Dixie Mulligan is in love with her best friend, and when she sees him next, she’s going to tell him. Only, she doesn’t and her secrets begin to stack up. The solution? Use her family Rewind to fix her mess up and make things right with her best friend.

I absolutely loved the idea of this book. I was worried that I would be too old for this YA book, and while it’s definitely YA, it was a cute idea. Unfortunately, that’s about all I can say that I enjoyed about this book.

The storyline was overly complicated and the characters are underwhelming. I don’t think the Rewind itself is super complicated, but the changes with every Rewind became overwhelming, and I had no idea what timeline we were following.
I don’t think I really cared about any of the characters other than the Trip, the movie theater. Which is talked about so often, I’ve considered it a character.

Thank you, Netgalley, for this ARC!

Loved this so much! I didn't fully expect the twist, but I really enjoyed the character growth over time. Only major comment is that this is YA simply because of the ages of the main characters - I actually argue this is an adult novel.

I look forward to more from this author!!

A cute and quirky read. Rewind to Us is about Dixie Mulligan’s one chance to go back in time to correct one moment she thought slipped through her fingers, but she discovers more than she bargained for. The plot was nicely placed, characters were likable, but I felt that a few plot holes were left open.

Thank you again to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press/Wednesday Books for a chance to read an advanced copy and give an honest review of this book!

Dixie has a chance to rewind time and fix a mistake that may have cost her the boy of her dreams....or she can deal with her problems head-on and find out if true love is meant to be. This is a clever timeslip story with tight time travel rules that were fairly easy to follow. The main characters were believable and likeable, and I was drawn in by their cute romance. The book was generally well-written, the plot fast-paced and interesting. It was a creative take on time travel with some clever details (filling out online forms and keeping blogs on time travel exploits) that I enjoyed.
The biggest plot hole in the book was the frivolous way the family members squandered their Rewinds. Without giving up spoilers, I'll say that it seems a little unrealistic that you wouldn't hold onto such a privilege until it was a life or death situation. Then again, people make irrational decisions all the time. I still found I had to suspend some disbelief to buy into this aspect of the plot.
I was generally engaged by the writing, but found the author did a little more telling than showing at times. While the romantic relationship between the two main characters was fairly well developed, it fell a little short in the end.
Overall, as a big fan of time travel, I enjoyed the fast-paced, clever plot. A fun read.

This was an entertaining read. I thought the premise was really intriguing and thought provoking. It had me questioning whether or not I would use a Rewind if given the chance.

I thought the author's writing style was engaging and it held my attention throughout the story. There was an unexpected plot twist that I didn't see coming but overall I felt like this storyline was what I expected of it.

This was a new to me author, I look forward to reading more from her on the future. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys YA Romances with a magical element.

Thank you Molly Morris, Net Galley and St. Martin's Press | Wednesday Books for providing me with an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own.

All Dixie Mulligan wants to do is escape New York and spend the summer in a small California town working at the vintage movie theater her aunt owns. But this summer isn’t like the last three. She may have ruined her chance at a relationship with her best friend Sawyer who she happens to love. Good thing her family has the ability for a single redo, which rewinds the past and gives them a chance at a better future.

Dixie makes a likable heroine and her family members, especially cousin Bunny, and other secondary characters such as coworker Claire are well developed and memorable. Her love interest and best friend Sawyer is a good match for her, however, the plot kept the two of them apart more than expected in a traditional romance plot. Morris maneuvers the readers attention expertly to allow for later reveals, such as the details behind the incident Dixie longs to rewind. Morris also provides a paragraph of Mulligan family information related to the rewinds at the start of each chapter. My favorite things about the books Morris writes are the way she weaves in the weirdness, making it feel like fact, and her fantastic character development. The cast of characters in REWIND TO US is rather large, but Morris makes each one count.

I became a fan of Morris after reading ANNIE LEBLANC IS NOT DEAD YET, which also had a fabulistic twist. I look forward to reading her next release and dropping into the wonderfully weird world she creates.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Thanks to Wednesday Books, an imprint of St. Martin’s Publishing Group, for providing an Advance Reader Copy via NetGalley.

This book was much different than what i had read in the past, and was a welcome change! Pretty faced paced, and the plot twist i really did not see coming was welcomed as well. The book held my interest and I wanted to keep reading to see how it ended.

I really enjoyed the premise of this book and it held my interest. I liked the main characters and the twists and turns. I know what others are talking about with repetitive parts, and I too kept wondering why certain things were repeating but it eventually became clear why those things kept coming up. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would recommend this to a teen!

A girl misses a chance with her crush and due to a special ability her family has she's able to rewind one event in her life in order to change her present and future.

This book didn't really work for me in a lot of ways which makes me sad to say. A lot of Dixie's decisions and the decisions of her family felt like a cop out without really any repercussions for the decisions that they made.

I sorta feel like if a relationship didn't work out because of a decision you made, maybe it just wasn't meant to work out.

There are suggestions in the book that Sawyer and Dixie would've worked things through anyway but for me it would've been much more interesting to actually see them work through problems instead of just changing the past and making it so she didn't have to put any effort into things.

Her family were just enabling that as well despite the fact that her aunt knew better.

I can't give it a one star because at the end of the day I still enjoyed Dixie's relationship with her aunt and her cousin and whenever I got confused for a while, things would get explained to remove that confusion but I just felt very frustrated and I don't want to be frustrated by a book. I want to love it.

(Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the free copy in exchange for an honest review)

Going to be honest, I wasn’t a fan.

I liked the characters. They were interesting and I liked how they felt developed.

But I wasn’t a fan of the plot. It sounds fun and cool, but I just couldn’t bring myself to care whole reading.

Thank you to the author and publisher for an ARC copy

Such a cute and heartwarming story. I need it to be a movie, it’s a great concept and I want to see it on the big screen. iykyk

This book has the perfect blend of heart and humor to make it relatable and enjoyable. The what if factor made me enjoy this book even more and caused me to think on my own what if moments. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone seeking a new sweet romance.

Have you ever regretted doing something and just wanted a "do-over"? Enter this adorable book. Dixie lives with her parents in New York, but spends her summers in California with her aunt, cousin, and the boy she's in love with, Sawyer, who is her best friend. At the beginning of the book, Dixie is getting ready to tell Sawyer how she feels and that her feelings go beyond best friend status. But then something happens and she just wants a do-over. Luckily, people in her family, unbeknownst to others, get ONE do-over/rewind in their lives. And Dixie is set on using hers on her relationship with Sawyer. A fun read and one that will have you thinking about what you'd use your one rewind on,

Thank you Wednesday Books and Netgalley for this eARC, these opinions are my own. Dixie and Sawyer are best friends and Dixie is in love with him. Things have been awkward, but luckily Dixie’s family is special. They have the ability to rewind one point in their life and do it over again. So Dixie plans to rewind time so she can tell Sawyer she’s in love with him. But will a rewind be enough? After all there are things even time can’t fix. Fun, cute, and twisty! Full of genuine characters and side characters! I loved Dixie! A quick read that had me consuming it! If you like your romances with a little bit of speculative fiction you’ll love this one!

Thank you to NetGalley, the publishers and author for an advanced copy of this book.
Rewind to Us by Molly Morris was a cute fun read! Dixie and Sawyer are best friends and maybe something more. DIXIE’s family has the power to “rewind” one point in their life for a do over and she intends to use it to finally tell Sawyer her feelings. I raced through this book in half a day! I didn’t see the “twist” coming at all. I usually hate the miscommunication trope, which is basically this couples only problem, but I didn’t mind it in this case. I think the “rewind” plot was a lot of fun. I adored the characters, especially Bunny. I will definitely read more of this authors books in the future.
4⭐️

Rewind to Us is a charming YA romance that weaves a magical twist into the story. Dixie Mulligan belongs to a family with an extraordinary ability that allows them a "do-over" in life. While this concept is fantastical, the author does an excellent job breaking down the rules and mechanics of this unique ability in a way that I appreciated and kept me invested.

The story follows Dixie as she seeks a second chance to fix a botched metting with Sawyer, her longtime friend, during his spring break trip to New York. What unfolds is a layered and compelling journey, filled with complex twists and vibrant secondary characters that add depth to the narrative. It's a tale that's light and fun but addresses the fact that even a "do-over" can't guarantee the outcome you want.
Dixie's anxieties about relationships felt genuine and true to her age, making her an authentic and sympathetic lead. The friends-to-lovers dynamic between Dixie and Sawyer is absolutely adorable, and it kept me rooting for them throughout. The creative storyline, coupled with the emotional honesty at its heart, makes Rewind to Us a delightful and memorable read.

Thank you NetGalley and Wednesday Books for the advanced reader copy. This is my honest review.

My favorite genre is now officially YA romances written by Molly Morris. I read Annie LeBlanc is Not Dead Yet in 5 minutes and never thought anything would compare- this one is up there with the unique plot and the way these 18 year olds make me cry happy tears when they get together!

Thank you so much to St Martin’s Press for giving me an eARC of this early- my review for Morris’s other book must’ve come off of as fan obsessed 🤣 This releases 6/17/25!

Dixie is a just a girl, in love with her best friend, who has no idea what her every day life looks like back in NYC. When she comes to visit Sawyer every summer, he only sees the Cielo Springs Dixie. Things start to get complicated when she makes things weird between them, but she’s determined to win him over by simply rewinding time. You read correctly; the Morrisons (Dixie’s mom’s family) have the capability to rewind time once a year to change the trajectory of life. Dixie wants a life with Sawyer and will do anything to get it, even if it includes severing ties with her New York life.

Thank you to NetGalley & the publisher for an advanced copy of this book!

4.5 stars- This book got me out of a reading slump!

This is my first Molly Morris book, and I really enjoyed her writing style and story telling ability.

This is a young adult book that follows a teen girl whose family possesses the gift of a “Mulligan”. It’s an interesting storyline, with a twist I didn’t see coming. Would recommend!

This book was a rollercoaster for sure ! Had me very hooked at the beginning but the hype of it all started dying down as the plot started getting a bit repetitive.
Nice plot twist that you get 40 percent into the book and then it kinda goes a bit downhill from there!
Overall was enjoyable and would recommend to people but my rating was definitely affected by the lack of romance/ interaction we get from the main two characters.

Thanks to NetGalley and Molly Morris. I loved all The movies references through out the book. It was so good. I kinda got confused with the book in self with view points of it and it was kinda hard to follow it.. it was a cute YA romance book. I would recommend it for 15 or young adult age range.. it kinda fell flat for me.
