Cute! If you’re a fan of “13 Going on 30” or “Never Have I Ever,” this one’s for you. It’s a young adult rom com about a Charlotte, a high school senior who is a student council officer and stressed-out overachiever. (Hi @amyleabooks, did you happen to base this character on high school me? It’s absurdly relatable and made me chuckle. Why am I like this?!)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Charlotte’s arch-nemesis JT is student council president, and he’s annoyingly charming and likable (annoying to Charlotte that is; to the reader, he is perfect). Everything comes naturally to him, and he is a real thorn in Charlotte’s side. Until she falls off a ladder onto him, and they both wake up as 30 year olds. So how will they get back to the present so they can finish high school?

This was just adorable, a quick read that was total escapism. I was obsessed with Lea’s “Set on You,” so I got this from the library right away, not realizing it was YA. But it’s really refreshing to read YA now and then, so I’m glad I did. Definitely a book you can share with teens too.

Time travel but make it present day

I loved the world Building and the plot the characters mainly the side ones were a little meh loved all the references to the point I just highlighted as many as I could but the I binged the last 30% because I was invested to see where the book tied up loose ends and I was not disappointed so glad I picked this book up!

Cute little palette cleanser book. Easy ready that had me nostalgic of the panther pride days. Very 13 going on 30-esque

This was really cute and I enjoyed it. It’s a theme that has been done before, but it was very enjoyable nonetheless. The characters were fun, and the writing was good.
