This one is my favorite so far! Lee is a great addition to the team. I love the slow burn of Anzai and Tsukasa's romance. I'm invested, I care about these characters, and the story is gripping. Also

doctors and/or scientists need to come up with a treatment for devils...if it's such a problem then they need to come up with a solution that ISN'T killing innocent devils. Period.

I really enjoyed this book. I loved our narrator. I loved watching him be courageous and make friends. I also loved Ms Ice Sandwich, even though we didn't get to know her very well. She's not what I expected her to be, and I think that's a very good lesson: people are not always what they seem.

Oh. My. Gosh. I'm in love with this book. In the words of Nicki Minaj, "No, I don't think you understand...I'm obsessed." I was skeptical at first, I won't lie. A time loop romance is hard to do right. But when it is done right, it's so much fun. I laughed through the whole book, I had moments where I related too much to Barrett, and other moments where I had to shut the book because it was so cute. I had very physical reactions to this book. I loved every minute of it. I have now declared Rachel Lynn Solomon an auto-read author. What she touches turns to gold.
