Repeat after Me

She’s about to have a serious temporal tantrum.

In retrospect, I probably should have passed on the ceviche.

It was already a weird Friday. My class is stuck on an eerily remote island for our senior trip, I’m pretty sure Mr. D (“call me Max”) is hiding something from us, my ex–best friend turned nemesis keeps stealing my candy, and tonight’s plan for my boyfriend and me to finally lose our virginity to each other is going hellishly.

I mean, ceviche is delicious, don’t get me wrong. But a dish made from a supposedly immortal octopus should really come with a warning label.

Caution: consuming a telepathic sea creature of unknown origin may result in immortality, no consequences to any actions, and getting stuck in a time loop for all of eternity.

Now every morning I wake up, and it’s the same Friday all over again. Same annoying classmates. Same island suspended in time by an evil oyster farmer with a God complex. Same outrageous candy theft. The only person I can count on to keep me from losing my grip on this new reality is Louis, my best friend who knows me better than anyone else in this world.

This should be a cephalopod-induced nightmare but somehow—in some ridiculous way—I feel like I’m experiencing the extraordinary, the gift of endless opportunities to get things right. But when I wake up every morning and it’s Friday again, sometimes it feels more like a never-ending prison sentence.

They say some things are worse than death…

…guess I’m about to find out.

Needs more hype.

This is definitely a YA book, so there’s no smut, but it’s still so slept on. Good storyline, kept me guessing. FUNNY (as long as you like dark humor). Just all around enjoyable. Some might call it “confusing” but I promise you, if you finish the book, most of your questions will be answered. And the ones that aren’t answered? Well that’s what makes it so great!!

Finished in one day

Started the book this morning and finished tonight. I feel like this book is best enjoyed in one sitting or at minimum a short period. There is time travel, time loops, etc. And things are easily missed if read over a long time.

If you like dark humor and not opposed to sexual (but not spicy) scenes/jokes, this is a good book. It does take about 30% of the book to really get good but when it does I just wanted to keep reading.

You will have many questions throughout the book and are left with several more unanswered by the end. If you like everything spelled out exactly, you may feel the ending unsatisfying.

Overall a fun story with several fun moments. Good character growth. And plenty to think about.

i love the dark humor and character growth. however, after it was done, i kept having more questions that are left unanswered.
