Woke Up Like This: A Novel by Amy Lea
5.0
✨17 Going on 30✨
Listen, the book was perfect. I don’t have much else to say. It delivered exactly what we were promised and a whole lot more. Waking up 13 years from prom engaged to your nemesis is actually such a bucket list item now??? Would I technically have to time travel back to 17 and then jump forward again? Shhhh.
There’s something about an Amy Lea book that feels so personal, and Woke Up Like This is THE example. It perfectly captures the nostalgia of 13 Going on 30, while creating a book that is incredibly unique yet entirely relatable. Char and J.T. gave incredible LJ and Peter K. vibes—literally the book references them! I love when I can tell an author is paying homage like that; it always makes the book feel more genuine. Woke Up Like This read like a love letter to romcoms.
Between Exes and O’s and Woke Up Like This, it’s safe to say that Amy Lea absolutely has my number. She’s an auto-read author for me and now she may be an auto-WATCH one as well??? I know it’s already been optioned, so I’m quite literally counting down the days until I can watch the movie version. Fingers and everything else crossed. I need it so fundamentally. In the mean time, I can’t wait for the audiobook <3
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
Thanks so much to the author and her publicist for gifting me review copies! All opinions are honest and my own.
