I adored this book. It's a great time travel, second-chance romance and I couldn't put it down. Jacob was such a cinnamon roll and I was obsessed with him immediately. The baking aspect was wonderful and I wanted to try every single thing that Sadie made. The found family vibes were incredible and everyone at the Zoe's was delightful. This book just felt like a warm hug and I liked that Sadie found herself in addition to the love story. Great friendships, great New York setting, great self-discovery, and I just had a great time. I also really liked that it wasn't full Groundhog Day. Instead of the same day over and over again, Sadie went through her entire year which I thought provided her with a lot of growth. This was very cute and I'm excited to see what Melissa will do next! Thank you to Forever for providing me with an ARC to read and review!
