adorable and full of second chance. this love story was light and fun. Emily Henry fans will love this one

ARC provided by NetGalley. Loved this book! Went into it expecting a romance and was very pleasantly surprised, even if that’s not quite what I got. It’s very character focused and primarily about the rewind, not the romance (though there are a good amount of cute moments for sure!). I feel like it definitely changed tone after the halfway point, which is why I gave it 4 stars. But I still really enjoyed it and the ending was cute and funny!

Maybe I’m too old for this sort of romance book that just feels cheesy ! Idk I couldn’t finish. The writing was ok but just felt non realistic for me
Thank you to NetGalley for an eARC in exchange for my honest review.

I think I might have crossed the age and patience for the swoony rom coms, they are simply not doing it for me anymore. It has nothing to do with this book or its writing. The writing was pretty good and I could simply tell that the story was going to be good but I just could not make it more than 20 pages.

Amusing that the family with the ability to redo one day and fix one mistake is the Mulligans.

There is a major twist halfway through the story that I really did not like at first. It wasn’t until much later in the story, when Dixie and her father have the talk that should have happened years ago, that I decided I was okay with the twist. [Not that it really matters if I am “okay” with it or not, as I am not the author and don’t get to dictate the story.]

I liked how the “rewinds” ended up being used in the story. I also enjoyed the eclectic cast of characters.

This was cute and had some unexpected twists. I always try to suspend some disbelief with magic realism but this had a lot of questionable plot holes that I wish had been touched on - we spent way too long in part 1 and everything else felt rushed.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Any time-loop rom-com fans (a surprisingly robust genre, especially in recent years) will find Rewind to Us is an infinitely more special twist on the idea. The idea of trying to save a relationship before it fails, not knowing what exactly made it fall apart in the first place is a wonderful premise for a story, and I can already see the hit this will become.
