See You Yesterday by Rachel Lynn Solomon
What i’m not usually a fan of with time loops are that it gets redundant after a while.. but unlike « opposite of always », this one is a real time looping where the day always have the same elements. (Though OOF had few months and here we have a single day). I appreciate that we skip to the important parts instead of having to see the same things over and over after a while; just the new stuff and we moving on.
Gotta say the moment Barret went “nothing matters so lets fuck shit up” was an hilarious loop.. reading her shoving trash cans and yelling wierd stuff going in an out of random classes? Hilarious! 😂 I did need a break with another book in-between however, as the looping started to be a little too long to my liking (- 0,5 stars).. I did wanted to finish it however as I grew attached to Barret & Miles and wanted to know how the loop ended.
Ofcourse the answer was there the whole time- im so happy this looping had an answer! Unlike opposite of always though I almost chucked the book at the wall, scared me shitless I needed to check the ending to make sure. I promise this one had a good ending, thank goodness.

Charlotte Illes Is Not a Detective by Katie Siegel
I love the relationships in this book! Friendships between Charlotte, Gabe & Lucy that we can really see them going through though times and getting out stronger aswell as family bond with Charlotte and her brother Landon.
I love the storyline having a grown up detective! Idk why, but I was getting vibes of Herlock Sholmes & Iris Watson from the great ace attorney game mixed with Enola holmes.

You'll Leave This World With Your Butt Sewn Shut: And Other Little-Known Secrets, Shocking Facts, and Amusing Trivia about Death and Dying by Robyn Grimm

I honestly love non-fictions like this; furthermore it was nicely devided in different categories like the history of death, magic of morticians, march to the graves, and more. The pages layout and colored pages were attractive to read and I loved the additions of “dumb ways to die”.

I had missed so much on this book, wish i’d have read it sooner! Along with Eliza & her monsters, I related the most with the MC’s anxiety; I felt so understood! Though i’ve made great progress along the years, some things I still struggle with like talking to new people & leaving the house on my own.
Man, Fuck This House by Brian Asman

I HATE the monotone 3rd person view from the narration
Opposite of Always by Justin A. Reynolds
When I got aware there was clearly time travel, I was a bit wary.. but no, it was done in a way that wasn’t confusing to my brain. Oppose to other books that have the time skip constantly, this one played more like in a videogame- game over and restart style.
though I found lot’s of inspiring book quotes found in this one.. I was kinda dissappointed. The second & fourth tries were the worst to read, and for that? I’m not happy with this ending, the loop lasted way too long. The author could’ve had made the same point without making him go through the loop so many times..

You know when you read a book and it feels more like if you’re watching a TV show? that’s exactly the feeling I had while reading this! After reading, I felt like I had been watching survivor or something of the like- A love couple reality TV gone wrong where the contestants are to fend for themselves struck on an island with no communication with the outside world.
I also love how the women stayed with each other, and tried to help Zana despite her situation of domestic abuse by that point who wasn’t taking their help. They stayed united through everything, Specially Lyla, Angel & Santana. She also successfully wrote a survival thriller with a diabetic woman and NOT kill her the easy way right away- Santana fought for dear life until the end of the book.
