À propos de cet audio

When Nephele has a terrible freshman year, she does the only logical thing for a math prodigy like herself: She invents a time travel app so she can go back and do it again (and again, and again) in this funny love story, Groundhog Day for the iPhone generation.

Fourteen-year-old Nephele used to have friends. Well, she had a friend. That friend made the adjustment to high school easily, leaving Nephele behind in the process. And as Nephele looks ahead, all she can see is three very lonely years.

Nephele is also a whip-smart lover of math and science, so she makes a plan. Step one: invent time travel. Step two: go back in time, have a do-over of ninth grade, crack the code on making friends, and become beloved and popular.

Does it work? Sort of. Nephele does travel through time, but not the way she planned - she’s created a time loop, and she’s the only one looping. And she keeps looping, for 10 years, always alone. Now, facing ninth grade for the 10th time, Nephele knows what to expect. Or so she thinks. She didn’t anticipate that her new teacher would be a boy from her long ago ninth grade class, now a grown man; that she would finally make a new friend, after 10 years. And, she couldn’t have pictured someone like Jazz, with his deep violet eyes, goofy magic tricks and the quietly intense way he sees her. After 10 freshman years, she still has a lot more to learn. But now that she’s finally figured out how to go back, has she found something worth staying for?

Ce que les critiques en disent

“Nephele’s introspective monologues are filled with elegantly descriptive detail, tending toward a rambling stream-of-consciousness that many readers will find winning.” (Publishers Weekly)

This was terrible.

This was one of the worst books I've read in a long time. Usually, if a book is this bad, I don't finish it. I am tempted to ask for a refund.

I really liked the premise to this book, and I realize it is geared towards a young adult audience. However, I read many books that are written for young adults, and I usually enjoy them. I found this book hard to get through. The main character spends a lot of time discussing how intelligent she is, but doesn't actually demonstrate this intelligence.

The book's fun premise stalls again and again and again. Do not read past this point if you do not want spoilers.

I don't really know where to start when reviewing this book because it doesn't really make any logical sense. The main character is motivated to make a time machine because her best friend dumps her in grade 9. She wants to go back and fix things. however, going back doesn't work. She doesn't really fix anything. She doesn't have any epiphanies about herself and perhaps that she didn't need fixing in the first place? That would have been a cool Epiphany to have.

Although time travel is fictional, there are elements of this book that are completely implausible. She goes back in time, but she doesn't really go back in time. Other people are affected, but they're not really affected. I would say that this book is more fantasy than science fiction because the science, even on a fictional level, doesn't make any sense.

There are a lot of ways this book could have been fun funny and interesting. However, those did not happen. If I had taken this out of the library instead of purchasing it on audible, I definitely would have returned it without finishing it. as it is, I am resentful of the time that this took out of my life. I'm never going to get it back.

Maybe I need to invent a time machine so that I can go back to the time before I purchased this book and simply not do it. The narration was good. I felt like, at times, the narrator was maybe fed up with the plot. However, that might have been my own projection.
