The Do-Over

Author: Lynn Painter

Book Description:

Emilie Hornby’s Valentine’s Day is a disaster: her scholarship is revoked, her boyfriend cheats on her, she crashes her car, and her father announces a move to another state with his new family — leaving her behind. Seeking solace at her grandmother’s house, Emilie falls asleep, only to wake up and find it's February 14th again. And again. Trapped in a time loop, Emilie relives the worst day of her life, each repetition offering a chance to make different choices and perhaps find a better outcome. Along the way, she encounters Nick, a classmate who seems to be the only constant in her ever-changing world. As Emilie navigates this surreal experience, she learns valuable lessons about self-worth, resilience, and the importance of embracing change.
