Cassandra in Reverse by Holly Smale
3.0
If you could travel through time and go to any year (or anywhere), where would you go?
I love time travel and time loop stories because because of this very question.
'Cassandra in Reverse' features a protagonist who discovers she can rewind time, a process that sheds light on neurodivergence and her struggle to fit in.
I really enjoyed this book; it was a great escape into magic, time travel, and the vulnerability of the human spirit.
Also, as a delightful added bonus; there's a tie to Greek mythology that Cassandra uses to relate to the world.
75% of the way through there is an interesting twist that is worth the wait.
Quote from the book I loved: "There are infinite things you can do with time. You can save it, spend it, stitch it, Kill it. You can beat it, steal it and watch it fly. You can do time and set it; you can waste it and keep it; it can be good or bad, on your side or against you. You can have a whale of it; be in the nick of it or behind it; you can have it on your hands."
