About this audiobook
In this “unequivocally hilarious and delightful” (Kirkus Reviews) young adult romp for fans of Recommended for You and A Cuban Girl’s Guide to Tea and Tomorrow, a teen girl has the worst Valentine’s Day ever—only to relive it over and over again.
After living through a dumpster fire of a Valentine’s Day, Emilie Hornby escapes to her grandmother’s house for some comfort and a consolation pint of Ben & Jerry’s. She passes out on the couch, but when she wakes up, she’s back home in her own bed—and it’s Valentine’s Day all over again. And the next day? Another horrendous V-Day.
Emilie is stuck in some sort of time loop nightmare that she can’t wake up from as she re-watches her boyfriend, Josh, cheat on her day after day. In addition to Josh’s recurring infidelity, Emilie can’t get away from the enigmatic Nick, who she keeps running into—sometimes literally—in unfortunate ways.
How many times 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?

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I enjoyed it a lot! It was great and unpredictable.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wasn’t expecting much but really enjoyed this story. Was looking for a sort of palate cleanser after reading a more serious book, darker in tone and this did the trick. I actually prefer this to Better than the Movies, which everyone always recommends. I think the characters feel a bit more real and have some depth.

Cute and sweet, it gave me like 16 wishes vibes - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Loved it! I don’t understand boys and them not wanting to express their feelings to the one they like, but otherwise this book was enjoyable.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/53.5. Cute story! Predictable, but I still really enjoyed it.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Crying my self out. This was magnificent, in all the expression of the word
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Your everyday coming of age story with a time loop thrown - an entertaining story for sure. That being said, there were some parts that made me heaaavily cringe - the same ones I know my 16 your old self would have swooned at. So I think you're at that age - you'll definitely enjoy this much more!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I liked it, was a cute and sweet story to entertain your day.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Me encantó ?. La historia es súper fresquita a pesar de que la trama pasa durante un día en específico por un tiempo. No es repetitivo ni aburrido, al contrario, hay un buen desarrollo de personajes.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A lighthearted, fun read. I loved Nick's and Emelie's banter and the many cute and funny moments. However, the plot was really predictable.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book was a cute funny light but sincere read
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is a perfect book imo. It is filled with cuteness, great banter, funny situations, etc. it was such a good read and I think I like it even more than Better Than The Movies if that’s even possible. I love a good time loop story and enemies to lovers is my fave trope. 10/10 love this book and the author!!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Sorry, but the narration was cringey. I tried to push for it, but it was a really a no for me.
I'll try the book version tho. Just not the Audiobook..1 person found this helpful
