A review by heyfeyrey
Cassandra in Reverse by Holly Smale

2.0

I binged this in a day, and I wanted to love this so much, but the ending absolutely killed it for me.

I liked:
-Autistic representation. God, I felt for Cassandra so fucking much on so many levels, and I HATED the (unfortunately realistic) way that people kept talking to her and about her
-The development with her

Spoiler

sister

, who turned out to be an interesting character
-The premise of the story
-The writing style and sense of humor

I didn't like:
-The big reveal. It's not even a spoiler. Cassandra is Autistic. I thought that was... pretty obvious from the first few pages
-The whole middle of the book is about her trying to fix her relationship with her ex-boyfriend, and it really starts to drag
-When I realized all the information about Greek mythology had no real bearing on the story, I started skimming over it in frustration
-Seeing colors for emotions was a cool idea AT FIRST, and then colors are flying across the room and meeting each other, and it just got ridiculous
-The ending
-The ending
-THE FUCKING ENDING
-The ending ruined the entire premise of the story
