This is the cutest book about two college students stuck in a time loop. I don't normally love time loop stories but I feel like this one is done really well where there isn't too much that repeats the makes it boring and I love Barrett and Miles.

My fave Rachel Lynn Solomon book to date! I loved the witty, enemies-to-lovers banter of Today, Tonight, Tomorrow, and this one is no exception. It has all that and more. I love the Groundhog twist to the story-- even though it's been done before, I feel this still offered something unique to the concept. The love story between Barrett and Miles is swoon-worthy. Definitely getting this for our collection!

This book was fun and creative. I’ve had a run of bad pucks lately, and I’m so happy to have found my way to this one. The protagonist is a first year student at the University of Washington who gets stuck repeating her first day of college over and over again, like Groundhog Day. The book has surprising twists and I loved how honest it felt to that experience of wanting to be a new person in college but not knowing how to get there.
I loved this book. Highly recommended. Oh, and I also too appreciated the casual lgbt representation of the protagonist’s mom.
Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for a free e-copy in exchange for my honest review.

TLDR: This book is good. It has romance and scifi and it's an overall feel-good experience.

Barrett Bloom's first day of college, September 21st, is a disaster. When she wakes up the next morning, she realizes that she has experienced that morning already - it's September 21st again. She learns that Miles, who she met in physics on the first September 21st, is also stuck in the time loop.

I am a sucker for Groundhog Day-inspired stories. It's probably considered a trope at this point, but I want all of them. This story really exceeded my expectations on how much I would love it!

The writing style was extremely easy to get into and flowed well. The length and pacing of the story were perfect.

Barrett was likable and also easy to have sympathy for. I liked that she wasn't perfect, but not in a "not like the other girls" way. She definitely had a reason for being a bit of an outcast in high school.

The one thing that kind of annoyed me is that it seemed like Barrett and Miles bickered for literally no reason. They were both kind of rude to each other, but Barrett's monologue made it seem like he was horrible or annoying or an ugly bridge troll. I didn't see any of that in Miles' character, and while I think it was great that it wasn't instalove, I found Barrett's constant barrage of him uncalled for.

This is a book that I can see myself recommending all the time!

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the gifted eARC.

This highly entertaining read is a mash up of groundhog day and Before I Fall.

Barrett Bloom is reliving a memorable first day of college again and again, until she realizes someone else is in the same situation. Still dealing with past trauma, Barrett must figure out how to get back to her time and fix herself.

This book was charming and fun without being repetitive. It was a glorious ride.

Barrett Bloom thinks college will be the start of her new chapter, especially coming out of a tough high school experience. On her first day of classes, things start out bad and progressively get worse, ending with Barrett starting a fire at a fraternity party. Locked out of her room, Barrett falls asleep in the common room. The next day, Barrett wakes back up in her bed only to find out that it’s the first day of classes…again.

Barrett realizes she’s not alone because Miles has been trapped on the same day for even longer than her. Together, Barrett and Miles take a journey of self-discovery by crossing things off their bucket list and facing fears. Barrett and Miles grow alongside one another and learn to show their vulnerability. Solomon’s true craft is building young characters that attract readers, even if they’re not always the most relatable. The time loop aspect both gives Barrett and Miles the space to grow but never letting them actually move forward in time, which makes the story all the more compelling.

Rachel Lynn Solomon portrays Jewish identity beautifully in her latest YA romance novel by creating two characters that have different family backgrounds, emulating that there is no one way to be Jewish. With added racial diversity and LGBTQ+, Solomon gives us a variety of characters with differing representation. Most of all, Solomon’s writing is approachable for an audience ranging from high school to adulthood, with witty humor and a love story that will melt your heart.

If you’re a fan of Groundhog Day, this is the book for you! How can you not love Barrett and Miles? They’re stuck in the first day of classes in their freshman year and they only have each other to figure out how to get out of this time loop!
They try everything… Will they ever see Thursday?
This YA book is so much fun, highly recommend it!

Barrett Bloom is hoping college will bring her a fresh start after a messy and traumatizing high school experience. But, when school begins on September 21st, nothing goes as planned. She's been roomed with an ex-friend turned nemesis, humiliated in physics class by a know-it-all, botched an interview for the "Washingtonian" and accidentally set a frat house on fire. Everything about the day was disastrous and unfortunately, she's forced to relive it over and over again. Trapped in a time loop is horrible enough—discovering the infuriating nerd who embarrassed you is stuck in it too is a whole other story. After attempting to fix the timeline herself and failing, Barrett agrees to team up with Miles in the hopes of experiencing a tomorrow.

