Absolutely loved this one! A bit different to the original duology which was a nice change, but I did miss the dredging / more time at sea that we had in Fable & Namesake.

The mc, Bella, was honestly so annoying, and v obsessed with her son. She was like the stereotypical star of a hack and slash movie and put herself into the path of danger so often

don't know how she survived tbh

I finished it,but wouldn't recommend it.

Really enjoyed this time-loop YA standalone. Emilie felt like a very fleshed out character, I loved to see her thought process and how she took on each V-day. The chapter heading confessions were great, adored Nick. The DONC was fabulous, the book was fabulous.
