Take Me Back to Yesterday

by Jasmine Little

He was her best friend. Now he’s just the boy who killed her sister.

Once wild and fearless, Emma Adler is now crushed and lonelier than ever as she navigates life without her sister. She carries heavy guilt for not being there when her sister needed her most—the day Myles Green, the timid boy next door, pushed Mallory off a bridge.

When Emma is thrown back in time to three days before the incident, she’s determined to stop Myles from ever hurting Mallory, but when she finds herself getting close to him again, she starts to question everything she thought was true. Now, running out of time, will she be able to save her sister or will she be forced to watch history repeat itself?

A bit confusing but super cute :3
I keep going back and forth between 3 stars or 4 stars but I think my final verdict is 3.86 hahah. I definitely relate to Emma and Mallory, like with Emma I keep fucking up. But with Mallory I also try to be a perfectionist. And Myles 🥹🥹🥹 his sacrifice. The misunderstandings between Emma & Mallory, and then Emma & Myles, and then Mallory and Myles, Myles & his mother. But the timeline changing was a big confusing for me. I felt so bad for the part about Emma and her mom.

I swear I’m going to read every single thing Jasmine Little ever writes. No questions asked!😭💗

*EDITED* : The Review is finally here!!!!

Thank you so much Jasmine, for giving me the ARC of this book. Like I always say, I will read anything Jasmine Little ever writes. Even before picking it up, I already knew this would become a favourite. I started reading and finished it in one sitting, I genuinely couldn’t put it down for even a minute.

This book broke me in so many ways, but it also healed me in the end. There were so many moments that brought tears to my eyes, and yes, I cried once. No one writes grief the way Jasmine does. Her portrayal of losing a family member is so raw, so painfully real, that it leaves you speechless. The plot twists? Completely insane. I sat there stunned more than once. She handled the time travel element beautifully too. TMBTY follows Emma Adler as she struggles with the loss of her sister Mallory, believing she was pushed off a bridge by Emma’s ex–best friend Myles Green. More than romance, this book is about Emma and Mallory’s relationship. Their sibling bond felt so realistic, so full of love and hurt. It was heartbreaking to read how deeply Emma was affected by Mallory’s death. When she time travels one year back and tries desperately to save her sister, I felt every ounce of her panic and pain.

Reading about Emma, how full of life she once was, how everything dimmed after her mother left, after she drifted apart from Myles, and how it completely shattered after Mallory’s death, hurt so much. Watching the light fade in a girl who was once sunshine made me emotional again and again. I wanted to hug every version of her: the little girl yearning for her mother’s love, the teenager grieving her best friend, and the broken sister trying to survive the unimaginable. Emma is easily one of the most complex characters I’ve ever read, and she will stay with me for a long time.

Now Myles, God this man was a walking green flag. Such a gentleman, through and through. He went through so much in this book, especially towards the ending. I literally shouted when I read that scene. No spoilers, but I was stressed. Jasmine also handled the theme of losing a parent so well. Every moment Myles talked about missing his father hit me so hard. He is such a selfless character, loving Emma in a way that’s not always spoken on the page but shown in every action. The way he stands beside her, supports her and protects her, it’s impossible not to love him.

Mallory… I adored her so much. I felt deeply for her character, and I cried for her, over her death, over everything she went through and everything Emma didn’t know. The scenes between Mallory and Emma were emotional every single time. Even towards the end, I kept hoping for a miracle.
Emma and Myles’s moments together were such a highlight. Their childhood friendship was so sweet, and it broke my heart how they fell apart because of miscommunication. But watching them find their way back to each other and rebuild their trust was beautiful.

Overall, this book was truly one of the best I’ve read. Everyone must read it. It’s a perfect blend of realistic themes, grief, family, time travel, and twists that will leave you speechless. Yes, it will break you a little, but the ending will heal you too.

Some Triggers to be aware of before reading: Grief, Suicide, Abandonment

I absolutely enjoyed this book and this author this is the second book I've read by her and I'm always amazed at the writing and how it's always so hard to put down I stayed up all night reading this story I needed to know how it all ended.

