Book Blurb:
In this riotous young adult romp for fans of Recommended for You and A Cuban Girl’s Guide to Tea and Tomorrow, a teen girl has the worst Valentine’s Day ever—only to relive it over and over again.
After living through a dumpster fire of a Valentine’s Day, Emilie Hornby escapes to her grandmother’s house for some comfort and a consolation pint of Ben & Jerry’s. She passes out on the couch, but when she wakes up, she’s back home in her own bed—and it’s Valentine’s Day all over again. And the next day? Another nightmare V-Day.
Emilie is stuck in some sort of time loop nightmare that she can’t wake up from as she re-watches her boyfriend, Josh, cheat on her day after day. In addition to Josh’s recurring infidelity, Emilie can’t get away from the enigmatic Nick, who she keeps running into—sometimes literally—in unfortunate ways.
How many days can one girl passively watch her life go up in flames? And when something good starts to come out of these terrible days, what happens when the universe stops doling out do-overs?
My Review:
This is a fun and fabulous time-loop YA Contemporary read, highly recommended!
Readers follow our narrating main character, Emilie, as she re-lives Valentine's Day on a loop, trying desperately to reach February 15th. First, four major things seem to fall apart that day; with her car, her boyfriend, her summer plans, and her family. So the first time she gets to re-live the day, she tries a different approach, tries to fix something. Then she tries to fix all of the big things. Emilie is already a people-pleaser and a straight-A student, so she's resourceful and she has ideas, but it seems that the universe, and the time-loop, are out to teach her that not everything is within her control to fix.
Emilie's friends, family, and a fellow student named Nick, play major supporting roles in her day and it's really fun to watch the different interactions she has with them all. Emilie is really easy to root for.
