I shed my ugliest tears, my emotions are everywhere! Ezra and Frankie’s love-hate- unfinished story is one of the best angsty, heart wrenching, touchy, saddest stories that hurts you and heals you at the same time!
They were lovers in their twenties and after sudden break up they swore not to talk and see each other again ! Now they will meet ten years later after their traumatic breakup with full of mistakes, hurt feelings, misunderstandings and unsaid words that restrained, locked deep inside their hearts. They moved on with your lives, chasing their dreams, fulfilling their expectations. Frankie becomes a successful music manager of the hottest bands and Ezra quits law school for chasing his lifetime dream.
He also finds his other half Mimi: he decides to propose her at the same wedding night when Ezra and Frankie’s mutual friends unite their lives for happily ever after!
But on the eve of millennium, at the picturesque, snowy New England campus where their story began, Ezra and Frankie have an eventful night and when they wake up at the same bad. Frankie wears Ezra’s grandmother’s ring! The same ring Ezra planned to prose his girlfriend whose plane was cancelled because of weather conditions!
Did they get marry? How drunk were they? Could they rewind the entire night back to take back the mistakes they’ve made? What about rewinding the time for 10 years back to make things better for their unresolved issues?
As they slowly start remembering everything about the last night, they not only dealing with things they’ve made under influence, they also have to confront their secrets, things they held to themselves to make peace with both of their pasts and futures!
I loved this angsty, pure, genuine, beautiful story! Both Ezra and Frankie were flawed, sad, deeply layered characters. It was so easy to love them! I cannot say the same for Mimi!
Overall: definitely worth to my angsty screams, heartbreak and ugly cries!
So many thanks to NetGalley and Berkley Publishing for sharing this amazing digital reviewer copy with me in exchange my honest thoughts.

I absolutely inhaled this book. Such a delightful and beautifully-written book. I enjoyed every minute and will recommend to everyone

The Rewind was absolute candy for my nostalgic college soul! The premise is simple: two college exes go back to their alma mater to attend a mutual friend’s wedding after not seeing each other for ten years. I found it so easy to put myself into this story, and found it so relatable and fun.
I loved the two main characters, Frankie and Ezra and really enjoyed the plot device of them having to piece together the night before, together. As the story unfolds, you learn more about their past and, of course, the night before. There are some heavy parts, but all in all this was a fun and quick read I’ll be recommending!

I loved this story! As a Gen Xer, the time period, the music, everything in The Rewind worked for me. The only missing in my opinion - an angsty, explicit sex scene between Frankie and Ezra. But that's just me - I prefer the sex on the page rather than implied...