The story focuses on a young girl who goes back in time to prevent her sister from dying and the one she needs to stop from killing her is none other than her ex best friend but going back in time reveals a truth she didn't even know existed and everything she thought she knew was actually all a lie.

“She’s a part of me. She’s ingrained into my soul, and I can’t let her go.”

The amount of plot twists in this book is disgusting… this book I HATE AND LOVE THIS BOOK SO MUCH. I cried, gasped, wanted to throw up, laughed smiled. I guess I would call it a thriller yet it was healing the relationship between Emma and Myles and what happened that night.. can I just say I felt so bad for Myles after what happened… genuinely he deserves better and so does Mallory but omg Emma “my mother left cause I was to hard to love” my heart broke for her, because a mother would never say that… but darn I was so mad at Emma too for pushing Myles away… guys I thought the ending was gonna be an If He Had Been With Me ending… and I was gonna crash out. Overall guys I loved this book, but guys the last like 50 pages SOBBING. Just wished that ending wasn’t so rushed

Quotes!

“I’d rather be hurt than see you hurt.”

“I could’ve handled it.” “I know. But just because you can, doesn’t mean you have to.”

“Yet somehow I’d always hear his voice or laugh in the distance, and each time it stabbed my heart. I knew Myles would never be mine again. That’s what hurt most.”

[Abigail Li · Rating 3 out of 5]

This had a really good premise/idea with some interesting twists, and I was really enjoying the first half. But then the problem was the writing. I didn’t mind it initially, but then it seemed to get progressively…worse? Just very juvenile and kiddy in a way I can’t explain. It took away the emotional depth of some scenes, and since this book dealt with some heavy topics, that was obviously not a good thing. And there were also some plot holes about the time jumping. But overall it was fine, and there were some cute parts I enjoyed.

[Julia Mortensen · Rating 3 out of 5]

It got too into the time travel I wish it just would’ve ended when she got back to the present and realized Mallory committed suicide

[Dhiya · Rating 4 out of 5]

I had the absolute honour of being an arc reader for this book and by God it did not disappoint!!!
I'll be honest going into this with the whole time travel concept in mind I did NOT expect to be as on the edge of my seat as I actually was when diving into the thick of the plot.
The way that Jasmine Little tackled the duality and differences of Emma and her perfect sister Mallory healed something in me,watching the characters come to life and develop before my very eyes filled me with a sense of priceless joy that I haven't felt in ages for a good YA book.
Myles's character was so much more than just Emma's best friend and love interest, he was so much more than a killer, he was a beautifullt written boy struggling with grief and not so new beginnings.The love and care he has for Emma melted my heart literally page by page.
I can't tell you how many times I put this book down with my jaw on the floor or squealing in excitement.
Definitely worth the read and rating!!! And you better know I will be diving into the rest of her work too.

