I loved this one! It was so close to a 5 star read for me! I just wish we got Andrew's POV too especially during the third act conflict when he was being a little frustrating. But overall this was so cute, sweet and funny! I didn't go to bed till I finished it!

I really thought thr end would be different. It was very anti-climactic. The main characters' relationship felt very forced. Just...meh.

This was a fun, breezy holiday read. It had more than a few plot holes - time travel books often do. But I don’t think you’re supposed to think too hard about this sort of book anyway. Recommend for a romantic distraction, but it’s not amazing.

i usually don’t like ground hog day based things but this book was really interesting. it was a little predictable but not in a cliche way. it was a nice read, the beginning just set me off a little cause of the repetitiveness but overall it was really enjoyable.

This, overall, was a very cute book. However, I really thought the ending would be completely different. I feel like the resolution was missing. She keeps going back in time, and I thought she'd wake up in the hospital having a strong self-confidence to go after what she wanted, but that never happened. I would recommend reading it for sure, but the ending didn't leave me with a nice, satisfied feeling.

Mae's family has been holidaying in a cabin in Utah with her parents college friends and their own families or 25 years and on the last morning they get told that it will be the last time they will be in the cabin as its being sold.

As she and her family are driving away she doesn't know what she wants anymore so she says to the universe show me what makes me happy, they immediately get hit from a truck and Mae wakes up on a plane thinking she slept whilst they put her on a plane.  But in reality she has went back in time six days so the cabin visit hasn't happened.

So she has to try to determine on what she wants, is it the cabin or is it her childhood crush her mum's bestfriends son Andrew.  As she struggles to decipher what she wants the universe isn't going to make it easy for her to leave happy.

Notes and opinions:
These books by CL are getting harder and harder for me to read. Out of all the latest ones they’ve released this has been the best, unfortunately thats still not a good thing! I don’t know what these two authors have been thinking lately but I’m not liking if, and I know I’m not alone. I love the concept of this book I just feel that it was portrayed incorrectly. It could have been done a lot better. I feel as though the two main characters this was about were just forced together by the authors, I didn’t really feel a connection between the two. Maybe that’s why I didn’t enough it much...
Overall rating (1-5 stars): 3/5
