In this unforgettable story full of charm, wit—and just a bit of magic—a woman down on her luck is given a second chance at fixing her life and trying one year all over again. Perfect for readers of Josie Silver and Rebecca Serle.
Sadie Thatcher’s life has fallen apart in spectacular fashion. In one fell swoop, she managed to lose her job, her apartment, and her boyfriend—all thanks to her big mouth. So when a fortune teller offers her one wish, Sadie jumps at the chance to redo her awful year. Deep down, she doesn’t believe magic will fix her life, but taking a leap of faith, Sadie makes her wish, opens her eyes, and . . . nothing has changed . And then, in perhaps her dumbest move yet, she kisses her brother’s best friend, Jacob.
When Sadie wakes up the next morning, she’s in her former apartment with her former boyfriend, and her former boss is expecting her at work. Checking the date, she realizes it's January 1 . . . of last year . As Sadie navigates her second-chance year, she begins to see the red flags she missed in her relationship and in her career. Plus, she keeps running into Jacob, and she can’t stop thinking about their kiss . . . the one he has no idea ever happened. Suddenly, Sadie begins to wonder if her only mistake was wishing for a second chance.
(view spoiler)[ hmmm so far I don't like Alex much and I find Jacob adorable. I like Owen, although we've only seen a moment of him.
I really like her friend and the barista friend (hilarious! the cat lady Sadie hahahah!!)
Interesting that she's re-thinking her job. Her boss is just awful. I can't believe he did that to her - sent her to serve while the new guy ruined her cakes!!
I like the idea of her making her own and supplying them to the small coffee shop (hide spoiler)]
(view spoiler)[ I'm so glad she broke up with Alex. he isn't really a good guy. He's one of those guys that just goes along with everything - he's a part of the problem
wow, her parents really suck. I can't believe they are nicer to the boys than they are their daughter
I hope she can bring her friend back around. maybe hire her when she opens her own place? (hide spoiler)]
(view spoiler)[ hmm. the conversation with her mom was interesting. two sides of the same coin - hard to know which tactic to take but seems like we need a little of both! it won't change if we don't make it
I'm so glad she said no to Alex. and Paige. *sigh*
I loved the birthday party. that was cute (hide spoiler)]
