“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, which encourages fellow bloggers to spotlight upcoming releases that we’re excited about. However, as Jill is no longer actively posting, from now on I’ll be linking to Can’t Wait Wednesday, hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings, which is a spinoff of the original WoW meme.
Today’s selection and book I’m excitedly awaiting is:
The Do-Over
by Lynn Painter
Young Adult – Romance – Contemporary
November 15th, 2022
Goodreads
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?
A story with a time loop and a grumpy/sunshine couple? Yes please!
Tell Me:
Will you be reading this book?
I’m really excited for this one too. I love this author’s sense of humor and just know this is going to be a fun read.
I’m glad to hear you love this author! I haven’t read anything by her yet so I’ll need to check out her backlist.
This sounds so great! I also love time loops and grumpy/sunshine characters so I think this book would be a hit!
Hope you’ll also love this one if you decide to try it!
This one wasn’t really on my radar, but I am waiting for her next adult release. I hope you love this one.
Thanks! I didn’t know of any of her other or upcoming books so I’ll need to check those out too.
It’s kind of a sequel to the last one.
Or I mean series with some of same characters.
