Book Description:
We’ve all had moments of wishing we could turn back the clock and avoid the terrible thing that’s just happened to us. What if that wish came true? Cassandra needs routine like a fish needs water: she has specific pantsuits for each day of the week, sees emotions as colors, and struggles to relate to people in a manner they expect. After she’s dealt a one-two punch of losing her boyfriend and her job in the span of a single morning, her fervent desire for a redo bizarrely comes true. Hoping to change the outcomes, Cassandra tries to do it all “right,” over and over. But what she discovers, and so do we, is that maybe we don’t need fixing. Full of heart, humor, and Greek mythology, Cassandra In Reverse made me laugh out loud and touched my heart in unexpected ways. —Seira Wilson, Amazon Editor
