The Do-Over
by Lynn Painter
Book Overview
Sixteen-year-old Emilie Hornby watches her meticulously plotted Valentine’s Day collapse—she totals her car, loses a coveted fellowship, and catches Josh cheating—then slams into a time loop that forces her to relive the fiasco. Each reset hurls her past her people-pleasing script and toward Nick Stark, her prickly lab partner shouldering private grief; when she chooses a consequence-free day, Emilie pushes every boundary, wagers her future and her heart, and learns that control won’t save her—only brave, messy choice will.
