surprise and horror at waking up to a different time, in the year 1961 where many advanced technologies are not available. I enjoyed following Juliette's journey and experience how her character developed from the start to the end of the book as she recognized and reformed her priorities. Of course there are lots of drama in the book--like a love rival Anya who wants to snatch Chris away to keep the plot interesting. The idea of going back in time but with the same family is pretty unique and there are little surprises here and there in the past. When Juliette returned to the present, everything changes. She understood why she was what she were and worked on improving herself as a mother and wife. Somehow, I felt that her travel to the past is deeply connected to the present which worked out well.

Hindsight is a sweet and fascinating contemporary romance read which you shouldn't miss if you are in for some 'time-travelling' romance.
