It's very rare I go into a book knowing absolutely nothing about it but that was the case here and it worked out brilliantly. I had such a good time with this. The protagonist Cassandra discovers she can time travel at will and that's the kind of time travel device I find really interesting. She was a fascinating character to put into that situation because she's neurodivergent so she uses her powers to get out of awkward social situations or to redo conversations she struggled with the first time round. I didn't completely love the ending but I'm still so glad I read this and it's made me want to read more time travel books.
