Clara likes
to spend her free time checking up on the one that got away (Brad) on Facebook—him
and his wife, the one who nabbed the one that got away. Brad had model good
looks and a 3.7 million dollar net worth—Yeah, she was right to break up with
him in college. So the girl lives with regret. Basically, she hates her job,
hates her life, and wishes things could be different.
Her wish: to
go back to that day in college and do it right the second time. Then, with a
rub of an old lamp, out jumps Facebook Jeanie, who installs a RESET app on her
iPhone. A chance to RESET your life the way it should’ve been.
Now that was
getting a second chance (and third and fourth,) she was starting to see
something in that Alek, the serious, foreign nerd who annoyed her.
“You can’t
sit around waiting for everything to be perfect in your life.” (LOC 798)
Story of
nostalgia (Will Smith, Fast and Furious,
Angel spin-off.) Relatable in a “where
did my life go” sense. Clara goes
through a Groundhog Day of what-ifs, and she soon learns that the grass ain’t
always greener on the other side. Turns out that the one that got away wasn’t
all that great to begin with. Sometimes you just gotta take a second look to
really see.
“You catch
more flies with honey, but you catch more honeys if you’re fly.”
An enjoyable
read!
