The Do-Over by Sharon M. Peterson

5.0

I don’t generously give out 5 star ratings but this book is everything. The writing style was perfection, the flow of the story kept me intrigued, and I didn’t want to put this book down. I found myself chuckling, swooning, and crying while devouring the book in practically one sitting. (Seriously - 20% to 100% because I couldn’t put it down)

Perci Mayfield finds herself boyfriendless, jobless, and with a mother that makes her feel worthless compared to her sister. Thanks to her best friend, she sets out to find the “new Perci” and along the way find a new friend, Nate, who while pretending to be her fake boyfriend, ends up actually dating him.

The relationship between Perci and Nate was so enjoyable to read. Perci was so relatable and the family dynamics is one that I think a lot of readers could relate to as well. More so, I loved the character development over the course of the story. The family realizing how toxic that they were being, but understanding that things can change - not overnight, but realistically over the course of time.

Huge Kudos to Sharon M Peterson on your debut book - I can’t wait for future releases!
Thank you to #NetGalley and Bookouture for the e-ARC in exchange for my honest review.
