Time travel + Greek mythology references = heaven. I loved that the MC was neurodivergent, and it was heartbreaking that she felt like she had to erase herself to fit in. I was pretty much ugly crying at the end.

I'm not a fan of the movie Groundhog Day so this was a negative right from the start for me.
It started slow but ended nice.
Solid 2.5⭐

This was my first book of Smale's to read so I was not completely sure what to expect.

It did take me some time to get in to Cassandra in Reverse because the whole concept of the book was a bit of a mind bender for me. For someone who doesn't typically read magical realism, it just was a bit of a struggle. Once I finally just let myself read and not worry so much then I was able to get in to the book.

I did find so much of Cassandra's life so sad. I did get that she had lots of obstacles to overcome and had done well considering.

3.5 stars rounded up to 4.

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own
