Summary from Goodreads:
Every morning, Mariella Adams wakes with a strange electrical energy buzzing beneath her skin. Terrified she has inherited her late mother’s mental illness, she tells no one. But when Mariella discovers her mother’s lost journals with an entry dated after her death, she’s desperate for answers.
The mystery only deepens when Mariella is approached by two strangers, Rose and Parker, who claim to be time travelers from the future. They say that interfering with the past – and Mariella – is forbidden, but they need her help to restore Parker’s ability to time travel before they’re caught in Mariella's timeline.
Shocked, Mariella agrees to help them. After all, they might hold the answers she’s looking for. And the more time she spends with them, the more she finds herself drawn to Parker. As she fights to uncover the mysteries of her past and the secrets of his future, will Mariella discover the truth before time runs out – and Parker disappears forever?
Review:
A twisting tale of time travel and raw emotion, Within the Space of a Second pulls you into a world where love and destiny collide across timelines. Helliwell crafts an intricate story that balances science fiction elements with deep human connection, exploring how one small moment can change everything. The pacing lags slightly in places, but the emotional weight and beautifully drawn characters make it well worth the journey. A heartfelt and thought provoking read that lingers long after the final page.
Received an advance reader copy in exchange for a fair review.
