If I See You Again Tomorrow by Robbie Couch
3.0
This is one of my favorite tropes, and this one is particularly well-written and the side characters are really fleshed out!
There’s hardly any Beau in this, though, and the reasons why we barely see him and why Clark doesn’t figure anything out until the last minute are really flimsy. I feel like Clark barely knows Beau by the end of the book—the whole time Beau just wasn’t around, for no good reason except to cause Clark angst.
Also, minor thing, but this book treats the word “lonely” like the word “depressed” (as in, sentences like “As the time loop kept repeating I went into a dark place, and became more and more lonely”). My suspicion is that depression was deemed too dark a topic for this novel, and was therefore swapped out, so the way characters talk about loneliness is really bizarre.
