Do you remember the 21st night of September? You probably would if it was a disastrous end to a humiliating first day at college and you got stuck reliving it over, and over, and over. Barrett Bloom is stuck in a freaking time loop. High school was THE WORST and she desperately wanted college to be a fresh start but she didn't want it to be multiple restarts. When she realizes that Miles, the annoying guy in her physics class, is in the same predicament, things get even more interesting. And eventually even a little steamy. If they break the loop, what else might they break?
I love the trope, but it's hard to pull off a "Groundhog Day" time loop story without some pacing issues, so I went in aware of that. There were a few places where the story felt overly long, but for the most part it all worked pretty well. The characters are well drawn, diverse, and interesting. The story is a fun setting and vehicle for some meaningful and timely explorations of deeper themes. And there's a great balance of humor, angst, and swoon-worthy moments.
I mean...
"I could wake up on the same day a thousand times, and every single one would be different because of you. Every single one would be life-changing. Because of you."
*swoon*
