The Do-Over

Lynn Painter, you've done it again.

I can't explain what exactly it is about Painter's writing that has me kicking my feet and swooning like a teenager again. The best way to get close to an explanation would have to be because every time I read one of her works I feel like I'm being transported back to when I was in high school, experiencing the highs and lows of growing older and the feeling of falling in love for the first time. It's so nostalgic in the best way possible.

I loved Emilie and Nick's characters. For her whole life, it was about having control, being perfect and making sure everything was on track and in order. Nick comes into her life and shows her that there's more to life than that and helps her learn to be herself and have fun. Nick is so smitten and swoon-worthy. I genuinely want to keep him in my pocket always.

They had the best banter and I found myself giggling on multiple occasions but I expect nothing less when they are written by Lynn Painter.

I knew from the premise that I would be sold. Groundhog's Day set on Valentine's Day? Absolutely.

I won't say anything more because I don't want to spoil but I had so much fun with this and I am so happy I finally decided to pick this up.
