A Week of Mondays

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

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 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 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.

    “A small shift in perspective and everything falls into place”


    This was a nice contemporary YA with a little magic touch that could very well be a Disney Channel movie, and I would watch it and enjoy it (and maybe like it a little bit more than I did the book), because it had this teen movie vibe. It was a nice little book to read in-between high fantasy or books that leave you with this big hangover (like I just had with "A Torch Against The Night"), because it's funny and cute. It wasn't fantastic, but it was short and enjoyable, although very predictable. Within the first few chapters, I already knew exactly what would happen and how the book would end. The characters were a little flat and underdeveloped and only the main protagonist had this major character development through the novel, and it was filled of this annoying high-school YA tropes, and I failed to connect with some of the situations - especially the 'guide to understand men' scene, that really pissed me off, especially after reading a feminist AF book like "Beauty Queens". That didn't stopped me from enjoying the novel and the story for what it is, and if you're looking for a simple, easy and beachy-like read, this book is definitely the right choice.
