At a school where Quantum Paradox 101 is a required course and history field trips are literal, sixteen year-old time traveler Bree Bennis excels…at screwing up.
After Bree botches a solo midterm to the 21st century by accidentally taking a boy hostage (a teensy snafu), she stands to lose her scholarship. But when Bree sneaks back to talk the kid into keeping his yap shut, she doesn’t go back far enough. The boy, Finn, now three years older and hot as a solar flare, is convinced he’s in love with Bree, or rather, a future version of her that doesn’t think he’s a complete pain in the arse. To make matters worse, she inadvertently transports him back to the 23rd century with her.
Once home, Bree discovers that a recent rash of accidents at her school are anything but accidental. Someone is attacking time travelers. As Bree and her temporal tagalong uncover seemingly unconnected clues—a broken bracelet, a missing data file, the art heist of the millennium—that lead to the person responsible, she alone has the knowledge to piece the puzzle together. Knowledge only one other person has. Her future self.
But when those closest to her become the next victims, Bree realizes the attacker is willing to do anything to stop her. In the past, present, or future.

Jennifer’s Review of Loop
Review (4 Stars): This book was an interesting premise for me and I really enjoyed the characters even though there were times that Bree got a little on my nerves. Bree goes back in time as part of her midterm exam but things don’t go the way that she planned and she has to go back to make things right. But when she goes back a second time, she learns that she had already been again and now her life may be in jeopardy because of what her future self knows.
I absolutely adored Finn and how he was doing whatever he could to protect Bree from the person that was trying to hurt them. No questions asked, he was the perfect boyfriend even when Bree was doing her best to try to push him away from her. I loved the mystery aspect of Loop and was trying to figure out what had really happened to Bree’s mom and what secrets she was supposed to discover that had put her life in such peril. Looking forward to reading the next book, Twist, to see how this story continues.

Ya know… I’ve racked my brain and I really can’t think of one… Oh wait! No Proper Lady by Isabel Cooper. That was like terminator in reverse/my fair lady all in one. Thanks for sharing!
