the loop system was unique to any other i’ve read or seen, so that was fun :)

i love this book. i absolutely adore barrett and miles and i want to be their third-wheeling best friend and officiate their wedding and get them anything and everything that would make them happy in life!!!
if barrett and miles have one cheerleader it's me. if they have zero cheerleaders i'm stuck in a time loop and i have no memory of ever reading this book (aka the darkest timeline)

What an absolutely delightful read! This book was not even on my radar, but when I had to fill a reading challenge slot with "time looping," this one came highly recommended, and with good reason.
College-aged characters are becoming more grating to my cranky, ageing sensibilities 🤣, but both Barrett & Miles were endearing in their ways, separately and together as their relationship grew, and they were oh-so relatable. Their insecurities and idiosyncrasies were realistic and I was rooting for both of them as they stumbled around trying to redefine their identities against their high-school selves all while trying to break free from the time-loop situation.
Cute, fun, and lovely. What more can I say!

This story is a 1 star because I had to force myself to finish it cause I spent money on the book.
What I like about the story:
- representation of Jewish characters as real full-fledged people. So often in fiction they are reduced to just comedic reliefs to contrast against non-Jewish characters.
- the main character's relationships with their family are sweet and well balanced
What I dislike:
- Barrett sucks. She is an annoying main character and I cannot stand how she acts and treats other people around her. The author tried so hard to get me to like her but sorry. She is not for me. She is obnoxious and "quirky".
- Cheesy. Cringe. Secondhand embarrassment galore. There were times I had to almost close the book and skim with one eye open.
- Unrealistic in all the wrong ways. Of course a time loop situation is unrealistic, but that's not what the problem was. So much poor characterization and worldbuilding took me out of the story.
- A lot of the writing felt juvenile and middle-school level creativity. It's YA but a lot of it feels like it's written for middle schoolers. (minus the obviously not kid-friendly content)
- The way the author writes about university feels like she has only ever seen it in movies and has no experience or research into it.
- Barrett sucks.
- Poor pacing. So many scenes feel like they could have been cut out entirely. Very sluggish to read.
- I felt the relationship between Barrett and everyone around her including the main guy interested and her "nemesis" from school was so poorly developed and surface level.
