desertcart.co.jp: The Do-Over : Painter, Lynn: Foreign Language Books Review: The Do Over - I wasn’t quite sure if I would like this book, but I ended up absolutely loving it. This book was just so cute and funny, and it was a crossover between Ferris Buellers Day Off and Groundhog Day. I normally try and over the cliche of the time loop, but this ended up being my book club @friendswithbooks April book of the month. So I decided I would give it a go and I am so happy I did, this was just perfect. A 100/10 read and a definite recommendation. “It occurred to me that the two of us were seeing that moment in entirely different ways. I was desperately hopeful that he would remember it all the next day, and he was memorizing every moment to look back upon fondly” Review: Sweet, heartfelt Rom-Com - This book is about the 16 year old Emilie, who wants to have the perfect Valentines Day. And the charming yet gloomy looking Nick, who couldn't care less about this day. But when they meet each other, and in some ridiculous situations at that, both are not so sure if their perception about this day is the right one. I loved these two MCs. They are acting like their age (+ life experience), but they are still reasonable about their behaviour towards others. For example, Em sees her boyfriend kissing another girl, Macy. At sixteen, you think it's the worst feeling ever, because how dare he and what not. The consideration, if he doesn't kiss her in this time loop, then it didn't happen, is correct but futile. It shows that she is still just sixteen and learning about what she wants in life. Because you can think like that and if you happy with it, be my guest. But in my opinion, if you have to actively stop your boyfriend from kissing another girl, he doesn't deserve your time. So she deals with it but accordingly to a teenager. In the beginning I had some hesitation because of her age, because usually I like my FMCs a little bit older. More in the New Adult Genre but Emilie's age is not too pronounced and doesn't slip into childish. Nick is a charming young boy, who doesn't care about Valentines Day. He sees Em like she really is and doesn't entertain her antics about a 'perfect' day and leads her more to an 'happy' day. But read it for yourself and find out what I mean by that 😉 This book has charme, quip and an adorable lovestory. So all in all 5 stars.
