Oh! My! Goodness! Erin does it again! I just absolutely adored this book and I just loved Grandma Pearl. She’s not a regular grandma, she’s a cool grandma!
I was hooked by the very first page when the author named one of my favourite songs from the 2000s! My millennial heart couldn’t love this book anymore than I already do!
Sam left the town of Tybee, and Damon behind twenty years ago to chase her dream of becoming a pilot. Present day, her grandmother decided she was going to sell her childhood home and Sam goes back to Tybee to help. Sam goes into her childhood room and finds the CD player with the last mixed CD her best friend, Damon made for her. The CD player still works after twenty years and each track she listens, brings her to “what could have been” world of her and Damon.
This has 13 Going on 30 vibes and so much nostalgia (at least for me) that I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I devoured it and I cannot wait to see what else Erin writes because I’ll definitely be buying it!
This book comes out July 16th so make sure to go pick up a copy because this is such a cute read! Thank you to Erin, Justine from Canary House Press and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I’m sure a millennial who used to listen to emo music would love the nostalgia. But I did not the mystery compelling, the time travel had a strange method, and the romance was rushed in a weird way.
I find magical realism hit and miss in romance novels but I loved this and enjoyed the yearning and regrets.

Intrigued by the cover and the storyline. Loved the book and the awesome soundtrack (qr code in the back of the book for the Spotify playlist of the songs). The flashbacks a very well written and all of it reminds me of high school. Fun read

Give me any kind of time travel, time loop, going back to fix wrongs and I’m all there. I really like how she used music as the way to go back in time. How fun it would be to see yourself as a teenager when you’re an adult.
