The concept of the time loop is not new and the overarching concept and storyline wasn’t by any means unique, but I was so invested in the characters that I didn’t even care about the predictable storyline. This is a book you can really easily read for a bit of a fun, lighthearted read.
There were SO MANY contemporary references, so if that’s not your thing you may not enjoy this. With the amount of times I squealed over the subtle Taylor Swift references and ended up jamming to a song halfway through a chapter, I could’ve read this in half the time. I counted about twelve TS references through the book but there could’ve easily been more that I forgot to tally cause I was having so much fun identifying them.
I really enjoyed Nick and Emilie’s characters and how they grew and opened up over the course of the story. I felt like I really got to know them and was so happy with the people they had become. Also, whoever recommended this to me with the tagline “Jess Mariano vibes” was absolutely correct and I am here for it!
Overall, this was a fun and lighthearted read. It was probably a 4ish star read if I rated it more objectively but I had so much fun I just HAD to bump it up. I’ll definitely be checking out Lynn Painter’s other books, too!
