What a fun read! Woke Up Like This is 13 going on 30 except the main characters hate each other as teens and BOTH have a brief stint in their 30 year old lives. 

Well written & fast paced, Charlotte was VERY similar to 17 year old me, which made reading from her perspective at both 17 & 30 super engaging. As she learns lessons about young life, adulthood, and hard truths about outgrowing your friends, she’s busy planning the perfect prom despite dealing with her nemesis, JT. They learn and grow as teens & as adults & then as teens again in this charming coming of age story. 

Honestly, .5 star off simply because it’s so laughably not possibly for them to PERFECTLY execute the Dirty Dancing lift with zero practice. I believe the full “I woke up 13 years older” thing way more than I believe they actually did that lift.