‏
‏ايوا عشرةة، ويعتبر أول كتاب انكليزي اعطيه تقييم كامل، مافيش اخطاء، مافيش اي شيء مبتذل، نظيف، حلو، خلاني أبكي يومين، خلاني أحس بالفراغ بعد ما خَلصته لدرجة ودي احدق بالسقف لثلاث أيام بدون ما اسوي شي بس أفكر بالأحداث وكيف أكتب ريفيو يوفي بحق هالرّواية!
‏
‏الأول، راح تمشي الأحداث زي ما هو في النّبذة، إيما الي تكن كره بشكل غير طبيعي لصديق طفولتها، ايما الي الكل يكرهها لأن الكل يشوف هي السبب في موت اختها وسجن مايلز باتهام باطل رغم هو اعترف بنفسه انه دفعها من على الجسر، وقتل اختها مالوري.
‏
‏وووسط تعرضها للتنمر من قبل صديق مايلز، سام، تروح للجسر الي ماتت فيه اختها وتحاول تلاقي أمل انه جثتها موجودة هنا، واثناء تأملها على سِياج الجسر، توقع ايما منه على النهر الضحل، ومن هنا يبدأ كل شيء.
‏
‏ايما ترجع للزمن، التاريخ؟
‏قبل وفاة مالوري بثلاث ايام، ذاتها الأيام الي كانت هاربة فيهم من البيت حتى تروح تشوف امها الي تخلت عنها.
‏
‏وهنا خلت نصب عينها إنعا تغير المستقبل، بس بالواقع، هل هي غيرت المستقبل ولا كانت نتيجة المستقبل نفسها الي تحاول تغييرها؟
‏
‏فجوة في ذاكرة ايما، شافته هو يدفع مالوري من الجسر وهي راجعة من مكان والدتها، بس الواقع، لها صورة معاه قبل الحادث وهم في سيارة، مخالفة مرورية، الكل يقول هي ما كانت غايبة لثلاث أيام؟!
‏
‏مش قادرة أحرق أكثر من كذا في الريفيو لكن الكاتبة كانت تعرف ايش تكتب، كانت تعرف كيف تودي الأفعال والأنفعالات، كانت تعرف مَغزى الي تحاول توصل.
‏
‏كل شيء صار، نتيجة تدخل أيادٍ بالمستقبل، جثة المالوري المفقودة، تم ايجادها ب2023 بينما هي ماتت في 2024، حقيقة القصاصة الي مزّقها مايلز قبل لا يدفع مالوري، أو الأصح، البنت الي دفعها مايلز ما كانتش مالوري، كانت شخص ثاني، الشخص الي كان يحاول تغيير المستقبل!
‏
‏كنت متوقعة كل الأحداث مَع التلميحات الموجودة لين وصلت لفصل 30، وعفوا؟؟؟؟!
‏
‏صدمتني الكاتبة أربع صدمات بخمس تشباتر بس!
‏
‏ايما تموت؟
‏مايلز يعترف انه ما قتل مالوري؟
‏جثة مالوري وحقيقة زمن موتها المتناقض؟
‏مايلز من المستقبل.؟؟؟؟
‏
‏في النّهاية، وآخر خمس تشابتر، تدرك حقيقة مُرة، إترك الأفعال للقدر، لا تدخل بتغييرها، التّغير كان سبب دمار ثلاث حيوات.
‏
‏اللحظة الي تم منع ايما إنها تسافر للماضي كان هو الحل الوحيد لحتى يرجع كلشي بمكانه، مافي حياة تِنخسر، ولا في حوارات يتم تأجيلها.
‏
‏الرواية كانت جدا عميقة ومؤثرة، كل نصوصها أثرت فينب وخلتني أدمع، من مشاعر ايما لمايلز، ولمالوري الي كانَ جزء منها يشبهني، شخص يحاول يخبي كل ألمه، يحاول يدعي المثالية بينما هي تتهاوى، كل الشخصيات كانت حقيقية، وجزء منها.

‏
‏It isn’t as wonderful as young Emma once thought. It’s full of darkness—pain and heartache—and once that darkness catches you, there’s no point in running after the light. Darkness always wins. Every happy memory gets clouded over by a film of reality, becoming sad.
‏It’s hard and lonely.
‏
‏_
‏
‏I take a breath, but it’s shaky.
‏This is what loneliness truly is. All of these people around me, questioning whether or not I’m lying. There isn’t a soul in this building who believes me. They’re convinced I lied about what I saw.

‏There were times when my parents fought that suddenly made our giant home feel too small. The walls were too hollow and their voices echoed through every crack.

‏“Just so you know, I hate you too, Mallory! I hate everything about you! I wish you’d disappear!” My voice cracked, raw from anger laced with pain.
‏I didn’t wait for her answer. I didn’t wait to see if my words hurt her or not. I ran out of the school with no phone and no plan. All I knew was I was going to see my mom even if I had to go by myself.
‏I told Mallory I hated her. That was the last thing I told her. I told her I wanted her to disappear.
‏And then she did . . .
‏
‏_
‏
‏Tears stream down my face as I stare at the water under the bridge, watching the rain ripple off the surface. I imagine the world is crying with me, feeling her loss as deeply as me. The perpetual torment of the hollow gash she left behind in my life.
‏I wish I’d told her how I really felt. I loved her, but I didn’t realize how much until she was gone.
‏

‏
‏Tears fall from my eyes like water breaking from a dam, pouring down my cheeks like I’m a little kid. I start crying hard enough I should be embarrassed because there are so many people here to witness it.
‏
‏
‏_
‏
‏
‏I want to tear him from my memory. To wipe it clean and start my life over because every thought, every moment in time, is somehow connected to him. I don’t know how to explain it, but hating someone I used to cherish is the worst kind of hatred there is. It’s deep and raw because he isn’t some random person who wronged me. He’s the only person who ever really knew me, and he knew exactly how badly he hurt me.

