I want to express my deepest gratitude to Entangled Publishing and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC of "Repeat After Me" by Jessica Warman.
Let me tell you, this book is truly something special. It's a captivating and unique story with a diverse cast of characters, each with their own compelling point of view. The setting of a remote island without any form of communication sets the stage for an exciting and unpredictable adventure.
Follow the journey of Emma, our sharp-witted protagonist, as she finds herself trapped in a time loop after a fateful encounter with a cursed ceviche during her senior trip. The concept is brimming with potential, and I was immediately drawn to the intriguing premise. While the execution may have left me with mixed feelings, I couldn't help but appreciate the creativity and ambition behind the narrative.
Although the book aims to infuse humour, I must admit that the reliance on crude and vulgar content at times took me by surprise. However, beneath the unconventional storytelling lies a thought-provoking exploration of teenage experiences, complete with its own peculiar blend of innocence and maturity.
While I may not be the exact target audience, I recognise the novel's ability to resonate deeply with the Euphoria generation. Its graphic nature may not be suited for everyone, but it undoubtedly captures the essence of a senior high school experience in a raw and unapologetic manner. It's a bold and unapologetic portrayal, and I believe that it will find a devoted following among those who connect with its candid and audacious style.
It's clear that this book is not meant to cater to every reader, but it possesses a distinctive charm that will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression on those who embrace its offbeat narrative. I encourage anyone intrigued by the premise to give it a chance and experience it for themselves. After all, not all books are meant to be universally loved, but the ones that find their audience are cherished fiercely.
