See You Yesterday by Rachel Lynn Solomon

5.0

Thank you to NetGalley and Simon & Schuster for providing the ARC.

I am a huge fan of Rachel Lynn Solomon, but I hadn't ventured into any of her YA/NA works before. I was unsure what kind of book I was going to get. And honestly, I really shouldn't have worried, because everything that I love about her as an author is just as prevalent in this book as it is in all of her other works, and it is undeniably magical.

I absolutely adored this book and its characters. Barrett was a wonderful mix of irreverent and vulnerable, and Miles was so adorably stuck up, but never came across as too rigid or unapproachable. When these two find themselves stuck in a time loop, it seems likely that they would grate on each other's nerves, but they simply work.

It was hard at times reading about Barrett's high school experience. Teenagers are mean, and Solomon displays that fact in one of the cruelest ways I think I've read about. It was frustrating reading about how Barrett went through this horrible thing, and the perpetrators never faced any consequences for their actions. Which is likely the point of why it was told that way. But at the end of it, I really just wanted to givr Barrett a hug for going through it and coming out on the other side.

Overall, this book was fantastic. I loved the time travel aspect of it and how it affected the relationship between Barrett and Miles. I really loved the resolution as well. It wasn't your typical ending to a time travel fic, and I was glad to see something different for a change. This was an amazing read and Solomon is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors.
