Such a cute time travel book about a neurodivergent woman.
I thought that this would be a romance novel, and while it is about love it’s more about loving yourself and forgiveness.
Cassandra has always been a little peculiar about what she likes and what she doesn’t. She has been haven’t a really rough time lately. She lost her boyfriend, her job, and was attacked with red liquid all in one day. When she has a panic attack and wakes up to relive the third worst day of her life, she realizes that she somehow was pushed back in time.
I could tell pretty early on that Cassandra was a bit autistic. She is a person who sees emotions as colors, and can often see them coming off of people. She knows that these colors mean strong emotions, but isn’t always able to tell what they mean. She also has panic attacks when she is overwhelmed, but has learned ways to get around these. She isn’t good at relationships, because she doesn’t always understand peoples intentions or jokes. She does well with her boyfriend Will, and she can see a future where they love each other. So she tries really hard to will him back, but that also means not showing him everything. Only showing her best parts. She travels back to when she first met her boyfriend and tries her best to “behave normally” so that she doesn’t drive him away. Only to realize that it’s kind of cheating, and while he makes her happy she’s not sure she can be everything he wants.
She finds out that maybe fixing these relationships aren’t what she is supposed to be doing with her gift.
I liked that she started to bond with others around her, and that people were there for her even though she didn’t realize it her first time around. The time travel allowed her to practice reading people in a way that she didn’t have the opportunity to before and it made her better at it.
