This was really fun and sweet! It's my first book by the author but I quite enjoyed her writing style. The characters were entertaining while still being realistic and interesting. I'm not usual the biggest fan of groundhog day type stories but I really liked this iteration. I wish the ending had been explained a bit more but I loved them trying to figure out what happened while also doing their bucket list of wild life goals. All in all a perfectly fun book that I definitely would recommend.

This was a really cute romantic comedy! Basically the movie Palm Springs, but set on a college campus. Side note, I really love how Rachel Lynn Solomon’s characters never go to Ivy Leagues. They go to normal colleges and we need more representation of that. There’s fun time travel hijinks and the romance is a true slow burn. I really loved the main characters as well - it was easy to care about their predicament. 
The only thing I didn’t like about the book was that there was a very typical-to-romcoms fight in the second act where one person severely overreacts and yet the other person who barely did anything wrong apologizes. Not my favorite trope, but that’s really a small complaint in the grand scheme of the book.

Great time loop story with deep character development! I appreciated the different representation (body type, religion, race) and how the characters grappled with older adolescent/young adult issues.

I don’t know why I thought at the beginning that I wouldn’t give this book 5 stars 
I expected a cute funny little romance story buuut it had so much more depth and I loved that. I was giggling, kicking my feet, holding back tears and the last few pages ripped. my. heart. out.

deals with trauma from high school bullying, part of which was that

someone had sex with the protagonist "as a joke" and told her classmates, who then made fun of her for it

Very very cute, but I feel like it could've been shorter and still had the same impact. Like there's a story that is told roughly 5 times with very little differentiation. 
 But! I could not stop reading this, so maybe the author did some things right