‏He chose me, and I want to scream. There’s no way I can let him throw away his dream for me. That isn’t right. This is when the truth solidifies in my mind: he’d never do anything to hurt me. The version of him I know in the future is not the same boy in front of me. Myles, the boy who would give up on his dream of playing baseball for me, is not going to hurt Mallory. It’s a truth I feel all the way down to my bones.

‏Neither one of us speaks, but I notice her eyes on our hands.

Thanks to the author for giving me an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

[English review below]

Al final cada uno tenemos nuestras propias batallas y no todo es lo que parece 🥺

Emma y Myles fueron inseparables y en la actualidad ya no se hablan, hasta que un día ella ve cómo Myles mata a su hermana. Ahora Emma se siente más sola que nunca, hasta que regresa en el tiempo, justo 3 días antes del suceso y hará todo lo posible por evitar que Myles mate a Mallory.

"Everything was an adventure. She lived each day to the fullest.
Now I just survive".

Emma es alguien extrovertida, impulsiva y con un espíritu libre, o eso es lo que quiere hacer pensar a todos, porque por dentro tiene cicatrices que hacen que se sienta sola. Por otro lado, Myles es alguien más bien introvertido y tímido y que también tiene sus cicatrices. La verdad es que al principio no me caía muy bien Emma por sus actitudes rebeldes, pero después pude entender el motivo de su actuar. Por otro lado, me encantó que Myles siempre fue leal y, a pesar de todo, nunca dejó de querer a Emma. En cuanto a la trama, sufrí un montón con Emma y Mallory. Ninguna de las dos merecía sentir la carga que estaban sintiendo en ese momento 🥺

"All I want to do is close my eyes and forget where I am. To let my mind go blank. I'd rather be full of nothing than to be living in this pain".

Por otra parte, ya para el final de sintió un poco más lento, ya que ya habían pasado esas escenas, por lo que se sintió un poco repetitivo, pero se entiende que había que pasar por lo mismo para poder llegar al final.

En general, debo decir que fue el primer libro de la autora y no será el último porque amé la pluma de Jasmine y cómo logra que cada palabra dejé una huella en ti 🥺

[ENG]

In the end, we all have our own battles to fight, and not everything is as it seems 🥺

Emma and Myles were inseparable, but now they no longer speak to each other, until one day she sees Myles kill her sister. Now Emma feels lonelier than ever, until she travels back in time, just three days before the incident, and will do everything she can to stop Myles from killing Mallory.

"Everything was an adventure. She lived each day to the fullest.
Now I just survive".

Emma is outgoing, impulsive, and a free spirit, or at least that's what she wants everyone to think, because inside she has scars that make her feel alone. On the other hand, Myles is introverted and shy, and he also has his scars. The truth is that at first, I didn't like Emma very much because of her rebellious attitude, but then I understood the reason for her behavior. On the other hand, I loved that Myles was always loyal and, despite everything, never stopped loving Emma. As for the plot, I suffered a lot with Emma and Mallory. Neither of them deserved to feel the burden they were feeling at that moment 🥺

"All I want to do is close my eyes and forget where I am. To let my mind go blank. I'd rather be full of nothing than to be living in this pain".

On the other hand, towards the end it felt a little slower, as those scenes had already happened, so it felt a little repetitive, but I understand that it was necessary to go through the same thing for the plot.

Overall, I must say that it was the author's first book and it won't be her last because I loved Jasmine's writing style and how she manages to make every word leave a mark on you 🥺

[Sara · Rating 4 out of 5]

At no point in the story could I have predicted where the book was going next, and every guess I made was wrong. Yet, the unpredictability of the book is its greatest asset. I started this book so sure I knew what I was getting into, but the book continuously surprised me. The premise of the book is very interesting. The aspect of alternate fates and "what-ifs" is very appealing. I can't really speak much about the plot without spoiling anything, but what I can say is that the book is like a roller coaster. Not an emotional one, but a fast one. There's twists and turns and loops and dives, and it even has one of those features where you go to the top of the hill and start rolling down it backwards.

