I am a sucker for time loop books.

See You Tomorrow is the perfect amount of cheesy, lighthearted and fun while also exploring the main character’s insecurities, faults and worries. 

-Barrett is plus sized, Jewish and wears glasses! 
-Miles is Jewish and Japanese American 
-Her mother’s sexuality is not labeled but it says she has been with men and women. She is in a relationship with a woman.

CW quoted from the author:
PTSD, panic attacks, sexual harassment (past), bullying (past)

As a time-loop fan, I’m thankful to NetGalley and Simon and Schuster Children‘s Publishing for sending me an eARC of See You Yesterday by Rachel Lynn Solomon! It was such fun to dive into this story with the MC Barrett Bloom as her first day of college goes horribly wrong, followed by the revelation that she’s stuck in a time-loop alongside Miles, a bookish and curt student from her Physics 101 class. These sweet and relatable leads build up a strong dynamic that encourages you to root for them, and the character evolution they’re each given on their own is well-written, too. The wry humor, the solid handling of the time-loop mechanics, and the deft execution of most of the representation (mental health, Judaism, plus-size) are additional pluses. My only major issue is with Miles falling into the Sexually Inexperienced Asian Man stereotype, which the author has already used in last year’s adult contemporary romance The Ex Talk. Overall, See You Yesterday is a book that time-loop lovers should check out once it’s published on May 17th. If you want my full review, you can hop on over to my blog http://www.2centscritic.com/!
