There are some stupid and silly things in there (following a 50s How To Keep Your Man…? Choices) but I liked that she opens the window, finally, and it’s cute, I guess.

“A small shift in perspective and everything falls into place”
This was a nice contemporary YA with a little magic touch that could very well be a Disney Channel movie, and I would watch it and enjoy it (and maybe like it a little bit more than I did the book), because it had this teen movie vibe. It was a nice little book to read in-between high fantasy or books that leave you with this big hangover (like I just had with "A Torch Against The Night"), because it's funny and cute. It wasn't fantastic, but it was short and enjoyable, although very predictable. Within the first few chapters, I already knew exactly what would happen and how the book would end. The characters were a little flat and underdeveloped and only the main protagonist had this major character development through the novel, and it was filled of this annoying high-school YA tropes, and I failed to connect with some of the situations - especially the 'guide to understand men' scene, that really pissed me off, especially after reading a feminist AF book like "Beauty Queens". That didn't stopped me from enjoying the novel and the story for what it is, and if you're looking for a simple, easy and beachy-like read, this book is definitely the right choice.

This book is similar to Lauren Oliver’s Before I Fall but this is infinitely better. I like the protagonist’s voice. And although her main goal at first was petty, you start to discover certain aspects to her life and personality that were not presented before. It’s cute. And funny. I like it. Although I rate it four stars because I feel like the 6th Monday was uneventful.

I really enjoyed Ellison's ride through the 7 Mondays she had and how each Monday taught her something new. It's really amazing to watch the characters develop and to see their failures and everything. I enjoyed the book. It's a good one, that before reading I thought it would be boring but turned out to be cool.

My initial thought was that this book would be another flop, but it ended up being so cute! It made me laugh, it made me say "awww" and it made me root for the characters. It was a light-hearted, very quick and easy read. :)

First of all, I would like to take a moment to recognize this cover . Yes, the girl and he guy are both relatively crusty . And I had many people look at my book and ask ,”why is the girl different in all the pictures but the guy is exactly he same?” I continued to explore the answer to this baffling question . But it really is an amazing example of foreshadowing ! I mean, Ellie , the main character, tried to be different people in every Monday so that she can get the outcome she THINKS she wants . But really , she never ends up getting what she wants , and Tristan usually has the same response to her at the end of the day . That is, until the LAST Monday . But by then Tristan is practically nothing to her .
Anyways, yes , as soon as Owen was introduced as Ellie’s best friend , it was preeeeeety obvious she would end up with him over Tristan . But that did not , however , make his book any less addicting . Not that I expect less from Jessica Brody . But . I have run out of her books . So after I finish this review and decide what to read next , I’m prolly gonna order some more of her amazing books .
In conclusion , this book has one side effect . Depression and Struggle to Choose a New Book to Read because you Know it won’t be as Good as this one . Anyways , this book was amazing . So . Read it !!

3.5/5 ♡ this book was adorable, entertaining, and fun, but also frustrating at times.
i'm not sure if i'm getting tired of YA romance, but this wasn't as enjoyable as i thought it'd be. the characters and situations felt as if they were taken out of a disney channel show. it made me laugh and smile at first, but after a while it became draggy. it was really unrealistic. but sometimes, you NEED those types of stories so i appreciated it nonetheless.
i love the concept and idea behind the plot. reliving one day until it's perfect? and when it becomes perfect, being forced to relive it because your idea of "perfect" still wasn't quite right? this is a book that's all about ~finding yourself~ and understanding who and what matters in your life. people will come and go; knowing who is important to you now is a great thing to recognize.
although the characters could be annoying and the situations could be artificial, i really enjoyed myself! the story was really fun and easy to get into, and it often felt like i was watching a movie. the book did feel a bit long at times, but i still finished it really quickly and easily. a great read if you're looking for something lighthearted and cute!
