Usually a fan of alternate timeline books but this one was confusing. The narration from the main character didn't help (with clarity) but she does grow on you as she develops throughout story. Not sure if the ending was the best way to wrap things up.

Reading reviews, I can see both sides of the coin. For me, it falls somewhere in the middle. It was an enjoyable read for the most part, but I did struggle with parts. The beginning wasn't strong and it took me a bit to get in to the time travel. The story line was predictable, but I struggled with the ending. I am not neurodiverse, so I don't understand autism first hand and can't speak to that. I am disabled though and can understand that everyone has different experiences. I do appreciate that it was an Own Voice story. Though I struggled with some of the actions/choices of the main character, I did enjoy being in her world. 

This book will stay with me for a long while. Really disliked Will, but I loved all the characters. I was prepared to hate Artemis, but because Cassandra could love her, so did I. While I often dislike the Groundhog Day trope, it worked really well in this case because Cassandra was so well written.

This book felt like someone aged me up ten years, gave me the power of time travel, and then wrote down every thought I had. This made it feel both incredibly relatable, raw, and realistic, but also at times like I was reading through a list of thoughts I could have had by myself and therefore not always the most enjoyable experience. I think this is partially because whilst it did have time travel elements, they were largely unexplained and just an addition to the main character’s life, leaving it still feeling like a contemporary which is very much not my thing (although obviously a me problem). The writing style was very casual, which made you feel connected to the main character and made it an easy read, but it wasn’t my favourite style, and also I think skewed the pacing sometimes. I would have liked to see a bit more of Cassie dealing with her diagnosis, as she spends the majority of this book unaware of her autism and only realised it near the end. I think coming to terms with it, especially after not having even considered it before, is a really important experience that was left out here. Still, I think this book has amazing autism representation, and you can really tell the author put her heart and soul into it. Cassie was an incredibly relatable and meaningful character to me, and watching her story arc and coming to terms with herself was very powerful. The story arc itself was great too, I loved how the relationships changed and developed

especially the sister relationship. I also love that things didn’t work out with Will - sometimes, as much as you try, you just aren’t compatible with someone, and that’s ok.

. I think I would definitely recommend this to anyone who likes contemporary a bit more than me.
