𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬: This was such a good book, it had me feeling all of the feels! I really enjoy the time-loop aspect of this story combined with the romance. It had serious Deja Glitch vibes - with a mix of Groundhog Day & 50 First Dates!!! I loved these characters so much - especially Cam, he was just what Noelle needed! I thought it was really clever that Noelle had a time loop partner-in-crime, Avery. This was definitely needed for their emotional well being. I am really glad they had each other. And can I say how much I disliked Avery’s boyfriend? What a jerk!!!
I did feel that in the middle the book seemed to be a bit repetitive but obviously that goes along with living the same day over and over again. I was worried that they were never going to get out but love the meaning behind the date that they were released from the loop. I adore how this book ended. I look forward to reading more of Jackie Lau’s books!
