Cassandra in Reverse by Holly Smale

If you possessed the ability to reshape history, where would your journey begin? Cassandra Penelope Dankworth is a staunch creature of habit, embracing her preferences (museums, jumpsuits, her devoted boyfriend, Will) and resisting vehemently against the things she despises (clutter, upheaval, her boss's unwarranted mug indulgence). Her life unfurls in a reassuring, well-worn pattern... until now.

In the blink of an eye, her world crumbles:

- She's been unceremoniously dumped.

- She's been summarily terminated from her job.

- Her beloved local café has disappointingly depleted its stock of banana muffins.

Then, a truly astonishing revelation occurs: Cassie stumbles upon the extraordinary ability to journey back in time and reshape her own past. One tentative step backward at a time, Cassie embarks on a quest to mend the life she inadvertently shattered. Yet, she will soon come to realize that her efforts may be directed at the wrong facets of her existence.
