I recommend this book if you like: 
-YA High school setting 
-Time travel to the future 
-Enemies to lovers trope 

I picked this book up on Amazon First Reads as it has a storyline I’ve never came across before. It did not disappoint. I loved the characters, the writing style and the story came together really well. 

Charlotte is on the student council getting set up for prom with her arch nemesis J.T. Renner when she has a fall off the ladder and Renner cushions the blow. When they both come to, something strange has happened; they have been catapulted into the future where they are both 30 years old instead of 17. Even weirder – they live together and they get married in one week! 

I loved following the journey and such a storyline prompts you to think of your own life. If you got to see in the future would there be regrets? Things you might change if given the chance? 

Charlotte certainly learned from her future self and made sure when she went back to being 17 to fix her relationship with her dad before that opportunity was taken from her. Charlotte also realises an important lesson about friendships and how some friendships are not meant to last forever and that is ok. 

I loved the slow burn enemies to lovers storyline. I was rooting for Char and Renner. I am so glad it all worked out back at prom night.  

I would definitely read a sequel book if it was in the works! I want to follow the character’s story.
