at first barret was kinda annoying. but i'm a sucker for time loop romances apparently. miles was so cute and they were so cute together even if it took a while. it's kinda a slowburn but it's not too long.

4.0

I really liked the romance here between Barrett and Miles. Miles was sweet and dorky and respectful and I’m learning that I can only do allocishet romances when the guy is like that. I thought him and Barrett had lovely chemistry and their banter wasn’t obnoxious or annoying but felt kind of natural and loving.

I loved that character development was a huge part of the novel for both Barrett and Miles. Barrett is realising her self-worth and processing some trauma related to bullying, while Miles is learning to engage in life without fear. I think it’s super important to me personally to see romances where the people involved have their own things going on outside of the relationship. It makes the overall story much fuller, and the characters involved so much more dynamic.

The time loop underpinning the whole plot was essential to my enjoyment of this book. It is honestly one of my favourite sci-fi tropes. I just love seeing how the same day can produce totally different results, and the characters involved get to take risks and be playfully chaotic. I thought Solomon did a pretty good job with the trope here; it definitely gave the story the direction it needed. I do think certain parts could have been cut out or pruned, because the middle did start to sag with repetitiveness.

Finally, I loved the college setting! Solomon captured the campus vibe really well, especially how that first day of college feels. Reading this has really urged me to seek out more new adult stuff.

So this book was sitting around a 4.25/4.5 stars, but then the ending happened. Without spoiling anything, I believe a large part of it wasn’t necessary, but if Solomon really wanted to include it, it could have been done in a much better way. So I dropped my rating to a four. I did consider dropping it lower but this book is genuinely good and my reasons for disliking the ending in particular are probably down to personal taste.

I thought overall this book was a cute, sweet read. I went into it not knowing anything about it, and I am glad I did. It had a fun shocking element that I think otherwise wouldn't have been there. I did think that middle of the way the book got a bit sludgy, and the ending felt really rushed.

Spoiler

There were two main elements of the book that I didn't quite like. First, how once Barrett and Miles got together, it felt so rushed. You're telling me Miles had never even had an official girlfriend, and the first (I guess second) time they kissed they went all the way. That just felt fast. Along with that, afterwards they were all over each other and said they loved each other within days. That element just felt really fast.

The other element I didn't like was the ending. How Barrett figured out that Olmstead was the connection point was quick but honestly didn't bother me much. What did though, was how quickly it went from that, to a big plot point of Miles not remembering, to him remembering again. It seemed weird to have that plot point of him not remember, to very quickly remember again.

Overall it was a fun read and a cute story. I also loved the Jewish details.

I want to like this more than I did. I had a hard time with how slow the story was. Maybe I was hoping for more than just a romance, but that’s basically all this is. I wanted intrigue and them figuring out the loop. It was much too long for my taste. I also found the science connection to be a bit thin. But it was fun and had a strong relationship development.
