Wasn’t in love with this book. Don’t know why it took to the end of the book to diagnose the main character with autism. Between the Greek mythology, time
Travel and Cassandra’s behaviour, I just couldn’t focus and where I needed to be or what happened. Glad I am finished but wouldn’t recommend. Book picked up more in the end but I was so disappointed and lost from the constant time travel and poorly written sentences that I just did what I could to get thru this book. Second Reese’s book club book I have not enjoyed in the past few months

Loved Cassies story and loved the message it conveyed. I highly recommend.

Not just your average time travel romance, but an in depth look into the psyche of someone on the spectrum. A multi-sensory experience.

Good stuff. Engrossing, sweet, but not saccharine.

DID NOT FINISH

I only got to about chapter 4, and not one character was likable, not that I need likable characters but that combined with a spoiler review on here that I peeked at convinced me that this one isn’t for me at 13 hours long… maybe I’ll come back to it one day cause who isn’t intrigued by a time traveling neurodivergent? But definitely not for me right now.

Cute, fairly predictable, a good read. I liked the neurodivergent narration but skipped through the bits about mythology.

The Greek mythology got really old really fast. Like, it was too much and felt distracting. The ending irked me. Seemed like the main character went through a lot for nothing. I did appreciate her growth but her revelation at the end felt obvious from page 1.
