Thank you so much to Entangled for giving me a copy of this book as part of a focus group! The below review is my honest opinion of the book after reading an early reader copy.

I have SO many feelings about this book. It’s hard to describe exactly and it’s very hard to quantify it with a single number. Overall, I had fun reading this book - it felt like an addictive drug that I couldn’t get enough of. The drama! Grab some popcorn and sit back and enjoy. If you don’t think too hard, it works better.

Then… when I do think too hard (and I always do), I start to find things that I don’t enjoy. Without spoilers, there was a weird aspect with the time loop that just didn’t hit right for me. And overall, I wish the time loop start had happened sooner. The beginning would have benefitted from it.

This book is told kind of like a reality tv show. We get chapters from multiple characters and it almost feels like tv diaries? It’s odd and I’m not quite sure I liked it. I much preferred when the story tilted more toward our main protagonist, Emma.

Speaking of Emma, my favorite portions were the ones with Emma and Louis. I felt like their growth was lovely and it truly made the book for me. I almost wish we had spent more time with them and less on the others.

There were a few loose ends I felt at the end - like the book kind of just ended without tying it all up, but in an already decently long book, I found it acceptable.

Overall, some things I liked and some I didn’t which is why I landed in the middle here with my rating. Again, hard to quantify.

I’d recommend this to reader who just want a good time and aren’t going to try to make scientific sense of things. Don’t think too hard and just enjoy. 😊

Repeat After Me is filled with a healthy dose of dark humor, a touch of suspense, and a bucket of trigger warnings. Please read them and decide if this is a good fit for you. For those with a sensitivity to vomiting...you've been warned.

One minute you are on your way to a school trip and the next your days are on repeat, every day the same outcome no matter what you do. Would you test the powers and be reckless, unhinged, and uninhibited...afterall, what could possibly happen?

This adventure is told in multiple POV in three parts with everyone hoping to find a way out of the world they are in. Who can be trusted in a place that rewards the wicked. If you can surivive the day perhaps you'll find a clue that can rescue you from this new hell. Just when you think it can't get any crazier, the game takes a twist. Is this a figment of your imagination or is there someone controlling the game?

Sometimes our dreams and plans for the future are filled with bumps and turns. A few will discover that their desires are a tad trivial when given a chance to dissect and sort out mistakes. If you had a chance to perfect that one thing you thought was trivial, would you refocus and change your mind?

If you're a reader who grabs books based on the cover - this one is a fun one! Inside you'll find a fast paced story with witty one-liners, wild adventures, and lots of snarky humor. I think that some of the macabre could toned down without impacting the plot or character arcs. I only wish I was not eating while reading - IYKYK.

It's a wild ride, you never know what you're gonna encounter so take notes, be careful who you confide in, and watch your back.
