super cute and funny...really made me think about what it would be like to make out with younger versions of myself ;) touches briefly on some heavy shit that I would like to know more about...Jess Fink sounds like someone I would totally want to be friends with (and make out with)

More a memoir that uses a time travel gimmick than a time travel story. Jess travels back in time at first to witness (and in some cases avert) her awkward early sexual encounters, then expands to try and fix everything wrong with her life. When that doesn't work, well, that's when our protagonist learns a lesson. Lots of humor with some quick changes in tone that disrupted the storytelling for me.

Foul.
Too h0rn1 & too miserable for my delicate sensibilities.
Nice message at the end, but still...I'd rather not watch a gal's greatest hits of shame and funnies...not when I JUST got done with The Midnight Library.

An amusing introspective autobiographical graphic novel told via a time-traveling older Jess who is looking to fix the errors of her younger selves ... and make out a little. Who wouldn't?

Read by a friend + "time travel" in the title = add to reading list. This approach can result in mishaps. Pros were the illustrations, the length and time travel. Cons include inside jokes and lack of plot or direction. See also [a:Audrey Niffenegger|498072|Audrey Niffenegger|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1367342548p2/498072.jpg].

Main character uses time travel to attempt to fix her past mistakes.

has a few moments where it has the potential to be truly meaningful and insightful but doesn't seem to fully engage with its own subject matter.
fun little read though.

For some reason I thought this would be queerer? Maybe it's because the first thing that happens is she makes out with her past self, but aside from making out with herself it's really super duper straight (which to me is hella boring). That makes it sound like a deal breaker. I still really liked this! But the part that I liked the most that was so interesting was when she tried to intervene when her abusive father kidnapped young Jess. That was the one part that was truly heartrending. The rest was just like goofy teenage makeouts and screwing around at work. I would definitely read an entire full length memoir about that one single incident with her dad and cry my damn eyes out.
