reviews volume one: the do-over

a sweet, YA romance book written by lynn painter!

rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

age rec: 15+

synopsis: after a valentine's day goes all wrong, emilie hornby is stuck in a time loop. day after day, she watches her valentine's day repeat itself no matter how hard she tries to change things. her boyfriend still cheats on her and she keeps running into her charming biology seatmate, nick stark. as written on the blurb, 'How many days can one girl passively watch her life go up in flames? And when something good starts to come out of these terrible days, what happens when the universe stops doling out do-overs?'

my review: i absolutely loved this book SO MUCH. it's such a fun read and i DEVOURED it in like an hour or two. it's so engaging and written so well, and still gives me butterflies when i think about it! the plot is so good and addresses themes of self discovery, high school and divorce while tying it in SO WELL with the romance and aaaah! i just love it. i felt a connection to emilie and also to nick a little and it's amazing how attached i am to them now. there are some sad parts which evoked such a response from me (again due to how well written the characters are) and i felt so upset during those bittersweet moments. it's so fluffy and fun and genuinely such a slice of life realistic fiction romance (i know time loops can't happen but aside that.....). i noticed this in better than the movies and betting on you as well, painter's other YA romances, that she really writes characters so so so well. i have a soft spot in my heart for all of them and these couples give me so much happiness! this book, also like her others, is super whimsical and doesn't feel like a drag while it's being read since it's just a fun read.

so i tried to squeeze so much into this tiny review omg but definitely do give this a go! you can read it outside in the summer or curled up in a blanket with hot chocolate and either way, this book will give you the fuzzies for emilie and nick.

100% recommend!

The Do-Over

by Lynn Painter / 4 stars

Lynn Painter does it again! She's definitely a must-read author for me, and her young adult in particular gets me in all the feels.

I grew up watching Groundhog's Day, though strangely enough I feel like I've forgotten 80% of the movie. For someone who's watched it upwards of 20 times, that's concerning. Though the last time I watched it was likely 15 years ago... HOWEVER - if it's anything near as charming as this book, I definitely see a rewatch in my near future.

Emilie is forced to live Valentine's Day over and over. A Valentine's Day that sees her crashing her car - into her grumpy school lab partner, Nick, who doesn't even seem to know she exists. Followed by losing the summer scholarship she's planned her entire summer on - and her hopes of getting into her college of choice. Only to then see her boyfriend kissing his ex, and her dad announcing that he was abandoning her to move with his new family to Texas.

Emilie tries it all. Getting mad. Sobbing. Accepting. Every time, she's sent back to the start of the day. Then she realizes - what's the point? Why not do and say everything she'd never let herself do? While she's at it, why not spend a little more time with Nick, who she's realizing she gets along with a lot more than she could have ever imagined.

Loved, loved this book. From the way her two-home situation was handled - with both parents remarrying and starting new families, leaving her feeling like a guest in both places. To the changes in clothes, as Em decides to be cute, put together, daring, or just giving up. The laugh out loud moments. The squeals at a budding young love you can't root for, and the very best of friendships. The real moments, when things get hard to say and uncomfortable. Finding your way, when you've always tried not to be too loud, too seen.

While it doesn't hold the same place in my heart as Better Than the Movies, it is definitely beyond your average teen romance! Something I think Lynn Painter is going to come through with in many more years to come!

in the hour or so it took me to draw this op turned reblogs off

EDIT: reblogs are STAYING OFF. op was right and correct and i have never regretted making a post as much as this one. if you want to reblog my art you can reblog something else from my blog. or commission me, lord knows i deserve financial compensation for the nightmare this post has put me through

[darkwood-sleddog]

if you're waking up like me thinking "where do we even go from here?"

you:

build community & involve yourself locally

learn self sustainability skills

choose kindness

protect others & yourself

join or build a mutual aid group and/or network

find time for small joys (the arts, cooking a meal you love, spending time with loved ones, etc.)

so i keep thinking about the do-over (2016) and how it wasnt that good of a movie BUT i absolutely loved the first like 15 minutes or so???? i love the chemistry between the sandman and spade. (they need to do more stuff together, just the two of them as leads) hear me out…..this should have been a weird psycho romcom! 1st they have crazy good chemistry (as mentioned before), 2nd it seemed like sandlers character max wanted to majorly impress spades character charlie (obviously for the whole plan to work but idc) 3rd i just totally got the vibe..i cant explain. im so close to rewatching just so i can explain better..might make a better post in the future (after inevitably rewatching the do-over)

am i the only one?????? rewatch the beginning (until theyre in the new house and all) and try to see it from my pov…just high school reunion, new identities, life with a psycho guy who planned this all along..feels like a weird ass romcom!!
