Elliot Starr

This is definitely one of my new favorite books. Queer romance in a time loop?! Yes please. The themes of friendship family, mental health, and stepping outside of your comfort zone were beautifully explored throughout the novel and I personally though the time loop sci-fi aspects were really cool. Needless to say I couldn't put the book down since starting it and I was engaged the whole way through. I really like how we started already over 300 days into the time loop but still get to hear about the early days a bit.

I loved the main character - Clark - he was so likable and so sweet from the start and his character development with his family dynamics and friendships was amazing (Clark has incredible emotional maturity?!?!). I also loved Beau, I wish we got to learn more about him though because his character was so interesting. I am mad about him ditching Clark who was nothing but kind and understanding to him for like 50 days but I get that he was scared of not being able to escape and he mostly made up for it in the end. The last quarter of the book had me breathless due to the anticipation and when the end finally came tears were shed (happy tears!!)
