I didn't like it, I not even finished it.

while ellie had to relive her mondays over and over again i reread this book and loved it all over again.
i loved all the different versions of ellie but the one i liked the most was the one where she was just being herself. i loved her best friend owen and their friendship. i loved the humor. i loved the message this book sends across. i loved absolutely everything.
this is such a fun, quick read, u will be flying through the 400+ pages in no time.

Time loop was very, very fun, especially seeing how all the little variations changed things. Ellison is a bit of a blank slate, without a lot of aspirations of her own, and though she gets kind of a groove going, it still feels like she's exchanging Tristan's interests for Owen's. Owen himself isn't super interesting either: I'd rather Ellison focused on student politics instead.

Ellison Sparks is having the worst Monday ever. She runs a red light and gets a ticket while driving herself and her best friend, Owen, to school. She forgets her umbrella and gets soaked in the rain. Right before it's time to take her school picture which turns out terribly, of course. She gives the worst election speech for Junior Class Vice-President in the history of ever. She doesn't make the cut at softball tryouts. Worst of all her dreamy, rockstar boyfriend Tristan dumps her. At the carnival. On what should have been their dream date.

Ellie knows if she just had a second chance she could get Monday right. But what happens when she gets seven chances?

As Ellie tries again and again (and so on) to get her Monday right she starts to realize that maybe the dream Monday she's been chasing isn't so perfect after all in A Week of Mondays (2016) by Jessica Brody.

A Week of Mondays is a fun standalone novel. Although there are some fantasy elements with the repeating day (reminiscent of the movie Groundhog Day), this novel is contemporary at its heart and will appeal to fans of that genre.

Brody makes good use of the repeating days to flesh out Ellie's character and explore different aspects of her life over the course of this unusual week. Readers will also see the scope of the book's plot expand as Ellie begins to delve into other parts of her day including why her parents are fighting every morning and what problems her younger sister is facing at school.

While some of Ellie's decisions may seem obvious to readers from the start, this story is more about the journey than the destination. Ellie's character development and growth over the course the novel more than makes up for any predictability to the plot. The payoff at the end of Ellie's "week" also seamlessly brings every repeated Monday together for a satisfying conclusion to a truly enjoyable story.

A Week of Mondays is a sweet, optimistic novel with a breezy narrative and tons of humor. Highly recommended for readers looking for a new fun diversion.

I worried about reading this book because of how much I liked Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver, which sounded a bit similar to this. I shouldn't have worried! I liked the fun voice Ellie has and her zany ideas. I loved her relationship with her best friend Owen and their banter about legal dramas-- something I'd never seen in YA before.

If you like upbeat contemporary romance, definitely add this one to your reading list!

This was such a fun book. Ellie is a great character.
I enjoyed how Ellie changed things up and finally found herself.

AMAZING. Absolutely amazing. A Week of Monday by Jessica Brody taught me that "our perfect life" can be completely different than what we thought it would be. I taught me that once you find what's perfect for you everything changes and it won't be the same again. The simplest answer might be right under our noses but t it can take us 7 tries to choose the correct answer. This book teaches to do you because you'll end up loving your life.

Cute x's 100. I love Jessica Brody so much for how she gives us these adorable stories and characters.

I am a big Jessica Brody fan. BIG. Every book that I've read of hers makes me feel happy and good-- plus they just flow and come together with perfection.

I wanted to read this when it came out, but somehow it got overlooked. This might be a post for another day, but it got me thinking about how I really need to stop overlooking the cute, fun books for the intense thrillers or serious subject books.

The real reason I started this book though, was because I was SO in the mood for a Groundhog's Day book. I read [b:Neverworld Wake|35482482|Neverworld Wake|Marisha Pessl|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1505270056s/35482482.jpg|56878900] last month, was OBSESSED and had a total book hangover, so I decided to go out and find a book that had the same thing going on. It just so happened that I had this book on my shelf waiting for me, so I dove in.

Groundhog's Day stories are so fun because everyone has days that they'd like a do-over. Ellie gets the ultimate do-over when she gets to repeat the day she gets dumped by her rock star boyfriend over and over again. She knows if she can just figure out the secret code to NOT getting dumped, she'll get out of this loop.

My fave part: The oldies!!! Ellie listens to 60's & 70's R&B and Rock music and I couldn't help but want to fire up my own oldies playlist that I hadn't listened to in a few weeks. I grew up listening to the oldies because of my parents-- and somewhere along the way, I went from thinking they were "lame" to knowing that I was "lame" for thinking that.

I thought this book was pure enjoyment and fun. It was a tad predictable because it's completely obvious where the whole romantic situation is headed, but sometimes that is okay. There is a certain formula to Jessica Brody's books & I'm cool with that.

OVERALL: If you like Groundhog's Day books (and who doesn't?), this book is for you!! It's one girl's quest to NOT get dumped-- but she also ends up finding out a lot about herself in the process. My fave part was the oldies that the main character listened to for every occasion, but you don't have to like the oldies to jam out with Ellie and her 7 Mondays!!
