thank you to the author and publishers for so generously providing me with an advanced reader copy!
this book was exciting. i know that seems like an incredibly plain way to describe it, but while reading i felt myself grow eager and excited on behalf of both of the main characters. i found myself hoping that they would fall into place together. that’s not often something i feel while reading books. i found myself most excited to see what happened next, to see what gemma was feeling. i’ve never wholeheartedly rooted for two characters this way.
holly james did an amazing job, i would read time loops everyday if they were all written like this.

one of the best young adult books i’ve read in a really long time!
this has been on my list since it came out, and i’m just now getting around to it. i think it’s amazing representation of what it’s like to feel so scared and isolated by your own identity. i loved every second of this book, i even teared up a bit.
thank you, mason. i needed some non-binary representation in my life.

i genuinely did not expect to like this book very much! i’m not typically a fantasy person, but i can safely say that this book captured my attention.
the characters all carry some weight along with them, and i think it enhances the story even more. i found myself rooting for everyone, even when i shouldn’t of been. i’m excited to read the rest of the series.

these characters are so fucking insanely easy to love. i wanna wrap them up and keep them forever. this was a really good book, and i loved it. i was expecting a lot of cheesy moments but this did not let me down.. it was probably one of the best hockey romances i have picked up in a while.

this was a really cute book!! i read it within an hour if that says anything. both of the characters were insanely loveable but they were also so aggravating at times. i can say that lynn painter really knows how to write an insanely entertaining novel. a cute and quick read!!!
