Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC of this beautifully written and emotionally layered YA romance!

Wow—what an unforgettable read! From the very first pages, I was hooked by the charming, feel-good vibes. It’s the kind of book that feels warm and fun, but then completely surprises you by diving into deeper, more meaningful territory. With a clever twist on the Groundhog Day trope, this story kept me flipping pages, eager to see what would happen next.

This book does a fantastic job exploring grief—how it lingers, resurfaces, and subtly shapes us over time. The portrayal felt raw, real, and incredibly relatable. It reminded me that grief doesn’t just disappear; it evolves with us. I really appreciated how thoughtfully this was handled, especially in a YA setting.

But it’s not all heavy. There’s laughter, romance, and those sweet, swoony moments that make your heart flutter. Syd and Marcus are wonderfully complex—perfectly imperfect—and their flaws and insecurities made them feel so real. Watching their growth felt genuine and satisfying.

One of my favorite parts? When they finally break the time loop and don’t remember each other. It crushed me for a second—but the author delivers a beautiful, satisfying payoff that ties everything together with a perfect, emotional bow.

This was my first Charlene Thomas book, and it definitely won’t be my last. Her writing is compassionate, smart, and totally immersive.

A heartfelt, funny, and emotional ride—5 stars all the way!
