The Girl I Was

De: Jeneva Rose

Narrado por: Hillary Huber

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Perfect Marriage

From New York Times bestselling author, Jeneva Rose, comes a fully updated and expanded edition of THE GIRL I WAS, the first book she ever wrote, featuring six brand-new chapters from a fresh point-of-view.

“If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.”

Alexis Spencer will use any inspirational quote to rationalize her failures and shortcomings. Her closest friends are a distant memory, and her college debt is still as high as the day she left. But that’s all fine and dandy, because “whatever will be, will be.”

However, when Alexis loses her job and her relationship on the same day, there’s no quote strong enough to get her through that. In typical fashion, she blames the world for her problems, including her younger self, who should have tried harder.

Feeling sorry for herself, Alexis finds a bottle of vodka from her college days and goes on a bender, blacking out in the process. Only this time, she doesn’t wake up at home, or in the right city. In fact, she isn’t even in the right year.

Alexis is back in her college town in the year 2002.

Convinced this is her chance to do things over, she heads to her dorm—and comes face-to-face with her eighteen-year-old unruly self, who goes by Lexi because it’s “sexier.” Getting acclimated to life in the early 2000s is the easy part. Dealing with Lexi is where things prove difficult.

They might be the same person, but they couldn’t be more different from one another. Now Alexis and Lexi must learn to get along and come to terms with the fact that alone, they will never make things right, but together, they could change their life for the better.

So different than her other books!

Absolutely loved this book, short and easy to listen too but drew me in immediately.

Love it

Such a great listen, I was a little annoyed at the story line and though this is not going to be as good however I was wrong. The challenge of having met your old self and experiencing stuff again as an older version of yourself. I loved it. Great ending, great storyline.

The ending

This was such a creative story. I have loved all of her books so far. I really love the way this one ended.

Beautiful

Jeneva Mrs. Rose another excellent title perfect narration funny and suspenseful. i enjoy everything about it.🥰🥰🥰

Amazing

I actually enjoyed listening to this book because im in my 30s battling if I only could go back to the younger version of myself and change some things. So this book was spot on. Healing is all I can say

Great message

Distinguishing between the two versions of herself was sometimes confusing, I could only stay focused if I kept reading, not if I set the book down. Overall great story and message!

The girl I was

I have never had a book make me tear up before. This was very well written and I enjoyed it a lot!

Great listen

One of my top 3 Jenna Rose books. Brought back so many memories and nostalgia growing up. Highly recommend

Anything by Jeneva is worth reading !

If only all of us could return to our younger selves! I love Jenevas writing!
