About this audiobook
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?

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Crying my self out. This was magnificent, in all the expression of the word
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is a perfect book imo. It is filled with cuteness, great banter, funny situations, etc. it was such a good read and I think I like it even more than Better Than The Movies if that’s even possible. I love a good time loop story and enemies to lovers is my fave trope. 10/10 love this book and the author!!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Loved it! I don’t understand boys and them not wanting to express their feelings to the one they like, but otherwise this book was enjoyable.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5So cute , i love the narrator and the characters chemistry. Super cute concept !
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/53.5. Cute story! Predictable, but I still really enjoyed it.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A lighthearted, fun read. I loved Nick's and Emelie's banter and the many cute and funny moments. However, the plot was really predictable.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Me encantó ?. La historia es súper fresquita a pesar de que la trama pasa durante un día en específico por un tiempo. No es repetitivo ni aburrido, al contrario, hay un buen desarrollo de personajes.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Your everyday coming of age story with a time loop thrown - an entertaining story for sure. That being said, there were some parts that made me heaaavily cringe - the same ones I know my 16 your old self would have swooned at. So I think you're at that age - you'll definitely enjoy this much more!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Such a good book!!!! Read it!!!! You won’t be disappointed ??
