Cassandra in Reverse book review
Updated: Aug 24
So what happens when your sister is stalking you that you don't want to talk to anymore because she was emotionally abusive to you, but like she didn't know that you were on the autistic spectrum, and that's why you guys aren't the same? Keep reading to find out what book I'm reviewing today.
Hey friends, it's Kyla Denanyoh. Today, we are discussing sibling relationships, complicated families, and being on the autistic spectrum. We are also debating Holly Smale's novel Cassandra in Reverse, which is fiction with a fantasy theme.
This book is all about time traveling and going back and what happens if and then if you change that. So if Gwyneth Paltrow and Sliding Doors had a sister, that would be Cassandra in Reverse. Will this book review have spoilers? Yes, most of them do, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't read the book.
So I've been seeing this book everywhere. I finally picked it up and read it: Phenomenal. So good. So you're following Cassandra. She wears the same thing on specific days. Monday is the navy jumper. Tuesday is the yellow jumper. On Wednesday, all her colleagues know that if she's wearing the navy jumper, it must be this day. If she's wearing the green jumper, it must be that day. She likes decency. She likes order. She likes things in a very particular way.
And so I enjoy reading these books because I would never want to change anything. I have had some moments that I regret. I've had some moments that have gutted me. I have had some moments that have just shocked me to my core, and I would not redo it because all of those things got me to where I am right now. And I know you could be rolling your eyes. Still, I promise you that when you change one thing, if I wear a different outfit, it will give you a different perception while watching this video.
If you show up in your life, real present, the decision you made at that time was a decision you wanted. When you trust yourself, you don't want to redo things. And I say all that because she wants to find a life or an alternate reality where Will does not break up with her. So I'm not gonna wear this dress, or I'm gonna sit at that table. And then, when he comes into the coffee bar, this will happen.
She changes one thing; she decides to put her bag in the chair while she sits at that chair and then can't find a seat, so he leaves the coffee shop; they don't meet, or she decides she's gonna sit this way not facing the door and then will feel like she's not inviting so he sits at the following table. All of it has to happen the way it's supposed to happen. And I'm sure there are alternate realities and different versions of me elsewhere. And I hope they're wearing pink lipstick and having fun.
Reading about people who make changes and mess up their whole life is fun. It is fun to watch sliding doors and be like, oh, my gosh, he still gets with him at the end. Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.
I hoped for that ending here, but we don't get it. We find out that the letters from the long-lost love are not romantic. They're from a family member who misses Cassie and asks, "Can you just talk to me?"
And so at that time, Cassandra has a reckoning with herself when she's like, well, I'm autistic. You didn't know that I didn't even know. We find out that, like, her mother had been tested for autism. She found out that Cassandra was on there, and they would have to tell her. They never get a chance to talk to her, and it enlightens Cassandra about the many burdens that she has lived with her entire life.
It is heartwarming but enlightening for all of us because it makes us wonder, what if something you knew had allowed everything to have been different? If she had known that she was autistic her whole life, she could have told people; maybe they would have been more gracious to her, more compassionate toward her, and more compassionate toward herself.
Cassandra has that reckoning, but it's late. It's after her parents have passed, and a lot of things would have changed had she known right. So once we find that out, we're very close to the end, and then the book ends. So, Holly, I would take another version where she finds out that she's autistic earlier, and then what happens if she changes a couple of things.
