I really loved the ending! I mean, Lynn Painter always knows how to make me cry but I found the ending of this book just so sweet.

This was very much a cute and fun high school rom-com. What's not to like? Reliving Valentine's Day over and over is a trope as old as time. Just like Better than the Movies, this book was lighthearted, fun, and adorable. It's not earth-shattering or life-altering, but just like the best Netflix original movies, it is an enjoyable way to spend your weekend without taking up too much brain space. Someone get me a lil charmer like Nick.

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.