This is a modern take on "Groundhog Day," the obvious point of comparison. I rather compare it to "Palm Springs" and "Russian Doll." While "See You Yesterday" had a slow start, the story is full of life, mystery and just a little bit of chaos.

Rachel Lynn Solomon has given us a wonderful plus-sized Jewish main character and a Jewish Japanese American love interest. The representation, like always, made me swoon. I appreciate and adore Judaism mentioned so casually in books without it feeling tokenized. This wholesome story is also diverse through its inclusion of sapphic side characters and shines a light on young people dealing mental health struggles. It also has very fulfilling individual character development as both Barrett and Miles work through significant personal trauma.

I think it's also important to note that "See You Yesterday" explores events and actions that may be triggering to some readers including bullying, slut-shaming, panic attacks, PTSD, car accident and a brief mention of drug addition.

I recommend this story for anyone who enjoys cute slowburn romcoms with light steam. It is marked as YA, but leans on the spectrum of New Adult; best for older teens.

It’s September 21st, and it’s Barrett Bloom’s very first (and worst) day of college. She finds out an ex-friend from high school is her new roommate, messes up her interview at the school paper, meets an extremely annoying boy in the Physics 101 class she didn’t want to take in the first place, and sets a frat on fire. When she wakes up the next morning, it’s September 21st again, and she realizes she’s trapped in a Groundhog Day-style time loop — and to make it worse, she’s stuck in it with that annoying boy from her physics class.

This book was so fun. I tend to enjoy a time loop plot, and Barrett was such a relatable, lovable character. Watching her enemies/friends/more than friends relationship develop with Miles was super entertaining. I loved the ridiculous things they did — adopting 15 dogs, making a giant ball pit, buying an ice cream truck — and I loved that the silliness was balanced with Barrett addressing her painful past. This is a perfect vacation/pool/beach read.

I loved this book! Barrett and Miles are so well-developed and their voices are so clear that I became really invested in their story. It was funny, heartbreaking, romantic, and surprising. This book was like a warm hug!

This is going to be an unpopular opinion as I can tell this author has many fans, but I promised honest reviews, so here I am, lol.

I can tell this book has potential, but wayy to many sexual jokes-at least for me. I dunno about you guys, but...no from me to those :)

"And I’ll only masturbate when I’m positive you’re asleep." Pretty sure this is a joke, but really?! We're only on page 14, for skies (reference from Children of Blood and Bone ) sake.
And then later on she says that she ended up sleeping on a couch that people had probably had s.x on or something?? Like, really?? I didn't need to know that.

1.5 stars (rounded up to two stars) because a) the idea seems cool; and b) because I like Rachel's writing style (excluding the sexual stuff).

I'm unsure if this book contains any s.x scenes-I don't know what to expect at this point!
DNF, will probably revisit at a later date.

1.5 stars rounded up to 2⭐⭐, 17+. Would say this is better suited to older teens/adults from what I've read! DNF

This book was so funny and it was really easy to relate to the main characters! I am a freshman in college so this story aligned with many of the feelings I had during my first semester! This book has the element of a time loop which I had never read about before so it brings something new to the table. While some of the chapters felt long, Solomon does a great job at avoiding the repetitiveness that may occur with a time loop plot! I definitely recommend this book!!

I'd been saving this for a weekend that I could just dive into it and enjoy it, and it was exactly what I needed after the week I had. I loved Barrett and Miles, I loved how we got to see characters develop even within the confines of the time loop, and there were so many sections where I just couldn't stop smiling. Also, the Shabbat scene was so wonderful.

CW: past sexual harassment, past bullying, car accident, discussion of drug addiction, panic attack

Thank you to Netgalley, Rachel Lynn Solomon and Simon & Schuster for the opportunity to read and review this fantastic book!

I loved this different take on “groundhog’s day”. While I have seen this trope before, this was a completely original take on it.

Barrett Bloom seems to be destined to repeat September 21st, her first day of college, over and over. Here is where the twist comes in – she repeats that day, every day with Miles Kasher-Okamoto. He, too, is stuck in the same loop. Together they try to figure out how to get “un-stuck” in this time loop. The try everything from scientific methods to unconventional methods. I especially loved their takes on living life to the fullest and trying things that would literally have no consequences the next day. But after weeks of September 21st, Barrett is ready to September 22nd and the all the days after that. She is ready to move forward (in more ways than one).

