I don’t know what’s gotten into me recently but I have completely fallen in love with books where characters are stuck in a loop of the same day. In this book Jack falls in love with Kate, then Kate suddenly dies (that’s not a spoiler) The book follows Jack as the day is constantly reset after Kate dies. I loved this book for many reasons. As the time was reset after Kate’s death you could see how much Jack’s live grew for her. We get to see him change the lives of everyone around him in an attempt to save the girl he loves. I also love the butterfly effects that took place on this book. It was overall a cute, intriguing ya contemporary.

"What's scary is that you can drift and not realize it."
I love the premise, the plot, the setting for this book but it was until 5th loop? I want it to be over already. It feels traumatized to see people you love dies in front of you and I don't think I want to be able to see it again. Overall, I love the friendship between Franny, Jillian and Jack. It was an easy read.

My reading notes summarize my feelings about this book pretty well: This started off pretty strong! But now it's just repetitious insta-love with a hefty serving of Male Author Writes Seemingly ✨Magical✨ Female Love Interest who is Perfect In All Ways except for the One Way that the author has knowledge of and control over. Makes for a very one dimensional character. And the fact that it's sickness especially. Honestly."
Give me realistic characters with illness goshdarnit.

Summary
Jack King has a major crush on his best friend. That's a problem because she's dating his other best friend and they're both great people who are great together. But then Jack meets Kate, and his life changes ... changes more than he initially realizes. Kate might just be the love of his life, but meeting her throws him into an inexplicable time loop that shows him how the decisions he makes might just be the difference between life and death.
My Thoughts
I really wanted to enjoy this book more than I did. It has a lot of good ingredients, most especially one of the most engaging and endearing character/narrator voices I've read in a while. The way Jack expressed himself (aka, the author's writing style for his character) was great, and Jack himself was refreshingly nerdy and comfortable in his own skin. However, I just couldn't get myself engaged with the story.
I went in hoping this would bear similarities to In 27 Days, but the only real similarity is the broad story concept of going back in time to try to prevent a death. That was the first strike against it for me, through no fault of its own. However, I also found a common complaint about time loop stories to be true. The time loop factor made most of the loops feel irrelevant. The stakes are high, sure. But there's enough story left that you know it's going to loop again. I did enjoy the final two loops, but that was after struggling through most of the book, seriously considering DNFing along the way.
Finally, I wish there had been less swearing. I know high schoolers swear, and I get that there's an argument to be made for realism. But..meh.
I'm sure this book resonates with many readers. It just didn't click for me.
Content
As mentioned, there was a lot of swearing in this story.
Romantic content was primarily undescribed kissing, occasionally escalating to making out. Characters routine joke and tease about going all the way (usually through various euphemisms). In a few scenes, characters cuddle laying on a couch or bed.
Injuries and medical content are non-graphic and minimally described. There is underage drinking and even potential implication of underage alcoholism.

Think Groundhog Day in the 21st century, except with high schoolers. Cute. Intentionally corny and cliché, but completely unapologetic.
