Publisher's Summary
When Nigel Walden is 14, the Unhappenings begin. His first girlfriend disappears the day after their first kiss with no indication she ever existed. This retroactive change is the first of many only he seems to notice. Several years later, when Nigel is visited by two people from his future, he hopes they can explain why the past keeps rewriting itself around him. But the enigmatic young guide shares very little, and the haggard, incoherent, elderly version of himself is even less reliable. His search for answers takes him 52 years forward in time, where he finds himself stranded and alone. And then he meets Helen. Brilliant, hilarious, and beautiful, she captivates him. But Nigel's relationships always unhappen, and if they get close it could be fatal for her. Worse, according to the young guide, just by entering Helen's life, Nigel has already set into motion events that will have catastrophic consequences. In his efforts to reverse this, and to find a way to remain with Helen, he discovers the disturbing truth about the unhappenings and the role he and his future self have played all along.
Equal parts time travel adventure and tragic love story, Unhappenings is a tale of gravely bad choices and Nigel's struggle not to become what he sees in the preview of his worst self.

A love story through time.
This book slowly grew on me until I couldn’t stop listening. The memoir style was different and suited the story. Cried at the ending.

Great combination of SCI-Fi and romance
This book has a great combination. It has SCI.FI for the SCI Nerds, but also romance as well.
Very difficult book to give a proper review on without spoilers.
But just one little spoiler....
You will be sad, but you will be happy.

A complicated and heart wrenching tale
I was worried at times I was going to be left behind by the complexity of this take. The events take place in the order that Nigel experiences them, but that isn't the order of causes and effects. This was entertaining. The sad and frustrating beginning widens into intrigue and some happy times through the middle of the book, though trouble is never far away.

A good story
This was a good palate-cleanser for me 😊 .. much different to my usual fantasy fare. Got a li'l bit lost in a couple of places, but overall a good 'read' and well narrated - although not your usual happily ever after and a bit 'heavy' feeling, it's mostly rounded out and ended in a an 'understandable' way .. (which is a good thing, as I detest the ones that leave you hanging).

Tempus repeat
It’s rare for me not to finish a book but I just couldn’t bear to wade through this one any longer. Confusing time loops are no replacement for plot and character development, neither of which happens. After struggling half way I just couldn’t take it any more and gave up.
