I’m not hugely into YA, but I love RLS, so I had to give this a read!

I’m so glad I did! RLS has said this is more NA than YA, and I definitely agree. And it was just so cute. I loved the time loop plot- I certainly thought I would get bored with it, but I never did!

And I loved Miles and Barrett. It was just so sweet!

*thanks to Simon and Schuster for an eARC to review!

I love the Jewish rep Rachel Lynn Solomon writes. We need more of it! I objectively enjoyed this book but subjectively, I don't love the groundhog day trope. I didn't realize that was the trope before picking it up! A solid read though.

See You Yesterday by Rachel Lynn Solomon is an intriguing story that is different from the classic Solomon books. A story that is full of humor, warmth, romance, and lots of emotion. I could not put this one down.

Not my favorite Rachel Lynn Solomon, but still a quality time-loop upper-YA romance! The plot is charming, and Barrett is a sharp, sarcastic heroine. (The relationship between her and Miles is cute too, of course.) Definitely TW for references to rape culture and sexual assault.

This book was thoroughly enjoyable. I loved the addition of a second person aware of the time loop to keep this story trope fresh. The characters were well-defined, funny, and great care was taken with difficult emotional topics. I do think the book could benefit from having a trigger warning for discussion of rape culture.

I think my older students will especially enjoy this college-set YA. The romance and time travel aspects are sure to entertain!

Let me start by saying Groundhog Day and Bill Murray was kind of an obsession for me as a kid. I loved it and him so much! So when I saw a story loosely based on a Groundhog Day troupe and then have it written by @rlynn_solomon I was all in.

You know I am not a huge connoisseur of the romance genre but, I am really getting into it lately. Since this is YA I wasn’t sure what to expect spice level wise but, I was pleasantly surprised. I thought it was tense, and full of the perfect amount of longing. The “scenes” were sweet and spicy too!

There is a ton of themes throughout this novel as per usual Solomon style, which is one of the reasons why I love her writing. It included learning to love yourself, be comfortable in your own skin, bullying and addiction, which were written with care and realism. She broached the subject of sex and “first times” with grace which I think was perfectly written for an older young adult.

Lastly, I liked the way the chapters were done, instead of “chapters” we have “days” which made it easy to follow and just the right amount of quirk to the story. Also-I love Miles. He may have become my new book boyfriend even though he is only 19?! I think that’s okay when he is fictional right?

Thank you so much to @netgalley for my advance copy in exchange for my review!

I know I've said that teens get to have their versions of things too, but I wouldn't recommend this too close to a viewing of a certain time loop movie.

The first third blows by, making the next third feel incredibly slow, but only by comparison. It's less that nothing is happening and more that you're getting to spend real time with the main characters interacting.

I'm going off of an ARC, and there's a part at the end I hope is rewritten just a little differently before publication, because as it is, it reads like "only boyfriends are important" even though that is absolutely not what the author means at all–and isn't even what the author is saying in the previous paragraph. It's just how the sentences are laid out.

Otherwise, a solid time loop romance with a little meat on it. I read it in one sitting.

I don’t know what it is about Rachel Lynn Solomon’s YA books but they just captivate me. This utterly charming and heartfelt nugget was the perfect read for me. I like Barrett’s edges. She was awkward and said the wrong things at the wrong times. She could b impulsive and had real insecurities and felt totally human to me. Also, her backstory of what happened to her in high school broke my heart. She might not be a typical likable character, but there was something very endearing that spoke to me.
Enter Miles, the only other person who seems to also be stuck in this loop. I think Miles was… okay. He wasn’t as colorful as Barrett (which was good because he evened her out) but I did feel a little bit like she liked him because he was the very obvious only option for her over a long period of time. Also, yay for a half Asian Jewish boy! That said, he was a good balance to her personality and I liked his family backstory a lot. He wasn’t as rounded or clear to me as Barrett was, but he was cute and I liked his science brain.
Which brings me to the time loop.
Oh how I love a time loop.
Props to Solomon for actually including Groundhog Day film in the story. I really enjoyed this because it brought about some very interesting questions about character and humanity. If you were able to redo the day over and over again, what would you spend your time on? Selfish tasks? Making things better? Revenge? I love how each of these was explored by the characters and how it effected them throughout the novel. Some of the topics did go a little dark and I appreciated that too. Sure, a time loop is fun maybe the first few times but after months and months? Yeah, that can go to a dark place. I also really like the secondary characters. Max, Miles’s brother was brief but gave a good sense of Miles’s home life. And Lucie, Barrett’s enemy/roommate was a great supporting character for Bennett, who slowly transformed through Lucie’s help.
Overall, I think See You Yesterday was the perfect blend of YA romance with a layer of deep life questions.

