It’s odd to find a book where I really enjoy the writing but am really bored/underwhelmed by the story. This book featured some of the most relatable inner monologue I’ve read, but the story was very lack luster to me.
Gwen’s already having a rough go of things when she somehow gets trapped in the same Christmas Day over & over. As she sets out granting wishes in an attempt to get to tomorrow, she also nurses her teenage crush on the boy next door.
With the exception of an explosion, everything goes pretty much how you’d expect. I did really enjoy the writing & most of the characters, but the overall story and the romance fell a bit flat imo.
