Heidi Heilig DON'T. RUN. RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN.

Seriously, do it if you want to but be aware that time loops and twists can be brain breaking, especially when there are sequels. I also recommend working from the ending backwards--figure out the twist first, then write towards it, so you can foreshadow and make it seem really pleasing and also surprising.

I'm making it sound easy but really these books took a lot of thinking and rewriting, so don't get down on yourself if it takes a while!