This book sounded really cute. Unfortunately, when I started reading it, I found I simply could not stand the main character. I have picked the book up and put it down several times, trying to push my way through. Despite finding the writing forced and the pacing uneven, I did finally finish. While I think the concept of the story was interesting, that simply wasn’t enough to save this book for me.

My copy of this book was provided by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. My thanks to the the author, the publisher, and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review it.

"Because somehow, against all my better judgement... I like you."

Rachel Lynn Solomon just writes the best characters ever. I LOVED Barrett and Miles with my whole heart. Their banter, their insecurities, their relationship. It was absolute perfection! I realized I maybe don't really love time loops all that much, but my love for these characters so exceeded that I still thoroughly enjoyed this book. The Jewish rep in this book is also *chefs kiss* and made my heart so very happy.

Thank you to Simon Teen and Netgalley for the ARC of this book. All opinions are my own.

If you've followed me/are friends with me/ have seen me talk about my favorite books, it's not a secret how big of a fan of Rachel Lynn Solomon I am. I always try to get ARCs and understand when I don't, but when I got this one I almost cried. Solomon has such an ease to her writing that always draws me in. See You Yesterday was no exception! Barrett and Miles are another exceptional couple. Can I also say that I LOVE the parallel with this cover and T3 (despite them not having any relation, although I think these two couples would be friends). It gives me so much joy!

Solomon once again sets up a great enemies-to-lovers story arc a-la Groundhog Day and I couldn't put it down! From the very beginning, Barrett may not be the most likable protagonist, but her can-do attitude and sarcastic, witty responses make it easy to adore her. Miles comes off as harsh, but guarded and as the story goes on you see him open up. This story is easily one of my favorites. A true enemies-to-lovers story that keeps you glued to the pages.

I love how the whole Groundhog Day gets set up and how it gets into the mind and actions of both Barrett and Miles. The plot is well paced, the voice is beautiful and it truly sets up a fantastically addicting story that you won't soon forget!

All in all, RLS does it again! See You Yesterday is a hit!

I have been working my way through Rachel Lynn Solomon’s books this year and they are all delightful. After reading all of her romance novels, I jumped into her YA books and they are pure gold. I read a lot of YA by choice and also to have recommendations for my students. Solomon’s books are a solid, go-to recommendation for friends and students. See You Yesterday was little slow to get going but once the plot started moving I was really invested. The main characters, Barrett and Miles had chemistry from their first meeting and I really enjoyed their banter. Eventually they are forced to work together to find their way out of the time loop they are stuck in. I’ve seen/watched/read the groundhog trope so much of in recent years and I think See You Yesterday was a really cute take. There were some really great messaging in this book like overcoming bullying, addiction in young people, liking AND loving yourself, and how it feels not fitting in. These are all really important and difficult things for highschoolers and young people to deal with. Overall I think this was such a fun read and I totally recommend it for anybody who enjoys YA.

Thank you #Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is an example of what I call a perfect book. This is the first book I have read by Rachel Lynn Solomon and I am now obsessed with her writing style.

“See You Yesterday” is about Barrett and Miles. They are experiencing their first day of college over and over again. They try to figure out why, and along the way they find they have fallen for each other. Will they get to see their second day of college? And if they do will they forget about each other?

This was truly an exceptional book. First, I love the concept. Barrett is ready for a fresh start and she gets to experience this fresh start many times. In the process she learns more about herself and how to process her past trauma.

From the very beginning I loved Barrett and Miles. Their interactions were always so entertaining and their chemistry was palpable.

This book was a very slow burn, but it was so well done! That moment where they finally came together was amazing.

Overall, this book was fast paced, witty, fun, romantic. As soon as I finished this book I started telling everyone I know about it. This is a book I will be recommending for a very long time!

If you know me, you know that I love to read romance. And you also know I love anything having to do with Time Travel/Time Loops/Alternate Timelines. So of course, I really enjoyed See You Yesterday by @rlynn_solomon. Thanks to @netgalley and @simonandschuster for letting me read this early in exchange for my honest feedback.

