really fun premise! i think emilie is a more developed character than liz from BTTM, but it still feels a little self-insert at times, mainly because nick is SUCH a good character and gets so much attention. wish lynn developed her female leads as much as her love interests. the music references were cool, but i read it around publication, so i know it's gonna be hard to understand once some of those songs aren't in the trend cycles anymore. i liked how the time loop issue resolved, but the last line was kinda cringe. this is one of those books where you just have to lean into the cheese and not think too much about it.
