MINOR SPOILERS for the premise:
This was a fun twist on a sort of Groundhog Day premise: whenever the protagonist goes to sleep, she wakes up on another day further into the past. It's also a pulpy murder mystery, where we have seen the murder and now have to discover the events leading up to it as they happen, but in reverse. A neat idea!
I was really along for the ride the entire time, as the protagonist isn't stupid and tries interesting ways to deal with her situation, and the writing clips along at a good place. There are fun reveals and I kept adjusting my theories and looking for clues.
Unfortunately, I wasn't super satisfied by the ending, and a lot of the enjoyment of the book is in trying to piece together what happened, so it makes the whole thing a bit less interesting in retrospect. There are still elements of the ending I enjoyed, but the central mystery was a bit meh.
Still, I had a great time with this and it was a fun, quick read.
