I enjoy groundhog day as a trope but I just wish this book wasn't 90% focused on a romantic relationship. There was so much more that could be done, especially with an autistic synesthete, but it just fell a bit flat.
I'm not entirely sure the Greek mythology aspects that were incorporated worked either.
The premise of this book is pretty sweet, who doesn't love elder sapphic rivals-to-lovers? but the switch from rivals to lovers was just way too fast and didn't feel believable.
I felt like I barely knew the MCs as well so honestly, this would have made more sense as a full length book to give us time to actually get to know the characters and root for them and their relationship.
never in my live have I read a sequel that is so completely unnecessary. why follow up a book with the same story from the other pov? surely if you were doing that it would be released after the sequel rather than after the first book in the series.
anyway, I don't know if how I read has changed since the first book or if I now enjoy different things but rhiannon was insufferable and should've dumped justin regardless of her feelings for a, justin was the absolute worst and a racist asshole, and it made zero sense why a fell for rhiannon, and I don't even believe that she's that into them.
just a complete waste of time.
