A review by elisehedlund
A Week of Mondays by Jessica Brody
5.0
I wasn't sure about how this book was going to turn out, but I know [a:Jessica Brody|1164465|Jessica Brody|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1201278268p2/1164465.jpg] is a wonderful author so I was excited to try it. Well, I loved it!
Junior Ellie Sparks is so relatable, and so is her sister. I feel like many authors in trying to create a good plot lose so much of that relatability as soon as something exciting happens to the protagonist. This book had none of that. Sure, none of us are ever going to get a chance to repeat a day (probably), but I still understood Ellie so much and felt for her, even if I couldn't relate to exactly what she was going through.
Ellie wakes up to the worst Monday of her life. Everything possible goes wrong (and I mean everything). At the end of the day, all she wants is a do-over.
And that's what she gets. I love that when she wakes up on Tuesday (erm, Monday) it takes her a while to figure out what's happening. Since we all knew that's what would happen, I was not surprised, but Ellie sure was, which made the story so much more real.
I love the cover of the book because it shows so much what the book is about. Ellie's reactions to each Monday, as they differ so much from day to day, are incredible and so well written. Even more than that, I love the character development, not just Ellie's, but also the other characters, even though technically they are living the same day over and over, not changing their fate.
I couldn't help picking up this book every chance I got. I love the message, and the writing and characters were so good! Loved it!
