About this ebook
A New York Times Bestseller
In this “unequivocally hilarious and delightful” (Kirkus Reviews) young adult rom-com from the New York Times bestselling author of Better Then the Movies, 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 horrendous 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 times 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?

I'm not a fan of the ground hog day plot (on any movie or book), but the sweet and thoughtful moments outweighed my dislikes.

At this point, give me anything by my queen. I read this during valentines Day. actually, one of the first books I read by her would start my love for her. The plot got repetitive, but she relives the same day over over over-over-over. But Nick my manz🥰🥰. He was so cute I love a grumpy x sunshine. I recommend this book to rom-com lovers😆
