It's just over two-hundred pages long, making it a quick read, which was nice. But I liked it! Ben and Maggie were good, fun characters, and I liked to read about their adventures as they tried to defeat the loop.Īt its core, The Loop is a simple novel. It's more like two people being pushed together and fighting to live through the day, with some romance weaved in. The two are definitely stuck together, and Ben-whose POV we're mostly in-feels something for Maggie, but it's not this great big romantic time travel thing. The synopsis makes it sound like Ben and Maggie are two starcrossed lovers stuck in a time loop, which I don't think is accurate. But Ben and Maggie still try every single time to find a way to beat the loop, which is no easy task. And then they wake up and do the same thing over and over again. The loop is basically a giant pull: Ben and Maggie always find each other, this and this always happens, and the day always ends the same way, with them dying. Maggie remembers the details better, but until Ben runs into Maggie (and he always does), he just feels a lot of deja vu. In short, they repeat the same day over and over again, like Groundhog Day. The Loop follows Ben and Maggie, two teens who are stuck in the same loop. It just lacked a bit of a wow factor, but was still a quick, enjoyable, fun read.

It didn't even have much of anything wrong with it. But it was still good and I really liked it, if that makes sense. I don't mean this to sound rude or harsh-it's just poor word choice-but this wasn't some amazing OH MY GOSH YOU HAVE TO READ THIS book. Sometimes you read a book that's good and enjoyable and that's about it (but in a good way).
