Sometimes life feels like it's in a never-ending cycle and sometimes it really is! That's what Phoebe Mendel learns after reliving the same August day dozens of times. Things get interesting when Jess, her old (and maybe still current) crush, gets trapped in the time loop along with her. Rarely do I get a chance to read a story with fat representation, queer representation, and Jewish representation and this story executes the different identities beautifully. It's a story not only of accepting yourself, but also advocating for yourself, especially when dealing with chronic illness.

I really enjoyed the authors writing style! I didn't realize until I was reading the acknowledgements and then authors bio that this was a debut novel. This is a strong debut! The story was engaging from the start, and I found that I truly cared for the characters. The story dragged a little for me in the second half, but the overall story was enough for me to still really enjoy it.
