I received a copy from NetGalley for review
Was this a book you’re supposed to read in one sitting? Probably not, especially with how sad the end is (spoiler: it’s not a HEA), but I did anyway. It’s now 1230 in the morning as I finish this and I’m so sad. Like yes the story is like Groundhog Day but it gives you hope that the main couple ends up together in the end and like..they do but also to get out of the time loop some shit has to happen.
I will say the story definitely dragged at times on the middle. I think it was the second or third time loop that was the worst one. It was super tough to get through because I didn’t feel like Lou learned a ton. By the end you figure out what she learned in each loop and how it affects her relationship with not only Nick but her other friends/family members.
