The Do-Over

I'm not going to rate this book because I'm clearly not the target, and I feel it will be unfair. I didn't like it though. I've found it very poor, both in terms of the Romance and the issues surrounding teens lives. I remember reading better books than this, with good communication examples between teens and their families.

There was only one thing I liked in this book: the day with Nick.

Emilie is silly, and I don't have much to say beside this. It would be much more probable for a child of a broken and unhappy marriage to not believe in love, than being obsessed with the perfectly Valentine's Day, at 16! Are 16 years old still believing they find the love of their lives at that age?

After the Groundhog Day, Emilie learned very little, keeps being silly, but now she wants to have summer holidays instead of investing time on the journalism program that would help her with college applications. Is this advice we want to give? I 100% support this, in Europe, where you can easily have access to a good education, but never in the USA, where this stuff counts for the applications.
Emilie suffers close to none consequences for rude and bad behavior, and life goes on.

The resolution of the parental conflict is only partially, and briefly mentioned, and we don't see any real communication happening.

This is another book more focused on inserting Taylor Swift references than telling a good story.

If it wasn't for a buddy read I would have DNF in the first chapters. Thank you Inês Só Mais uma Página for explaining me the references I would never get
