This book felt like it took forever to get through. The author focused on five of Jack’s time loops but the chunks just didn’t feel digestible. The writing was easier to get through alongside the audiobook performance, though I didn’t read much of it on audio. I think this is a story about loyalty to your friends more than about Jack’s relationship with Kate. Honestly his relationship with Kate is probably why this book felt so dense. It also says a lot that Kate didn’t have much page time other than the first and last runs. I just don’t understand why Jack would repeatedly choose Kate over his LIFELONG friends. I think he has a horrid case of nice guy syndrome.

I also thought it was so out of character for Jill to kiss Jack?? AND THEN BE IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM?? Especially because she’s always preaching lotalty.

My favorite characters were Franny and Jill because they seem to have a good head on their shoulders *most of the time..* My problem with Kate is that at first she’s written like a manic pixie dream girl here to fix Jack’s life but then just turns into a dead girl stereotype. Like this is not a fault in our stars.

I also think Kate should have died so this books theme of loyalty and perseverance could stand taller.

I think the highlight of the story was the theme of  “The thing is, you don't forfeit your whole world to prove your feelings to someone. You bring your worlds together. You get more world, not less.” Jack’s mom is a wise woman. I’m glad that for once we get a YA story with involved parents, ESPECIALLY with the Franny Fiasco you could tell that they both have good heads on their shoulders.

I think Jill sums up Jacks behavior this entire book in the line, "You got that right. Because you promised me that you'd always be there. And we're a very long way from always and you're already breaking your promise."

This book made me tired.

I also think that the ending scene shoudve been of Jack, Kate, Jill, and Franny all together. It makes more sense thematically. Jack shouldn’t have gotten everything he wanted.
