Synopsis

"You have to kill him."
Imprisoned in the heart of a secret military base, Em has nothing except the voice of the boy in the cell next door and the list of instructions she finds taped inside the drain.

Only Em can complete the final instruction. She's tried everything to prevent the creation of a time machine that will tear the world apart. She holds the proof: a list she has never seen before, written in her own hand. Each failed attempt in the past has led her to the same terrible present—imprisoned and tortured by a sadistic man called "the doctor" while war rages outside.

Marina has loved her best friend, James, since they were children. A gorgeous, introverted science prodigy from one of America's most famous families, James finally seems to be seeing Marina in a new way, too. But on one disastrous night, James's life crumbles apart, and with it, Marina's hopes for their future. Marina will protect James, no matter what. Even if it means opening her eyes to a truth so terrible that she may not survive it. At least not as the girl she once was. Em and Marina are in a race against time that only one of them can win.

All Our Yesterdays is a wrenching, brilliantly plotted story of fierce love, unthinkable sacrifice, and the infinite implications of our every choice.

Goodreads review by Emily May on August 10, 2016

I'm still reeling from this book. I finished it with that sad, hollow feeling that makes it impossible to read anything else for a while because you're still living in the book's world and still caught up in the adventures of those characters. And I didn't expect to like this book anywhere near......more

Goodreads review by "That's All" Ash on September 21, 2013

I think this is the first time I’ve written a bad review for a 4-star book. Is that even Goodreads-legal? Here’s my problem with All Our Yesterdays: It was awesome… once I got past the beginning. This was my status update at 17%: ‘Okie dokie. So. This is a dystopian book about a girl who’s already l......more

Goodreads review by Aj the Ravenous Reader on October 08, 2015

3 to 3.5 stars I’m both impressed and disappointed. Impressed because I had no idea this was going to be about time travel so it was a complete surprise because the concept (Marina and Finn try to save the world by going four years back to the past to kill their best friend, James aka Doctor who in......more

Goodreads review by Wendy Darling on September 23, 2013

3.5 stars I liked how the author addressed time travel paradox and causal loop questions, but I felt less enthused about the characters. Full text of review may be found in The Midnight Garden. An advance copy was provided by the publisher.......more

Goodreads review by Thomas on January 16, 2015

All Our Yesterdays made me: - grip my Kindle so hard it left an imprint on my forehead - whisper-scream in anticipation and outrage - believe in its time-traveling, dystopian premise - cry soft tears that landed in my orange juice - drink my own tears (see above) - wish I had read it so much sooner I have......more
