Thanks to Hachette Audio, Forever for the advance copy of this audiobook.

“When your role has been clearly laid out for your entire life, it’s not easy to pivot to being someone else.”

I looooove a good timeline jump story where the main character gets a redo. In The Second Chance Year, Sadie has the WORST year - losing her job, apartment, and boyfriend. On New Year's Eve, she meets a fortune teller and wishes for a redo... and wakes up on January 1 of last year with a chance for a redo.

Not only was this a second chance at love (with a BROTHER'S BEST FRIEND), this is a story that touches on sexism in the workplace, parental expectations, and friendship. I laughed, I teared up, and I adored this book. This one is for all the girlies who tend to speak their minds, who are struggling to live up to a role or expectation someone has set for them, or who just wish they could have a reset.

Highly recommend picking this up in December - it's perfect for New Year's Eve!
