All Our Yesterdays

Author: Cristin Terrill

Fans of Dr. Who will be enthralled by All Our Yesterdays, a time-travel adventure, mystery, and love story. Told in alternating viewpoints between the spoiled, naive Marina who wonders if her crush and friend James will ever love her, and the tough, world-weary Em who is imprisoned in a military base and in love with the man in the cell next to her. Marina is constantly competing with her friend Abbott for James's affection. James, genius and prodigy, is obsessed with a top-secret project, and when his brother his murdered because of the project, Marina and Abbott band together to help James unravel the mystery. Em and Finn are hunted and tortured by a man known only as the Doctor for information that they do not have. They have tried to escape repeatedly, and Em is on the verge of losing it, contemplating the drain in her cell, when she finds a note inexplicably written in her own handwriting with the instruction that she must kill the Doctor. These two tales intertwine with explosive results. The novel brings up some interesting questions about the greater good and sacrifice, but never comes across as messagey. The time travel, while initially confusing, does not overwhelm the story with over complicated explanations. Readers will be riveted by the non-stop action, even as they are plunged into the emotional lives of the characters.
