I love this book. I didn't have any expectations when I went in outside of it would probably be a romcom. It was so much more than that. This book is about Greek mythology, personal growth, grief, vulnerability, and autism. So glad I gave this a try and saw it through to the end.
3.5 stars rounded down because there were far too many Greek mythology references. I debated ordering a Greek myth anthology just to understand what was going on half the time.
It took a bit to set up the key parts of the story, but I really enjoyed it once we got there (about 70% of the way through…)

An interesting take on the groundhogs day theme. I really liked Cassandra as the main character; yes she was trying to change herself for a man she’s incompatible with and a job she hated initially but luckily it becomes a story of personal growth and coming back to family and your true self.
Almost stopped listening, but I really enjoyed the second half. Glad I was too busy to find a different book
I am in love with these characters and the lessons they learn along the way. Seeing an adult MC with autism was such a beautiful thing!
I thought this sounded interesting, it's set in London with a woman on the spectrum who acquires the ability to time travel. She uses it to try to redo her life and prevent her boyfriend from breaking up with her and her boss from firing her - but she learns something else about life.
I struggled with this book and the timeline on audio and her obsession with her ex, Will. I understood from the beginning about her autism, but the book really only got great once she recognized it about herself, which was quite late.

Another time travel/Groundhog Day type book, which is the third that I have read within a year, so the concept is a little tired. I'm rounding up to 3 stars because that's not the author's fault. It was kind of cute, but it did get a little annoying, to be honest.
This book had a lot going on, but a cute story on how people on the spectrum view the world.

3.5? This was an easy read with a fun concept, and there were some good lessons in the end, but I’ll admit I was ready by the end for it to be over. Lots of buildup without too much surprise. Very Groundhog’s Day-esque but with more Greek mythology references. But I’m a sucker for time travel, English settings, pretty good endings, and Greek mythology, I guess, so it was a nice break from some heavier stuff.
