Will give feedback and my review when the HCP union gets a fair contract. Thank you so much for the book and can't wait to leave a review in the future.

Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC of Cassandra in Reverse.

Going back in time is the newest trend in novels.

I've read more novels with this premise last year than the year before and I'm sure I'll see more novels with this narrative this year.

I liked the premise but I found it hard to like Cassandra. I get that she's autistic, on the spectrum, and likes things a certain way.

Another trend; main characters who are on the spectrum and/or socially awkward.

I don't mind these characters but I do find it hard to like them.

I didn't understand how the concept of time travel worked in this novel - Cassandra just closes her eyes?

Seems kind of silly.

Then, she spends the majority of the book trying to re-establish her relationship with her boyfriend. That got boring fast.

I did enjoy the Greek mythology references but I found Cassandra a not quite likable character. I didn't dislike her. I just didn't care about her.

The narrative dragged toward the end until the appearance of Cassandra's sister, but by that time I found it hard to maintain interest in the story.

There’s an interesting premise in this novel, and initially i was happily sucked in. However, I found myself floundering about halfway through, not really caring much about the characters, Maybe it was me? I found it hard to finish.

Cassandra in Reverse was completely delightful and not what I was expecting! It follows Cassandra who gets fired, evicted and dumped on the same day and realizes she can undo it when she suddenly is able to time travel on a whim. Cassandra has autism, although she doesn’t yet know it, and this adds another element to this story.

I absolutely love time travel in books and this was done really well. I loved the author’s writing style and the main character, Cassie. As the story develops, you realize there are other things Cassie needs to set right when redoing time. I truly loved the ending but can’t say too much without giving away the core of this book.

Thank you netgalley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