I both loved and hated all the characters. I don't like Emma as a person, I think she's selfish and rude, but as a character, she's great. I think she's well-written and complex, and all her unlikeable moments are justified and motivated by her characterization. Myles is consistently the more sympathetic of the two main characters, but he also has complex moments where you're not really sure if you like him or not. I think Emma and Myles are good examples of how people can react to trauma. They are perfect foils of each other, and their behavior after their trauma mirrors that. Both characters withdraw into themselves and shut down, but Emma does so as an attack mechanism whereas Myles does so as a defense mechanism. Their characterization is set up so clearly and strongly in the beginning, that never did I question their actions or decisions.

For lack of a better word, this book is a mindfuck. Time travel stories have to be careful about their worldbuilding so they don't create plot holes or inconsistencies. The way this book handles the time travel aspect is good. I think a good analogy for this story's treatment of time travel is like a river (hahaha get it?), with the main timeline being broken into smaller ones that pool or meet back with the main one. Even though it got a little confusing at the end of the story (because you have to keep the different years straight), I was able to buy in to what the author was presenting to me. The alternate futures and characters made sense. The only thing that confused me was the 2024 Timeline C. If, in the third version of 2024, Mallory asks Myles for helping finding Emma, what happened in Timeline A? Did Mallory not ask for help, or did Myles refuse to help? Or, why was Timeline C Mallory nicer and less of a mafia boss than Timeline A Mallory? My understanding of Timeline C is that it was a version of the world where neither Myles, Mallory, nor Emma die, but I don't understand how 2027 Myles saving 2026 Myles prevented Mallory's death in 2024. See what I mean about having to keep the timelines straight? Even though I was confused, I actually enjoyed being confused by the book.

I really liked this book and all its complexities. The only thing I didn't like was the typos. There were a few typos that would've been very easy to fix, so I'm not sure how they made it past editing into the final book. For example, the book used the word "inn" instead of "in". The typos were odd, but didn't distract too much from the reading experience.

This book was captivating. It left me speechless multiple times. The plot twists were so shocking and when I thought I knew what was coming it somehow found a way to surprise me. This book had me going through every emotion. I cried multiple times and I smiled so much in the end. This book had the best ending and I cannot recommend this book enough. Emma and Myles were always meant for each other in every timeline.

Take Me Back to Yesterday by Jasmine Little • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

✨ Review ✨

Thank you so much Jasmine Little for this ARC!!

First off, before I begin my review, I’d like to make a note to the author. Jasmine, do you enjoy making me cry? I think you take joy in making me cry for every one of your books.

Anyways, besides the fact that I cried way too much over fictional characters and related too much with certain parts, I loved this book. In the beginning, I did kind of hate both Emma and Myles for… reasons. Then the plot got even more emotional and really became a race against the clock. It had me on the edge of my seat wondering if time traveling was actually going to change anything.

This was a very emotional book with grief, romance, and time travel. Jasmine Little always does an amazing job touching on heavy topics. While this is YA, always check any content warnings beforehand and please talk to someone when you are going through something, it’s not healthy to keep your emotions bottled up and you don’t have to go through it alone.

I can’t wait to read more of your work Jasmine!!

P.S. The author drew this beautiful cover herself!

4.5 ⭐

Losing someone is never easy, especially when it happens so suddenly that you never get the chance to make things right.

Just like other siblings, Emma and Mallory loved each other but never said or showed enough and when Emma realised it, it was too late and reading that was the most heartbreaking part of this book. Because it's what so many of us fear - realizing too late how much someone truly meant to us.

And then there's Emma and Myles.Their story isn't simple, it's filled with pain, struggles, silence and everything that left unsaid. Their journey from childhood friends to enemies to lovers shows how fragile relationships can be if not communicated. How often we destroy relationships over silence and misunderstandings? Alot and maybe that's why it's always said to let out your inner thoughts out.

