See You Yesterday by Rachel Lynn Solomon
5.0

The number of times that I screamed during this book? 3. It reminded me more of Palm Springs than Groundhog Day, which gave it a certain whimsy rather than feeling repetitive. And given that this book focuses on a time loop? That says a lot.

I want to wrap Miles in cellophane and eat his little cinnamon roll face. He's just so sweet, cute, and crotchety! And Barrett is hilarious throughout, but she's so beautiful as well. I loved seeing them grow throughout the time loops and slowly fall into each other's orbits. This book is all about taking the TIME for things that you maybe wouldn't have if you only had one shot at the day.

That isn't to say that this book is entirely sweet. Barrett has serious trauma from high school, and Miles isn't without his fair share either. But this book shows the reader that you can't let it break you - rather, you pick up the pieces and begin anew.

Ultimately, I love Rachel Lynn Solomon and everything she writes and this is no different. I'd recommend this to anyone who needs a slump-buster of a book, or just wants to feel something.
