4.5/5 stars.
I didn’t quite know what to expect with this book, so I went into it with an open mind. And DANG did I end up loving it!
Mild spoilers ahead.
First off, I love the friendship in this book. It’s wholesome and realistic, and they all have each others’ backs. I especially liked Franny, who was hilarious and sweet.
I know some people might want an explanation for how Jack could relive time over and over again, but I kinda liked the mysterious-ness of it. It didn’t need an explanation, because the story didn’t focus on that.
The twist in the fourth try really shook me lol. But in this section I really figured out my only real criticism of this book, which isn’t even really a criticism? Jack does some pretty unlikeable things, like hurting Franny (which hurt my heart to read), and he’s fairly selfish (when Kate is in the hospital, he worried a lot about himself). As much as those things made me want to shake him and say “WHAT ARE YOU DOING????”, they’re also just...realistic reactions. Jack has been through so many variations of the same four months - he must’ve been so done with it and just wanted it to end.
