Loved this ground hog day book it was so good definitely gonna re read
Outstanding
I first read this story in the Bully Me anthology. To say that I was hooked would be an understatement. The way it ended in that story on a perpetual time loop of Groundhog's Day but worse? Yeah, I needed to see how it would end.
This was intense. It was a totally different take on Reverse Harem and I loved it. I wouldn't have been able to choose between any of these men for nothing. The steamy times we're HOT

I kind of expected more?
It was a great concept. At first. But reading it got a little dull and repetitive.
The breaking of the time loop was...I expected more. It was too simple and expected almost.
Also, the guys had terrible redemption bits. I totally wasn't feeling it at all.
And what happened with the wreck in the Taurus? That was a not real scene? I'm guessing so. I was hoping for a bit more about that but I'm guessing that was an alternate reality

So that was an…interesting read.
Allow me to start of by saying that I absolutely *adore* a time loop, especially one that’s done well. And this one? If we look at the time loop portion only, I’d say it was done terrifically. Each day felt like it’s own and it never got repetitive. I was on the edge of my seat wondering what’d happen the next time she awoke.
However, when it came to the boys…I wasn’t all that impressed. I can’t say with any confidence that I actually liked any of them. That applies to all the other characters as well. No one had any charm, they all just felt like bad people. Out of the love interests, I’d probably say that Barron was my favourite but even then, I certainly wasn’t enamoured with him. (Especially his rainbow hair, that always ruined the illusion for me).
While I understand that this was a bully romance, usually you expect some sort of redemption for said bullies…I really don’t feel like we got that here. It was kinda just like “okay, they’re in love with me so all is forgiven ig”. No, just no. These guys were truly horrific. Bigoted, homophobic, physically, verbally AND mentally abusive. It was always justified with a simple, “we don’t deserve you so we were utterly horrible to live up to those standards”…huhhh???? That’s just pathetic.
This book, on the surface, may seem quite progressive with some lesbian moms, a pansexual genderfluid character, all this but it all feels dull when the homophobic characters get a happy ending (which is later blamed on internalised homophobia which just doesn’t make things okay at all, it felt like such a cheap justification).
Despite all this, I didn’t *hate* this book. There were definitely some good aspects but unfortunately, all in all, it was a bit of a let down.
