Cassandra in Reverse Is the story of a young woman who has always struggled to fit in, and has been continually reminded of it by those around her. Although the author doesn’t label Cassandra as autistic, the details surrounding her feelings and dislikes are reflective of someone who is on the spectrum. I struggled with this book a bit around the 25% mark due to the speed at which it was progressing (rather slowly), but sticking with the story brought a few surprises and a conclusion that is enjoyable.
The main character loves Greek mythology, so you get a healthy helping of that, and she has an entertaining dry sense of humor. I enjoyed the similarity of this character to Elanor in Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine. Thank you Netgalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing, for the ARC copy and opportunity to provide an honest review
