Despite a resolution to post reviews soon after I finish the book I am behind on my January reads. This was a surprise 5 star read. I picked it from the TBR Jar and it ended up being great timing since the book is set a New Years where the main character Sadie wishes for a do-over of the past year. I liked that it wasn't a one for one last time this event happened and I'm going to do better. There were some obviously, but it did make it feel like her decisions had stakes. This book had my favorite early 2000s rom com vibes while still dealing with some heavier stuff (trigger warning for sexual harassment). I read this book in one sitting i liked it so much.
