This book is the warmest, coziest, most charming book I’ve read in a long time! It’s got heart, magic, humor. After Sadie’s life goes awry; losing her job, apartment and boyfriend all at once dubbing it her “awful year” she jumps at the chance for a redo. Living on her little brother’s best friend Jacobs couch isn’t the life she envisioned for herself. So when a fortune teller offers her a way to relive that year, with caution, Sadie who doubts magic obliges. When Sadie arrives back at Jacob’s the two share a New Year’s Eve midnight kiss, just for Sadie to magically wake up a year in the past. While redoing her “awful year” Sadie finally sees the signs that she was never the problem and starts to wonder if now she is for asking for a second chance.

I immediately fell in love with this book! The pop culture references, the quick wit, the characters dynamics with each other. I love the way each emotion felt in the book is compared to some type of pastry making technique. But this book tackles a lot more than just love lost and dream jobs. It tackles work place harassment and the inequality women face in the world and how to stand up against it. It shows the importance of chosen family and finding your safe place in the world. It’s very rare I get this feeling from a book, like I’m right at home in the pages. I feel like I’m in these pages with my friends. I feel like I am eating pastries over americanos with them at higher grounds. This book gave me all the warm gooey feelings I needed right now! And the ending….THAT ENDING!!! I couldn’t recommend it more.
