Amy Lea is an automatic-buy author for me after reading the first two books of her “Influencer series” (Set on You and Exes & O’s, with The Catch coming out in 2024!). She knows how to write relatable and endearing characters, so I was very excited to read Woke Up Like This. As someone who watched “13 Going on 30” several times over the years (yikes…I am getting old….the movie came out in 2004), I knew immediately I was going to love this book! And I did! It was heartwarming, sweet, and a cozy read before I dive into all of my fall seasonal reads.
This book is perfect for someone looking for a very similar storyline to “13 Going on 30”, a great arc of enemies-to-friends-to-lovers, as well as a small town/hometown romance.
A huge thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an Advanced Reader Copy of this book in exchange for a honest review!

What happens if you fall through time and wind up engaged to your worst enemy? I’m this cute 13 going on 30 esque rom com that’s exactly what happens to Charlotte and JT while they’re setting up for prom.
This book was adorable and the plot was a fun twist on one of my favorite movies.
