4/5⭐️

Stuck in a time loop reliving the worst Valentine’s Day, Emilie Hornby is trying everything she can to get out of it.

For starters, she spots her boyfriend kissing his ex. She loses her spot for a scholarship, her dad accepts a new job offer and no matter what Emilie does differently, she keeps crashing into Nick Stark; the surly chem lab partner who pretends to not even know who she is.

While this book is definitely a bit cheesy and predictable, I ate it up

Esta autora siempre hace que se me enternezca el corazón. Hace que lo simple en unos gestos sea precioso y es lo que más me gusta de ella pues no necesita escribir spice, NO LO NECESITA cuando las interacciones de sus personajes son tan dulces y tiernas.

Elegí leer este libro porque veía que entraba en bloqueo por culpa de otro libro pero gracias a este y en las pocas horas en que me lo he leído no voy a entrar en ello. Le estoy super agradecida, ya puedo continuar con mi ritmo de lecturas!!

Los personajes son unos amores, me veo muy reflejada en Emilie, quien se pone unas pautas por las cuales rige su vida y no sale de ese margen y Nick que es un cínico y siempre espera lo peor.

Ha sido una grata sorpresa ver que el nivel no baja desde "Better than the movies" y que de hecho, van a mejor.

I love a good, cheesy YA story, I did LOVE "better than the movies" and I am obsessed with Lynn Painter constantly quoting Taylor Swift in this book. However, none of this sat right with me. I was so freaking nervous her entire "DONC" day because I had a feeling what happened, would happen, so I wasn’t able to really enjoy her and Nicks "perfect day". It was also weird how they would fall madly in love over the course of one day, like that is just a little too cheesy and stupid for me. I was really hoping the entire time that the plot twist would be that Nick was also in the loop and thats how they were able to fall in love. Obviously, Em got to know the guy over countless days, while he was obsessed with her after just that one day and yeah, it just didn’t sit right with me.

So, quick, easy, sort of cute read, but not for me.