This was truly an emotional yet beautifully written book. A perfect mixture of grief, guilt and second chances. And the time travel trope with twists made the reading experience more gripping and exciting.

Jasmine truly has the gift for writing characters, stories that are flawed yet unforgettable . And of course, making her readers cry is the constant. But will I ever stop reading her books? Never !!!!!!

“Maybe that’s why it hurt when she pushed me away. She knew me completely, in every way, and she chose to leave me.”

⏳It took me way too long to read this, it was a mix of a BAD reading slump and being out of town, but finally I was able to lock in and finish it!!

⌛️I really really enjoyed this book! I loved both Emma and Myles, together and apart, and how emotional their story was. Emma is my favorite kind of main character: tragically lonely and extremely unhinged. This book covers some heavy topics, and I think it does it well for the YA genre.

⏳I wanted to love it enough to give it five stars, but with the time-travel\multiverse type of books I find I’m very particular, and there were just a few small things that I didn’t love\questioned. But, it was nothing major, and it didn’t affect my love for the characters or interest in the story as I read. I want this to be a spoiler free review, so I’ll leave it at that, but I’d like to thank the author for the arc & for somehow always being there when I need pulled out of a weeks long reading slump lol

ARC REVIEW:
If Jasmine Little writes it, I will read it.
I've read all three books of Jasmine Little and I am not disappointed by any of her work.
Her books broke and heal you all at once.

This time travel book was so good. It will make you laugh, cry, blush, break your heart and then fix it.
Myles Green has my heart. He is a perfect gentleman.
Emma Adler is a sweetheart.
Emma and Myles complement each other so perfectly.
I loved the time traveling part of this book, and how the last few chapters were deja vu of previous chapters. And, how these chapters were all the same but so different at the same time.
I love how everything is okay at the end. More than okay actually, everything is perfect.
I loved the relationship between Myles and his mother, and Emma and her sister.
The line where Mallory says 'I can never hate you, you're my sister!' It just made me cry. Having a sister is so precious and I can truly understand these emotions.

If you are not reading books written by Jasmine Little, you definitely are missing so much.

[Bel · Rating 5 out of 5]

I think I just found my new favorite comfort book.

Take Me Back Yesterday is one of those rare stories that wraps you in warmth while still carrying a quiet heaviness and heartbreak that lingers long after you finish. It has the vibe of 'My Heart And Other Black Holes' and the heaviness of 'We Were Liars', minus the sad ending part. I read it in one sitting and immediately knew this is a book I’ll be coming back to again and again.

I’ve been deep into fantasy lately and honestly didn’t expect a non-fantasy book to hit me this hard—but this one completely proved me wrong.

I hate to admit it, but there were moments where my eyes were close to tearing up—and I never cry over books. That alone says everything about how emotionally impactful this story is.

''But the truth is I don’t want to explore the world anymore....
It’s full of darkness—pain and heartache—and once that darkness catches you, there’s no point in running after the light. Darkness always wins. Every happy memory gets clouded over by a film of reality, becoming sad.''

Ellie I’m sorry in advance yes I did finish another book but this literally only took 3 hours


Okay Jasmine little is bizarrely underrated, this is only my second book by her and the structure and writing of her books is perfection!
This book is genuinely in my top 20 books this year and I did not expect that!
The twists were so crazy and the friendship and the love of all the characters was so well written.
I felt so immersed in the book with the different POVS of Myles and Emma and the way the story panned out was so good, not rushed but not too slow that I was bored.
I’ll admit at first Emma kind of annoyed me (only when I was reading Myles POV which makes sense because she annoyed him hahaha) but by the end Emma was a whole new person and (if you’ve read the book it’ll make sense) but I think that fits into the storyline so perfectly.
I think Jasmine little may become one of those authors that I read everything she releases!!

I was selected as an arc reader for this book and am freely giving my thoughts!

This book was so amazing!! I enjoyed every second of it and the twist was so good! I loved trying to figure out the plot and as always the characters were so interesting and engaging I read this book in 24 hours and I do not regret it!

