When I made the wish, I just wanted a do-over. Another chance to make things right. I never, in a million years, thought it might actually come true... Sixteen-year-old Ellison Sparks is having a serious case of the Mondays. She gets a ticket for running a red light, she manages to take the world’s worst school picture, she bombs softball try-outs and her class election speech (note to self: never trust a cheerleader when she swears there are no nuts in her bake-sale banana bread), and to top it all off, Tristan, her gorgeous rocker boyfriend suddenly dumps her. For no good reason!As far as Mondays go, it doesn’t get much worse than this. And Ellie is positive that if she could just do it all over again, she would get it right. So when she wakes up the next morning to find she’s reliving the exact same day, she knows what she has to do: stop her boyfriend from breaking up with her. But it seems no matter how many do-overs she gets or how hard Ellie tries to repair her relationship, Tristan always seems bent set on ending it. Will Ellie ever figure out how to fix this broken day? Or will she be stuck in this nightmare of a Monday forever?From the author of 52 Reasons to Hate My Father and The Unremembered trilogy comes a hilarious and heartwarming story about second (and third and fourth and fifth) chances. Because sometimes it takes a whole week of Mondays to figure out what you really want.

"<strong>A lighter version of Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver </strong><br/><br/>3.5 stars.<br/><br/>I really really wanted to rate this higher. I did. And in all honesty it was well written. I love the author's other stuff and I love how she writes. Unfortunately, this story was very predictable and didn't really bring anything new. And I don't mean it was predictable because many scenes repeated (the very nature of the plot), or even because the concept has been used before. It's predictable because you know the ending from chapter one. <br/><br/>The characters are all very real and well realized. Some of the mean girls are cartoonishly evil and many side characters are pretty one note. But the main core feel authentic. Even if Ellie, the MC is rather, as Owen would put it, daft. <br/><br/>The predictability is made even worse if you've read Before I Fall. This is essentially the PG version of that. Just take out the drinking and death and all the same notes are there."
