What the Book is About
Finn and Ezra don’t have much in common. Finn is an only child and star student – he's desperate to get into a good college so can get some space from his overprotective parents. Ezra is the often-overlooked middle child from a large, chaotic, Orthodox family. Their lives collide when they end up in a time loop, celebrating their bar mitzvahs at the same New Jersey hotel over and over again. Despite their differences, the boys have to work together to figure out what’s going on, why it’s happening, and how to end the loop. With each reset, the boys uncover family secrets and learn more about themselves and each other. But will they be ready to exit the loop when the time comes?
Jewish Content and Values
- Finn & Ezra are both celebrating their bar mitzvahs on the same day, in the same hotel.
- Ezra and his family are Orthodox. Ezra attends an Orthodox Jewish school, the family keeps kosher, and they don’t drive or use technology on Shabbat.
- Finn and his family are Reform Jews and Finn started studying for his bar mitzvah relatively recently.
Content Advisory
The boys engage in some questionable behavior, like fixing the lottery, in order to take the next step in resolving the time loop. They both have misgivings about it.
