Description
GROUNDHOG DAY gets a hilarious French twist in this delightful upper middle grade novel about first crushes and friendship. When an eighth-grade class trip to Paris goes horribly wrong, the worst day of one girl’s life keeps happening over and over.
Fourteen-year-old Eve Hollis is ready to push through her fears and finally let her crush know how she feels. And what better place to tell him than on top of the Eiffel Tower in the City of Love? But things don’t go as planned, and Eve is sure she’s had the worst day of her life—until she wakes up the next morning to realize the whole disaster of a day is happening again. She’s trapped in a time loop.
Desperate to make it stop, Eve will have to take some big risks and learn from her mistakes or she’s destined to live the most awkwardly painful day of her life over and over again, forever.

what Can I say about this upper middle grade book?. I Read The synopsis and thought wow this book sounds like a happy light fantasy. sign meup. This book had IT all. It was about seeingyourself with New Eyes. It was about breaking out of your comfort zones. It was about learning that friendship is also love. It was all this plus a big dose of magic. I Would recommend to Read this book to all ages. Thank you to #netgalley for this e book arc in exchange for an honest review
This was a fun, enjoyable read with a great message! I can totally relate to Eve's battle with her anxiety. Sometimes it is far too easy to let it overwhelm you to the point where you don't see other options. It was great to see her journey towards overcoming it. This was a charming read that made me want to go back to Paris!
Paris on Repeat is about a 14 year old who basically gets stuck, Groundhog Dog style, in her most embarrassing day. It then is up to her to figure out how to get out of the repeated day with the help of her best friend and a mysterious palm reader.
This book was really sweet. It was solidly in the middle grade / ya category. It was sweetly written with mild teen angst. The book also tackled some of the tougher things of a kids' life with rejection, teen crushes, and divorce. It was well handled and I didn't feel like the message was overly complicated or came on too strong. It was a good story. I quite enjoyed this book.
This book was adorable. Describing it as Groundhogs Day is pretty perfect. I grabbed this book both because the cover was beautiful and because the description was pretty hilarious. It’s the kind of book that puts you right back into being fourteen and angsty. Having a crush and no idea what to do with yourself, if only we all got to go to Paris. It’s the perfect middle grade book because it doesn’t underestimate the characters because they’re eighth graders and lets them be themselves and have life ending problems (in their eyes because again they’re fourteen) that don’t seem so insane because they’re well written. But the book isn’t about getting a boyfriend or being brave enough to tell a boy you have a crush on them. It’s about accepting yourself and realizing that friendships are what really matter.
Sure it follows a girl that has a crush and wants to tell him but the whole point of the loop is to make Eve realize that she doesn’t need to tell a boy how she feels to know if things are real. Her parents divorce isn’t the end of all love in the world and the real love (as super cheesy as it sounds because i feel cheesy writing this) is with your friends. You just need to step out of your comfort zone and see it. I would totally recommend this to my nieces because it was a great book and is perfect for middle grade readers.
This was a really cute read! This is an upper middle grade book, and I honestly am not sure I have too many books that fit this specific age, so that was a really nice thing to see. I really enjoyed all the characters and I felt that this book really tackled some important issues but in a way that wasn't too heavy, but still relatable. One thing that I think most middle grade books do really well (and that YA and adult books should take note of) is having really strong themes of friendship, and this book is no exception. I loved that focus and I loved seeing Eve connect with her friends in different ways, as she re-lived the same day, while they were unaware of it, and I think this is why I enjoyed this book so much. The book isn't too long, but I still felt that things were well developed, which is really important, especially if the book isn't as long. Overall, I really enjoyed this and definitely recommend it.
