Thank you NetGalley and Sourcebooks for giving me this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Five First Chances by Sarah Jost is a Women's Lit book that focuses around the character Lou as she falls through time, again and again, learning to become the person she wants to be.
I couldn't put this book down. I am a sucker for time loop novels, especially ones that include romance. And while this book includes romance, it is not a romance book. This book is heartbreaking and inspirational, and it will make you cry so hard you can't see the words on the page.
But don't let the "heartbreak" deter you from reading this book. The Time Loop is done wonderfully, and in a way I hadn't seen done before, which is good, because I read a lot of time loop books. The characters are beautifully written. The growth Lou and Nick make after each loop is noticeable and appreciated. And reading the book never feels repetitive, which is hard in books like these.
I highly recommend this book. But make sure you set aside ample time to read it, because you will not want to stop. And also, make sure you have a box of tissue next to you. You're going to need it.