The characters were very true to themselves throughout the entirety of the book and throughout all their different emotions I could still feel the connections to others that they all had and the sadness was written so brilliantly, I was crying with the characters half the time.
I adore Emma and Myles and I can’t believe I read their story so quickly bc I want to read it all over again!

For fans of contemporary romance with a touch of supernatural themes and lots and lots of angst! I highly recommend this book!

Thank you for the chance to read this book!

Take Me Back to Yesterday by Jasmine Little

Thank you Jasmine Little for this arc! This was such a fun read. I was so invested that I didn’t want to put it down. Emma is such complicated character that sometimes I was frustrated with her, but I also loved her and wanted to wrap her in a hug and keep her safe. Myles is so sweet, and softly on the inside. I loved how he cared for her, despite everything. They were so fun to read about, and I enjoyed seeing their whole journey. The plot was really cool, I love when there is something time travel, and it definitely had a bit of Groundhog Day vibes to it. The ending was so right for the characters, and while I could happily read one hundred more pages of them, I’m very happy with how it ended. Definitely recommend!

IMMEDIATELY i was hooked. the factor of our main character being taken back in time was so intriguing, and the way jasmine did it was so different to other books. i just kept thinking “what’s going to happen next?”

i have always loved how jasmine little writes. she creates characters with such depth, but also complete page-turners with books you can’t help but want to binge. i’ve read all the books jasmine has put out, and they have all gone above and beyond my expectations.

this story is full of so many combating emotions and different types of characters who deal with things in such contrasting ways. it’s deep and real with flawed and realistic characters that you can’t help but want the best for. i don’t even have the words for how much i love them.

i will forever be the first person to recommend jasmine’s books, and you all need to read them <3

“Emma isn’t just anyone. She’s my Emma. The girl who wiped my tears away when I was little and scared. The girl who fell asleep in my desk chair in the far corner of my room while I studied. The girl who snuck into my room just to hold my hand. I can’t accept the idea of never touching her again. Of never breathing the same air as her. Of never watching her eyes light up when she talks.”

This book had me on the edge of my seat. It’s a story of loss, love, timing, and the versions of ourselves we leave behind. It explores how love doesn’t always disappear just because life moves forward and how revisiting the past can be both healing and devastating.

I didn’t read this book, I felt it.
It reminded me that the past isn’t something we revisit to live in, but something we carry with us as we grow.

"Don't you miss me.'"
Her face is lit up by the glow of the sunset as her watery eyes focus on me. "Every day."
"Are you sorry.?"
Her tears pour out like a waterfall. "I'm so sorry for everything."
"Then stop punishing yourself. I forgive you."
"Just like that.'"
"We're not meant to be apart, Emma." I touch her hand and hold my breath. "Please come back to me."
She looks at my hand on hers, and I can feel the weight of her stare.
It sends goosebumps up my arm, and I ache for her to want me.
"Are you sure.?" she asks.
"More than anything."

"I don't like seeing you hurt."
"I'd rather be hurt than see you hurt."

i feel like this book had a lot of potential and i enjoyed it, but it wasn’t super well executed. very cute moments though, myles is such a golden retriever

i need a man who will believe in all of my delusions and wait 365 days for me to remember what really happened and be in love with me since he understood what a crush was.


“This is how we were meant to be—inseparable.”

“Emma needed something to hate, so I gave her the only thing I could. Me.”

““Don’t you love me?” I was scared of her answer because it was the lifelong question I’d pushed to the side. It’s an understood truth that a mother should love their child, but mine only seemed to notice me when I acted out. She didn’t reply for a moment, then she looked directly at me. “If you wanted me to love you, then you should’ve made it easier.” That was it. The last thing she said to me before she left.”

Wow… I started reading this book late at night with the plan to only read a couple of chapters and continue reading the next day, but I honestly could not put it down until I was finished.

It was such an amazing story with very complex and real characters. You will feel every emotion as you read through Emma and Myles’ story.

Author created a world where you can easily dive into and imagine you’re watching their story as a bystander.

If you give this book a chance, I can guarantee you will not be disappointed… 100% recommend!!!


Thank you Jasmine Little for another great story.