Barrett had a terrible high school experience and is eager to start over in college. However, everything goes wrong on her first day, first with her roommate situation and then at her physics class where a fellow student (Miles) embarrasses her. Unfortunately, Barrett can't move past this terrible first day because she wakes up to the exact same day, again and again.

✔️ College Life
✔️ Enemies to lovers
✔️ Time Loop
✔️ Awkward MCs!
✔️ First Love

I adored the setup - I love Groundhog's Day and In a Holidaze so was immediately on board. I don't care if it's magic or science or a little of both, the premise delivered and was ultimately a fun situation for these two nerds 🤣

I loved both Barrett and Miles - I liked that they felt real, like I could be friends with them. They are a little awkward and a lot charming and very funny. Banter was high here, which always amps up my enjoyment of a book. I'd say ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 and definitely recommend.

Swoon 💕💕💕

An absolute joy! I adored Solomon's writing style, I appreciated so much the depth of her characters and how the premise never felt repetitive despite it being set to be by design. I adored Miles and Barrett and the growth they went through individually and together (as friends and more!).

I will definitely pick up her previous work and will keep an eye out for whatever comes next from Solomon.

What a fun and … slightly claustrophobic ride! RLS is one of my faves ever!!!! As i reached the end I realized how I’d miss Barrett and Miles my cute, sweet, stuck in a loop children.

I'm not sure what I expected from this book. I saw a pink cover and was in the mood for a contemporary romance and decided to request this from NetGalley, but I was delightfully surprised by the time travel aspect and its poignant musings on life and relationships.

Everything goes wrong when Barrett Bloom wakes up on September 21st. First, her roommate ends up being from her old high school and someone, who had a hand in making her life miserable. She's humiliated in her physics by a know-it-all, fails to impress at her newspaper interview, and then accidentally sets a frat house on fire. Appalled by the events, Barrett goes to bed and wakes up on the 21st again.

Doomed to repeat the day, Barrett discovers that she's not alone. The know-it-all from her physics class, Miles, is also experiencing the same phenomenon. Miles and Barrett decide to band together to solve their predicament and experiment with trying to perform good deeds, find answers in the library, and live out crazy adventures in the hopes of restarting the timeline. However, as September continues to repeat, the two must confront their feelings for each other and the fear of what happens when tomorrow finally comes.

This was a really enjoyable book with a fun twist on the time loop narrative as the two characters try to navigate their predicament and find an answer to why they're currently stuck. I liked the relationship between Miles and Barrett and how it developed over the course of the story. Both characters were lost in their own respective way and their contrasting personalities helps the other to move forward with their life. Furthermore, I appreciated that this time loop didn't give the characters all the answers, but instead pointed them in a new direction and started a new chapter for each one.

I absolutely loved See You Yesterday by @rachellynnsolomon,

Barrett Bloom is the kind of YA hero I love. She’s a hot mess in the best possible way. She had a disastrous, and pretty traumatic, high school experience, and she’s hoping college will be different, but if her first day is any indication, no. Her high school nemesis is her roommate, she sits next to an obnoxious blowhard in physics class she didn’t mean to take, and she has a not so stellar interview for her dream job on the college newspaper. And that’s just what happens during the day. The night does not get better. And then she wakes up the next morning stuck in the same day.

The only thing that makes the time loop even a little bearable also makes it worse. She’s not alone. The blowhard from physics class, Miles, has apparently been stuck in the time loop for months.
He suggests a physics-based approach to getting out of their predicament requiring hours researching, while Barrett wants to try a more pop-culture Groundhog Day strategy.

I found everything about this book delightful. I always love Solomon’s writing, and this book blew it out of the park with dry wit, humor, and heart that left me panicking as I got closer to the end because it meant I would have to leave these characters behind. There’s great representation—Jewish, LGBTQ+, Asian-American—and it’s sex positive.

I’m not sure I followed the “science” of the time loop, but it absolutely didn’t matter. The loop is handled really well and doesn’t feel like it’s only a plot device.

You should definitely pick up a copy of See You Yesterday when it comes out May 17. It didn’t quite push Today Tonight and Tomorrow out of my favorite Solomon book slot, but it gave it a run for its money which is saying a lot. Thank you to @WednesdayBooks, @netgalley, and @booksaremagictoo for an advanced copy and thank you to Barnes & Noble for sending my preorder early for my non-elevator photo.
