Such a cute rom com with some magical realism mixed in! Makes you think about what it would be like if you had a "re-do" on life, and would you take it?! Highly recommend!

I am in love with this book!

I fell asleep while trying to finish it in one night and then got up early so I could read the remaining 20% before work. Zero regrets.

The Second Chance Year is sweet, humorous, a tad bit cheesy (who doesn't love cheese?), predictable in all the best low angst ways, full of heart, and features fun quirky secondary characters. My only wish is that we could have had a few more Sadie and Jacob scenes to really up the pining and emotional oomph. But really, the romance takes a backseat to the story of Sadie learning that do overs don't necessarily make everything better and how getting what you think you want means nothing if you lose yourself in the process.

This book was the perfect mix of everything I was hoping for. It was funny, well written and left me with a big smile on my face. Melissa Weisner did an amazing job with these characters. We saw Sadie grow so much over the course of the book.

I'm really excited to read more by Melissa Weisner and can't wait to see what she's got in store for us next!

I would like to thank the publisher for providing me with an ARC through NetGalley. As always, my opinions are entirely my own.

Sadie makes a wish to redo her awful year and it actually comes true. Except now she isn't sure if she wants to change things exactly.

I love Sadie and the changes that she go through. She finally sees all the red flags in her relationship and job the second time around. Love the magical components in the book too. A fun book.

Thanks to the publisher for the arc.

This was an ok read for me. For a quick easy read I would recommend it, I was expecting more from this but overall it was fine.

Someone wise once said that relationships often fall apart in year 10 because of things we could have foreseen by day 10, and how true that is... if we're really honest with ourselves, we can look back on red flags or question marks we ignored very early on that eventually lead to a relationship's demise. So this was an interesting premise. Unfortunately the execution was just very light - no real depth or substance - and the plot and dialogue very formulaic, so overall a cute but forgettable read.

I really enjoyed this. It was a very quick read for me and it grasped my attention very well. I love the entire idea of trying to change that one thing in your life but it turns out that one thing, made everything. This was just a really nice read. đź–¤

I cannot even begin to share how much I love this book! I have so much to share on it and I will be sharing an entire in depth review very shortly, but I can’t remember the last time I stayed up all night to read a book, but I did with this one! I loved the writing style, could relate so much to what the character was going through, and loved the idea of if she had a second chance would it really make everything the way she wanted it is life just meant to play out the way it does so we don’t miss anything magical waiting for us?
