"Frankie remembered that she hadn't hated it. That it felt familiar, comforting almost. That something about Ezra Jones sent a charge through her, through her veins, through her blood, through her guts, and when she kissed him, that electrical pulse raced inside her just as it always had."
The Rewind was cute. It didn't pack as much Y2K nostalgia as I expected, but it was a perfect palette cleanser of a happily-ever-after romcom. I am a sucker for a good second-chance romance, and Frankie and Ezra provided just that as they retraced their (mis)steps following some possible debauchery on the eve of their friends' wedding.
Frankie, Ezra and their friends were the same age as me and, as such, some of their ruminations about life and careers and what they thought the future would look like after college hit particularly close to home. "It was easy, necessary, to think that grownups got their lives together after college. To learn that life remained as messy at thirty-two as it was at twenty-two was to shatter the illusion that came with post-graduation dreams." Ouch. 😂