These two characters quickly become endearing to the reader in the realness of their flawed characters and attributes. This book draws attention to self-induced pressure, outside pressure, body image, and sexuality that is relatable. This slow budding romance, interjected with awkward hilarity, and many teary eyes is absolute perfection. You should definitely pick up a copy of this book – highly recommend.

See You Yesterday was a ridiculously cute yet heartfelt love story that included time travel - which I usually hate - and I loved it.

Barrett was a fantastic heroine who was extremely relatable as a college freshman full of insecurities and desperate to start over after a terrible high school experience. Miles was the sweetest cinnamon roll ever written in a YA/New Adult novel and such a simp for Barrett. I loved reading about these two enemies-to-lovers turn friends-to-lovers turn into something more.

Rachel Lynn Solomon has become one of my favorite writers over last year and a half and I cannot wait to read more of her work.

This will be the next big YA hit! Romance with a touch of Si-Fi, Rachel Solomon has penned a best seller in the making.

As someone who has highly enjoyed Rachel Lynn Solomon's books in the past, I was really excited to receive an ARC of See You Yesterday. I found Barrett to be a likable main character, and I really loved watching her grow and develop over the course of the book. That being said, I feel like the book fell flat for me in several ways — It oddly felt short/paced weirdly, and not in the way that most Groundhog Day-esque media feels repetitive. I think some of the days just felt like plot fillers, or montages, and I wanted to see more of Barrett and Miles. At times, it felt very show, not tell, and I felt like the science-y aspect of it didn't really make sense. Overall though, I still really enjoyed this book.

Many thanks to the publishers for the ARC!

Thank to Simon Teen for an ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Going into this review, please understand that I AM OBSESSED.

Hi, hello, are you telling me that RLS wrote a YA contemporary romance with a sci-fi speculative element??? I was already so here for this! Barrett and Miles were wonderfully imperfect characters to follow through this groundhog day of the first day of college. I don't know how Rachel did it, but poor Barrett is such a disaster, and Miles is such a cinnamon roll, and I just want to protect them both!

I loved the science fiction of it as well as the bit of mystery, but we also get that fun and humorous element as these two get multiple chances to experience life they otherwise haven't had the chance to do.

There's also some lovely rep!
-Barrett is mid-size, lots of great comments and discussion around that
-Jewish and Jewish-Japanese
-Bullying and mental health
-Rehab and drug use

I just really cannot recommend this wild ride enough!

There was something about this one that grabbed me from the get-go. I don’t usually love a time-loop/Groundhogs Day story line, but this one blew me out of the water. One of the first thoughts I had as I read this one was that the banter reminded me of Gilmore Girls (it’s my favorite). Then, halfway through the book, Solomon references what is [without a doubt] the *best* Gilmore Girls episode. While I was already sold on the book, that just further cemented my love for it.

I fell in love with Barrett & Miles. I loved that they were the true main focus. The supporting characters’ roles were kept to a minimum, which really helped the main characters story line come to life. They are flawed and young and just trying to figure out this thing called life, and I loved being on the journey with them.

This book made me reflect back on my time as a college freshman. While this book is definitely intended for a YA audience, it also captures the attention of an older audience. I couldn’t help but be transported back to my college days, especially that tricky freshman year where you’re adjusting to life as an independent young adult without your family and HS friends close by. So much nostalgia.

I loved it. Couldn’t put it down. This was easily my favorite book by Solomon & I can see why so many other reviews all sing this book’s praises.

Barrett Bloom goes in to her first day of college optimistic, determined, hopeful. The day does not go as planned, but when she wakes up the next morning, she finds herself living her first day of college, again. She soon learns that her classmate, Miles, is also stuck in this time loop and has been for months.

With only each other to lean on, Barrett and Miles live countless days in hopes of figuring out the trick to getting out of the loop and back to their regularly scheduled programming.

This book took me by surprise. I loved the relationship between Barrett and Miles, and seeing them both grow over their first day of college. This book beautifully shows that nothing every goes quite the way you expect or intend. It's okay to be a little odd and have quirks as long as you grow and maybe open your mind a little!
