Cassandra in Reverse by Holly Smale

“Witty, touching and totally absorbing.” —Graeme Simsion, New York Times bestselling author of The Rosie Project If you had the power to change the past…where would you start? Cassandra Penelope Dankworth is a creature of habit. She likes what she likes (museums, jumpsuits, her boyfriend, Will) and strongly dislikes what she doesn't (mess, change, her boss drinking out of her mug). Her life runs in a pleasing, predictable order…until now. She's just been dumped. She's just been fired. Her local café has run out of banana muffins. Then, something truly unexpected happens: Cassie discovers she can go back and change the past. One small rewind at a time, Cassie attempts to fix the life she accidentally obliterated, but soon she'll discover she's trying to fix all the wrong things. “A great read-alike for The Rosie Project (2013) by Graeme Simsion, Oona Out of Order (2020) by Margarita Montimore, and The Boys (2022) by Katie Hafner.” —Booklist (STARRED)

Neurodivergent Time Travel Women's Fiction. I do believe this is the first time I've ever encountered a book quite like this one - a book with a neurodivergent main character who time jumps most similarly to The Time Traveler's Wife (vs a true time loop ala Groundhog Day or a "glimpse" ala Family Man), but yet ultimately lands more on the women's fiction side than the romance side, despite said main character's main focus being on restoring the romance she loses at the beginning of the tale. There's also quite a reliance on Greek mythology reimagined, more akin to elements of Jeremy Robinson's Infinite Timeline event than say Rick Riordian's Percy Jackson lore. But as with at least Robinson's books (I've never actually read Riordian's), there is enough explanation of the relevant mythology that one not need have a degree in the field to understand the story enough to enjoy the story for itself. Overall, this has quite a few rare features in it, and fans of the time travel genre will likely enjoy it the most, but others should still step into this wildly quirky world. Very much recommended.
