The middle of the novel

I thought it was a book about a teenager whos girlfriend unfortunately got pregnant and they had to find a solution. I like books, which are structured and logical, but suddenly there happend something I couldn´t explain directly. I don´t like such situations. I got confuesed for a few pages and thought of stopp reading and asking someone who understood it, but then I got it. It was a time travel and Sam was in his future. Supposedly it was Tony Hawks blame, because in Sams opinion TH is a god and he can do everything. He is supernatural and I don´t belive in such things, but i liked The way it was discribed.
Tony Hawk (at a competition)
I have a lot of questions to the charackters. Foremost to Alicia and Sam. Why didn´t Alicia want to have sex with his ex-boyfriend and two days after that she had with Sam? Why did she want to sleep with him without condom? Why did Sam it, although he dind´t want to have the same future as his mum or his dad or his grandad? Why didn´t Sam answer no question of his mum concretly? Why did he say Alicia he loves her, although he didn´t really know if he does? What did he think when he went to Hastings? It was apparent that he won´t have a future with forty pounds in his pocket. He often doesn´t think before he acts. He alwas says, that he´s stupid, but why doesn´t he try to change it?

I don´t really know what I would have changed. I don´t like the time travle, because it´s impossible. But without them the story could have ended totally different, and it is an important part of it, but maybe I hadn´t wrote it as a time travle, maybe I wrote it like a conversation between him and his mum or an other person who is important for him but not in Hornbys story.
