I loved one timeline in this book, I felt like it portrayed the desire to have a child in a way that felt real, and Julia Whelan's narration was perfect for it.

Unfortunately the other timeline went exactly where I was afraid it would, and that ruined the whole book. You can't just go
and then she woke up and it was all a dream
and claim that's a thriller!

Oof...don't read this if you dislike talk of  pregnancy/child birth/children or are triggered by miscarriage or infertility.

The twist wasn’t great & did not give answers to the main character’s insomnia.

An interesting premise let down by the plotting and twist, When the Lights Go Out was a disappointment
