- She gets dumped.
- She gets fired
- Her local café runs out of her favorite muffins
She decides to use this newfound ability to change all the broken parts of her life. Get undumped, unfired. And with time on her side, how hard can it be? (Pub Date: Jun 06 2023)
Cassandra has been going through her worst day when she finds out she can go back in time. She can't go so far to saver her parents from their car accident, but she can go back to four months before, when she met her now ex-boyfriend, since he's just dumped her, and as she redoes and redoes their dates again, she also gets to see her job from another angle, as well as her flatmates.
I loved Cassandra in the beginning. She's always talking about Greek myths in comparison with her life, and I love those myths. And she was strangely relatable, even though smart, self-sufficient characters like her rarely are likeable. But the way the book uses time travel—they even poke fun at this in its later half—was disappointing. Everything was predictable to top it off. The only thing that threw some mystery was the woman who kept following Cassandra, but even that, though my favorite character that brought life to the end of the book, the reveal was too lackluster for all the build-up. With time, even all the talk about Greek mythology tired me down, as it didn't add to the story and it kept tempting me to skip it.
Unfortunately, the book was mostly too predictable for me to enjoy it. I like Cassandra's arc, she goes a long way, but even that was already too obvious from the start for me to feel like congratulating someone.
Enjoyable read if you're the type who enjoys the moment, and I wish I were, but I'm not.
Honest review based on an ARC provided by Netgalley. Many thanks to the publisher for this opportunity.
Rating: 3 out of 5.
