I’m gonna start this with this was an easy book to read.

That being said I hated it. The idea was interesting, the execution I didn’t overly love. The only character I really liked was Benny. 

This whole thing starts because the main character got drunk and made out with her close family friend which was terrible and also she’s had a huge crush on his brother most of her life. I really didn’t like the fact that during this whole time travel thing she didn’t even talk to Theo. He even texted her at one point wanting her to hangout with him and she just ignored it. And then her brother said he liked her and she just ignored that. And then when he found out about her and his brother he was upset but then they just moved past it without talking. It was like eraser of the cataclysmic event that set this whole thing in motion. Sure she found happiness with the other brother which was what she was hoping for but I feel like she didn’t really learn anything from this experience.

Idk I have to just let this book go because the more I think about it the lower I drop the rating.
