Cassandra in Reverse by Holly Smale

1.0

Tiresome. I slogged through the book. I knew the twist really early on. I couldn’t wait for the book to end.

I liked that the main character was unflinchingly neurodivergent. Cassandra didn’t feel like a ND character written through a neurotypical centered lens. She was just herself.

Cassandra’s time traveling efforts and focus eventually makes her feel like a stalker. She doesn’t particularly like her ex but treats him like an object she needs to attain and hold on to. Because of her manipulation their interactions feel uncomfortably non-consensual.

I listened to the book and the narrator did an excellent job. Lots of different voices and accents that made the characters really distinct from each other.
