Cassandra in Reverse : Discussion Thread

[Trisha]

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.

and I love this one so far!

It's quirky and cute and funny
(view spoiler)[ I really like Cassie! She's quirky and dealing with some very relevant issues!! I hate that everyone is making her feel so unlovable!! I think that's common with people who don't fit the idea of "norm"

Ugh, I hate her boss

and OOF! I can't even imagine reliving the first meeting with my husband and yet, it was so adorable I would definitely relive it again and again! (hide spoiler)]

well (view spoiler)[ she's really traveling and changing her timeline
but I wonder if that's showing her that her job is maybe not a good fit
her living arrangement is definitely not good
and that Will is maybe not the guy for her. . .

but I guess we'll see

and who is this woman that's popping up? She can't be the person who hit her parents, right? and not a sibling, unless Cassie lied about not having family. I wonder who it is. She has a nickname for her. . . (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ hmmm, she really is awful at her job. she should find a job she'd like more - there has to be a back end idea type of job that would have her away from the clients. Yikes
I understand Barry a bit more

and ugh, her roommate, the guy, he's just gross. what a pig.

I understand Will's POV better now too but I still think he isn't a good match for Cassandra, just maybe someone she thinks she should want. he's messy and sporadic and completely her opposite. I think they would slowly drive each other crazy. she can't move in with him have a long term relationship with him, I think he's right to break it off early. . . (hide spoiler)]

and I'm done!

awe, this one was SO good!

(view spoiler)[ I love that she connected with her sister, forgave her and finally realized she was Autistic, just like her mom. that was so touching, I loved how much her sister fought for her!! I love how she clarified how much she loved her just how she was

and I love that she connected with Ron. and realized she and will would never work!

I loved Sophie and her roommate Sal but how fun, to go back to the college of her mom and study the same thing she loved.
