This was a decent YA novel with a lot of fun supporting characters.
Here we have a take on the Groundhog Day movie where Clark is forced to relive the same day over and over again until one day things shift and he realizes he's not alone. Stuck in the same day as him is Beau. As Clark tries to figure out why he's stuck, Beau pushes away.
This was a cute book and it took a direction I wasn't expecting based on the cover. What I liked about it was how tired Clark is of reliving this day and having to go through the motions with people who w0n't remember him or don't think about him. I appreciated how Couch made the characters seem real in how they dealt with it. I liked all the new characters that were introduced when Beau enters the picture.
There were some beats that were off for me. How they figure out their situation and how they get out of it didn't feel compatible with the story. I also, personally am not a fan of the concept of soulmates in a relationship sense and that theme gets mentioned some.
I wish this book had at least two more chapters or an epilogue b/c it feels like there's a lot of unfinished business. Maybe one chapter and an epilogue.
Overall though, Couch does a good job with this one and his target audience should enjoy it.
