Book Nook

Yes, 2 posts right in a row because I'm late writing reviews on books I've already read. This book is a great one, "A Week of Mondays" by Jessica Brody. This book is a thick one, it was over 450 pages, but I read it in 2 days. I sat down two separate occasions and speed through this book.

This book is just what the title implies. The main character, Ellie, goes through an average Monday where she has to do a speech for the new class elections, try out for softball, and have the perfect night at the fair with her boyfriend, Tristan. Then the day goes wrong and at the end of the night she wishes she had a chance to do it all over again. Well, what do you know? The universe answers her and lets her relive the same Monday over and over again for well a week. Will she finally learn the way to get it right? Read to find out ;)

This book was incredible. Like I said I read this book in 2 days. Even though the story seems unoriginal, the characters make this story stand out. Also, the way that is written is very relatable, interesting, and quite hilarious. There was one of the Mondays where Ellie, the main character, decided to be a rebel and change everything up. The more I read, the more I said out loud "omg she is off her rocker." I felt like I was in the story and able to witness these stories and days first hand. You would think that having a novel based around the same events would be boring, but it was the exact opposite. It was always interesting and kept me entertained. I love this book. I'm not going to go to much into detail because that would give it away and be major spoiler alert for you, the readers. PLEASE GO READ IT.

Favorite Characters: Ellie because she reminds me of myself in so many ways. Wanting things to go right, trying to fulfill other's expectations of you, and being indecisive. She doesn't know what she is doing wrong and has obstacles everyday and the way she keeps it together (barely) is amazing.

Favorite Quotes: "I'm so tired of crying. I'm so tired of losing. I'm just so tired."
