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.

This was just okay. I wasn't wowed. Actually, I was kinda annoyed throughout the whole book. The first is a writing style choice which really bugged me: why on earth are you capitalizing random words? Why are you using multiple exclamation marks? Are we texting our friends? No! We're writing a book! Do better. The other that irked me: Bree. She spent half the book whining about how she couldn't ever have Nathan and how much it will hurt when she loses him. I wanted to slap her in the face and tell her to get a hold of herself and just communicate. But no, she had to go on whining.

So yeah, I will not be reading this again. Everything was so dramatic and overdone.

This was just okay. It's definitely a well written book, but I didn't feel very connected to the characters. I found Noah to be a bit annoying, which is fine cause he's literally a teenager, but still, I want to be able to root for the main characters, not groan in frustration every time they open their mouth. I was definitely not the target audience for this book. I can appreciate it for what it is but it's not for me.

This was so much better than I was expecting it to be. Cassandra is such a great character. She has so much depth and she felt so real to me. I love this version of Apollo. He was sooooo good. I love how kind and loyal he was. This whole book was executed very well and I really enjoyed it.
