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.

There's the big bronze W that stands for What Did You Just Do? and Who Are You Trying to Fool? and Why Did You Think College Would Be Any Different?
This gravity-based gimmick is also unconnected to the way the protagonists got stuck in the first place (which seems to have nothing to do with altitude).
I agree with the choice to make the method unrelated to emotion/character development/etc, as otherwise the rest of the plot wouldn't make sense. It just needed to be something that would be impossible to do by accident, e.g. performing some high-powered physics procedure in the university labs, instead of just descending to a certain altitude.
Graphic: Bullying
Moderate: Confinement and Sexual content
Minor: Fatphobia and Racism
Confinement: Does being trapped in a time loop count?Sexual content: There is a sex scene, and occasional discussion of the topic.
Bullying: Barrett has vivid flashbacks to bullying she experienced at school.
Racism: Miles describes people not believing that he's
Fatphobia: Implied during Barrett's time at school.
There is no antisemitism towards Jewish characters in the book.
There is no biphobia towards Barrett's mother, who is bisexual.

What an absolutely delightful read! This book was not even on my radar, but when I had to fill a reading challenge slot with "time looping," this one came highly recommended, and with good reason.
College-aged characters are becoming more grating to my cranky, ageing sensibilities 🤣, but both Barrett & Miles were endearing in their ways, separately and together as their relationship grew, and they were oh-so relatable. Their insecurities and idiosyncrasies were realistic and I was rooting for both of them as they stumbled around trying to redefine their identities against their high-school selves all while trying to break free from the time-loop situation.
Cute, fun, and lovely. What more can I say!
