Light hearted feel good Ya romance. Perfect for fans of Better Then the Movies. Rewind it back has teen age nostalgia with a magical element and a surprising twist. I enjoyed every moment of reading this book.

Mini review:
I ended up enjoying this book! The character development I saw at the end (from multiple characters) was sweet and I enjoyed seeing how the characters interacted with each other and how close friends and family were or became in this. Thank you NetGalley for this arc!

A wonderful read!
This novel drew me in from the very first page and kept me hooked until the end. The characters were vibrant and relatable, the writing was engaging, and the story had just the right balance of heart and humor. Highly recommend!
Many thanks to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for my ARC. All opinions are my own.

This was a fun and interesting way of going back in time and I enjoyed my time reading this. I personally had some challenges connecting with the characters. I enjoyed the quirkiness but without the connection, I didn't _love_ it. But all in all, a fun read.

⭐⭐⭐

✨I don’t think I could ever be over you, not when everything I love makes me think of you✨

📖

Story follows Dixie, who uses a rewind to fix a mistake she believes ruined her relationship with her best friend sawyer, only to discover more complexities and family secrets.

My Thoughts:

This was cute! Too much unnecessary language for me and at the end it kind of dragged on especially for a YA. I guessed the plot twists though! Also felt like some elements of the story had no correlation, don’t get me wrong I loved Dixie’s and Sawyers dynamic it was adorable, but it wasn’t strong enough for me to overlook the other elements and it fell flat. Bunny and her aunt were funny though I liked their relationship towards each other. Overall it was a fun read in the beginning but towards the end you lost me.

-1st POV

- YA magical realism

-heavy language

- slow-burn

- second-chance romance

- m/m relation mentioned (side character)

- rocky relationship with parents

As always thank you to Net galley and and Molly Morris for the ARC review stay Blessed everyone 😊

Not totally sure about this one. I love magic realism in books, and had never read one in YA before so I was excited to read this one. I enjoyed the concept of it, but I didn't connect to any of the characters at all. They all felt a little 2D, even our FMC and while I loved the twist in the middle of the book, I still feel like it dragged on a lot. The dialogue and writing to me also felt a little childish, even for a YA. I also did not really like the ending with Bunny's choice. But I did really enjoy the concept and setting of the book.

I loved this YA novel so much. The second I started reading it, I was sucked in to the story. I loved the unique time travel element, and it was so well done. I loved the relationship between Dixie, Kate and Bunny. There were parts that hurt my brain a little bit in the best possible way, and I was crying a little by the end. Thanks to NetGalley for the early copy. I will definitely be telling everyone to read this one.

✨📖 Rewind To Us by Molly Morris

Okay but—time travel + second chances + emotional healing?? This book had me in a chokehold. 😭💫

Molly Morris delivers with this YA gem that’s part heartache, part hope, and all the things we wish we could do over. If you’ve ever wanted to hit “rewind” on a moment, a friendship, or a love you lost… this one’s going to wreck you in the best way.

We follow a girl navigating grief and guilt after a tragic accident—and suddenly, she’s given the impossible: the chance to go back in time. But nothing about it is simple. The relationships, the regrets, the growing up… it’s all so real. And the love story? Bittersweet and beautiful. 🥹💔❤️

📚 Tropes I loved: 🔁 Time travel with emotional stakes
👫 Friends to maybe something more
💔 Healing from trauma
🎧 Nostalgic vibes (the title is perfect)

This book isn’t just about fixing the past—it’s about learning from it. A poignant, powerful reminder that sometimes the hardest part of love is letting go.

🔖 Read it if you love: The Opposite of Always, They Both Die at the End, or if you're just a sucker for a good cry and a hopeful ending. 💫

This book was hit and miss for me. I really like the premise, of getting a “do over,” but I felt its execution was lacking. Another reviewer referenced the author showing rather telling, and I felt that to be an accurate description. I did like that there were surprises throughout the book, and learning how someone’s Rewind can affect others. So, just middle of the road for me. Thanks to Wednesday Books for the ARC.

Ah young love...
I wanted to love this book, I really did, but I was definitely not the target audience, which to be fair, I knew going into it.
I personally did not enjoy this book - BUT, there are so many others in the YA group that will fall in love with this book!
Due to this, I'll just rate it right down the middle with a 3.

