Publisher's summary

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?

oh my goodness this book is AMAZING!! I love it so much!! this is the best!! I definitely recommend it to those who love a sweet,funny, sad and loving story, the other book ( better than the movies ) is just as good to. I'm definitely getting the next book asap.

GREAT BOOK

I loved the ending and how it was really a mystery if they were going to get back to gather one of my fav books for sure a must read

It was good

This book was predictable. That was to be expected though given that it was described as kind of a "ground hog's day" version of Valentine's Day. I do loooove the way it ended!

Not your average groundhog day!!!

Omg!!! I am currently blinded by my heart-shaped tears and have my own confession: I’m an almost 40 year old woman crushing hard on fictional teen Nick Stark. I’ll be swooning for the rest of the day (or rest of my life).

I fricking love Lynn painters bookkksss such and amazing teen read 😮‍💨 I LOVE THIS BOOK🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼 AMAZING 🥲

super sweet!

although some of it was a bit of predictable, overall super fun and sweet! finished it in a couple of days.

In Love

Bro, this was so cute. And the narrator made it even better. I think it was the nicest little story for Valentine’s Day

Sweet and thought provoking

So sweet and cute and innocent but also thought-provoking on some of the incredibly hard pressures high schoolers face. Love that nothing seemed to be guaranteed and the MC had to work to make her real realizations about what she wanted and deserved. I really loved Jesse Vilinsky performance as well!

YA ROM COM 🤍

So cute! I enjoyed this young adult rom com! Lynn makes reading these rom coms so sweet and fun!

Do-Overing done right

This is a charming story. Life lessons learned in an unusual way. The Characters are slowly developed to show depth. My only issues had to be the miss steps in some of the scenes. Examples: Em's bedroom is in the basement but in one of the scenes she goes "upstairs to her room." In a couple other scenes towards the end, there are unfortunately timeline issues. It's at a point after Em is no longer in the time-loop. There are more than a couple days worth of scenes and suddenly characters are referring to the last Valentine's day as yesterday.
