The Do-Over
I honestly really like this book. It's very cute, but not that memorable.
One thing that I thought was a bit unrealistic wasthe death of nick's brother on Valentines dag AND Emilie's weird time mishap on Valentines day I just think it's very coincidental, but it is a story, so it makes sense.
I also don't really like that the time mishap doesnt get explained properly. And Emilie is SO CHILL about it! How? I would be crying my eyeballs out. But that's beside the point.
The core story is great, and I like Emilies character. Nick.. on the over hand... I get that he's a bad boy, okay? But he's just so meh.
It's not a bad book though! I'd re-read it, and recommend for a fun time. (It did bring me into a reading slump, but I think that's a me thing)
Those are my thoughts!
