Pros: The focus on friend-love and friends-as-family was good. Time loop plots are always fun and this was a good example of that.
Less a con, more that it's "not for me": Sometimes the teenagers act like teenagers in a way that activated my secondhand embarrassment hardcore. Less a criticism, more a warning that those prone to such feelings might cringe at a few sections.
Con: Kate was SEVERELY manic pixie dream girl'd in her characterization. That's the biggest factor that knocked this book down a few pegs.
I'd say this is overall a pretty good book and worth reading, but the Kate characterization could've been better.

I absolutely loved this book. It kept me curious the whole way through about what was going to happen next. The characters were so well written and all had their own flaws but that made them even more interesting to read about and how those flaws effected their stories.
Such a fantastically original story that was amazingly written
