This book is an interesting take on time travel. If you can suspend your disbelief about the method of traveling, it's an enjoyable character study. 

Cassandra is obviously unique and struggles to connect. When her boyfriend breaks up with her completely unexpectedly and she gets fired, she inadvertently discovers she has the power to travel back in time. Her attempts to "fix" herself and what she learns on that journey not only kept me entertained, but wondering how/if it was all going  to work out.
