Vivian Lantz's Second Chances by Kathryn Ormsbee
3.75
funny hopeful lighthearted medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Loveable characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Vivian Lantz has a history of horrible first days of school, but this year is going to be different. She's going to have the perfect style and get her crush to notice her. It all goes wrong that first day, but then she miraculously gets a do-over. And another. And another. Before she knows it, she's in a loop!  She can get the perfect first day, but can she also get out again?

I love the way Vivian reacts to the different situations. They aren't all perfect, but they feel real and very middle-school appropriate. My favorite reactions were the ones where she forgot that she learned information in a different loop and so the person wouldn't know what she was talking about. A cute read.
