The concept of this book is interesting, with the time travel. I am not sold on the main character being on the spectrum. It was reminiscent of Eleanor Oliphant. The book didn't fully interest me until the second half.

I really enjoyed the story telling and Cassandra’s many lives. It feels very original and relatable at the same time. I love the repair she is able to have in different parts of her life. Only a 4 because the story seemed to go on a lil longer than j expected. But it was so worth it!

Pidin tästä kirjasta jotenkin paljon enemmän kuin olisin ajatellut ennakkoon!
Tässä oli sopivan kevyt ote, mutta myös vakavia aiheita. Kiinnostavasti yhdistetty aikamatkailua, autismia, ihmissuhteita ja työelämän vaatimuksia.

Absolutely breathtakingly poignant and heart wrenchingly brilliant. If you can’t tell I loved this book unconditionally in its entirety.
The day to day saga and struggles of someone living with autism were open, honest, sometimes funny but always relatable on some level or other even though I’m not on the spectrum myself officially, although I’ve started to empathise with the main character so many times I’m slightly considering the possibility on some level. I think a lot of the moments were entirely recognisable though to most of us especially the social awkwardness and wanting to express the frustrations in a formal setting at work but being unable to due to social conformity and protocol. The whole premise behind the book of time travel and going back to endlessly correct but not necessarily get any perfection or the results you want were genius and hugely enjoyable to read.
The added level of Greek mythology was incredibly well done, I like / dabble in the likes of mythology but am by no means an expert. The references entirely added to the storyline without requiring any prior knowledge or being patronising to any degree.
Honestly a brilliant read, I’m devastated I’ve finished it, would love to read more.

DNF. listened to it so just speed through which is mostly the same as DNF. Not for me. Didn’t love tone or characters.

Repetitive and dull. Character deceits her way through the book and thinks she isn’t lying to others to get the outcome she wants. The book was slightly better when the sister entered the scene but otherwise it was awful.

This book started out good and the time travel was a fun twist. The ending I thought would never come. I felt like it was dragged on and that there were parts missing that made it confusing.
