"The Do Over" is a captivating book that explores the concept of second chances. I read this book because the first book I read from this author was Better than the Movies and I absolutely loved it. This book was so cute and made me smile but it wasn't as good as Better than the Movies in my opinion.

The time loop concept is creative and fun but can be repetitive. This one was done well but aren’t always my favorite book concepts which is why it was a four star read for me.

Things I loved:
Piggyback rides
Confessions
DNOC
The coat
The final gift

Amazing and sweet rom/com. Highly recommend, 9/10! After reading both ‘the do-over’ and ‘better than the movies’ can I proudly say that I’m excited to read ‘betting on you’ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book was so good. I cried so hard I think is says it all. The saying « to be loved is to be seen » really came to life in this novel.

Time loop books piss me off like I dunno why but they’re just all the same. Also the mc was incredibly reckless and it lowkey pissed me off