This is such a fun, young adult story that poses the question, what would you do if you could redo a moment in your life? Filled with movies, friends, dysfunctional family, and secrets, Rewind to Us is a quick read that's definitely worth your time.

Thank you to NetGalley and Wednesday Books for the ARC!

Rewind to us is a YA romcom with a bit of a magical spin. Dixie is your average high school girl in love with her long distance best friend. Only she hasn’t told him yet. And through a moment of panic she loses her chance to confess her feelings and everything changes.

This comedy of errors romance is all about do-overs, second chances, and how the little decisions we make sometimes have a ripple effect on those around us. It was mostly lighthearted and bubbly, but did really pull at the heart strings for a lost young love.

I loved everything about Molly’s characters. They felt like a friend group I’d love to be a part of and a family that though it has its challenges, loves one another deeply. Highly recommend to anyone in search of a fun story with a happy ending.

This little twist of magical realism was SO FUN! I enjoyed this Molly Morris book and look forward to more from her, hopefully STAT!

Rewind To Us is a well written story with a unique premise. Unfortunately I just didn’t connect with the characters which is through no fault of the author.

I knew I was in trouble when the introduction to Dixie was fretting over the color hair dye she chose for the Summer (caution cone orange) and Sawyer arriving late because it took him 20 minutes to decide on a boba tea flavor.

If you like younger characters then you will probably enjoy this story.

3.5 rounded up to 4 stars.

I was intrigued by the creative time travel kind of premise, and often enjoy YA books so I thought this would be a win for me. Unfortunately, by the time the big reveal happens more than halfway through the book, I'd lost interest in these characters. Lots of telling and not much showing made for some underwhelming characters, that not even an interesting premise could save for me. I did find the last third to be better paced than the first 2/3 but it felt like a little too late for me. It was okay, but not one I'd recommend unfortunately.

Rewind to Us is a fun, creative spin on the time travel trope. Molly Morris weaves a story that's not just about second chances, but about growth, friendship, and discovering who you are.

What really stood out to me were the characters. They’re so fleshed out and multidimensional, it felt like I knew them personally. Even the side characters had depth and purpose, never fading into the background like mere plot devices. Each one brought something special to the story, adding to the emotional weight and authenticity of the narrative.

And that plot twist in the middle? Jaw-dropping. Just when I thought I had a handle on where the story was going, Morris completely flipped the script in the best way possible. It kept the pacing sharp and made the back half of the book impossible to put down.

Overall, Rewind to Us is a fun, engaging read with a lot of heart. Whether you're a fan of time travel or just looking for a story that makes you feel something, this one’s worth picking up.

What a lovely book! I was looking for a light read after finishing a long fantasy novel and I was pleasantly surprised by this book. It is a fun and funny book about navigating all sorts of life relationships, but it was such much more than a light read. It has morals and life lessons and so much character growth. Dixie is just so relatable and likable and the decisions she has to make aren't easy. Some choices are her own and others life has forced on her. I actually didn't realize this was a book about young adults until I started reading, but I think all ages would enjoy it. I definitely picked it up at first for the "Rewind" concept, which is just as interesting as the rest of the plot. There are other twists and turns besides Dixie's choice of whether or not to use her "Rewind" to save her friendship with Sawyer that I definitely wasn't expecting!

What if the world gave you one do over, what moment would you choose?

Dixie looks forward to escaping to Cielo Springs each summer to spend her days with her best friend Sawyer. After endless movie nights she starts to realize that her feelings are more than friendly. Missing her opportunity to tell him, their futures start to look fuzzy- unless she can rewind back to the moment where everything went wrong.

Rewind to Us was a fun, lighthearted friends to lovers with a sprinkle of fantasy. The comfort of young love with a couple twists mixed in. This one is a great summertime read!

This was a really cute YA story that had some twists I wasn't expecting. The author creates a world where Dixie has the opportunity to rewind one moment in her lifetime. Her family is the only family with this strange ability and each chapter features little bits of rules and ideas about this concept. When Dixie returns to her summer retreat with family, ready to spill her love confession to her best friend, she is in for a shock that leads her down a path to making a decision to use her rewind. This story has some great movie references and such respect for the film industry. I loved the romance elements and the twists that I didn't see coming. Overall, this was a fun read, and I think that many of my students will enjoy it.

Love a good book about rewinding to the past and seeing how different choices lead to different results. It was a bit cheesy at times, and the ending was fairly predictable, but I do love a good book about reflecting!
