Cassandra in Reverse

Cassandra in Reverse by Holly Smale is a captivating tale about Cassie, a woman who has never quite fit in. She remembers everything, understands nothing, and often says the wrong thing.

On a particularly challenging day, Cassie finds herself dumped, fired, and even deprived of her favourite banana muffins—all at once. It feels like the end of the world for her. However, she soon discovers an extraordinary ability: the power to go back and change the past.

With countless chances to get things right, Cassie embarks on a journey to prevent everything from going wrong. But the question remains, with the power to change the past, where would you start?

Featured on Woman's Hour, BBC Radio 2 Book Club, and praised by major publications like The Times and Daily Mail, Cassandra in Reverse is set to take the paperback market by storm in 2024.
