Tash🖤Groundhog day stories can be a hit or miss, but wow Iman Hariri-Kia slams it out of the park with this one. Thank you so much to Netgalley and Cosmo Reads for an eARC. All thoughts are honest and my own. Laia Grace, an aspiring BeYou influencer, loves to vlog the perfect day - so perfect that she finds herself repeating the day over and over again. Stuck in the algorithm, forcing her to relive her last vlog every day - Laia runs into Noah, a stranger who seems to be trapped in the cycle along with her. The two work with one another to get out of the glitch. I have a problem with books being a little TOO contemporary, as in this book essentially takes place in my TikTok algorithm. It name drops celebrities, brands, trends very frequently. Given the nature of the book though, it really works. It was so fun to see how Laia and Noah try and break the algorithm and the magical aspect of the world. And wow, I must say this book took a turn I was not expecting which truthfully made me love it even more. It truly bumped the story from a 3.5 to a 4 stars. Laia was a great FMC. She comes off as vapid initially, but as she begins to explore her true identity and being honest about her life, she becomes incredibly relatable. So true when people say the internet isn't real. And Noah! Noah is an amazing representation for depression. His character arc and growth was so well done. I loved that he showed such a vulnerable side to Laia and was able to explain his depression and mental health clearly. This was such a fun book, I really hope you take the chance to check it out!
PFunI really liked this! I found it to be fun and they made such a cute couple! Not going to lie, at first I was going to check out because her as an influencer was a lot!! Luckily, the groundhog day scenario starts up quickly. The explanations made sense. I liked how they both grew. It was a fun read that had me grinning throughout.
