3.5⭐I'm gonna start off by saying that the sibling dynamic is the best thing about this book. It's not perfect, as no relationship is, but it felt realistic and, as an older sister to a younger brother myself, it pulled on my heart strings. Was this the best thing I've read? No. But it was light, funny and it reminded me of 2000s rom-coms. I really hoped we'd get to see more iterations of the loop, but the one we did get to see was heartwarming.
I adored this book. I was hooked from the second to last sentence of the first chapter - "Please remember me, Gemma". We've seen time loop stories again and again. But I loved this take because typically in time loops, we see the moment of realization from the only person who knows they're in a time loop. The story progresses by the main character needing to convince everyone around them and/or stop the loop themselves. I love that this inverts this. At the end of chapter 1 we are set up with the understanding that someone else knows they're in a loop but the main character whose perspective we're seeing isn't that person. I also loved the element of familial struggles. The way out of this glitch is not just one event or one person or one choice. Jack has my heart.
