"I have a modest bias about the Groundhog Day trope, that’s it’s a lazy writer’s genre, just writing different endings to the same setting. This story is a good twist to that genre, very much the same day over and over - what to do to make a different outcome, how to avoid disaster, how to take time to think about how to live life better. And having that chance. Thought-provoking!"

"What a moving story. Made me think of reprioritizing my life and not getting swept up in the noise and paying more attention to what really matters in life. Definitely cried at the end. "

"I thought this book was very eye opening in my personal life. It had me reflect on reprioritizing things that mean the most to me over social media, daily stressors, and work. The book was a little lengthy and became redundant but I did appreciate the author showing all types of emotions as the main character is stuck in a loop with an ending she knows she can't avoid. The last chapter was heart wretching but an overall great read."
