The Girl I Was
The Girl I Was | Jeneva Rose
7 posts | 11 read | 1 to read
Alexis Spencer thinks she has it all figured out. Even when life gets her down, she is never too far away from another inspirational quote to rationalize her failures and ignore all her problems. Her boyfriend tires of her deadbeat life and breaks it off, she's lost her job, her closest friends are a distant memory, and her college debt is still as high as the day she left. In typical fashion, she blames the world for her problems, including her 18-year-old self who should have just tried harder and put their life on a better track. After feeling sorry for herself, Alexis goes on a bender to forget her problems and ends up blacking out, only this time she doesn't wake up at home, she isn't even in the right city, in fact, she isn't even in the right year. She is back in her college town in the year 2002, and she thinks she's been given a second chance to do things over, that is until Alexis comes face to face with her 18-year-old unruly self, who goes by the name of Lexi because it's "sexier". Right from the get-go, she has to get acclimated to life in the early 2000s again, which has its ups (no Kardashians) and downs (no cell phone). Once she meets Lexi though, the hard part truly begins. First, Alexis must convince her that she is in fact from the future. Then, she has to convince Lexi to let her live in her dorm with her as she has no place to go. Finally, they must learn to get along and come to terms with the fact that alone, they will never make things right, but together, they could change their life for the better.

I went into this book blind and was happily enjoying it, loving the writers writing style, the premise and the characters and then all of a sudden bam I was hit with all the feels and crying onto my Kindle.I loved the topics of grief, loss, closure and getting a chance for a do-over of your life. I look forward to a happy life of reading more Jeneva Rose books. This was a delightful hug in a book that I couldn't put down.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I usually hate time travel books. But this one was so well done. Lessons to be learned.

Bubblegum for the mind. This was an unexpected delight. Easy read - read in about 3 hours. Uncomplicated enjoyment.

Thirty-something Alexis drinks too much one night after a bad breakup, and wakes up in 2002 finding her 18 yo self “Lexi” in her college town. Awkward-so she poses as Lexi‘s older sister…can she stop Lexi from making big mistakes?? Delightful and poignant💗

I like this story. It‘s about a woman who meets her younger self and together they try to fix their own problems. This also feels like the ultimate second chance one would get in life, which we would all want.

4½⭐
If you‘ve been looking for a good time travel story that has the potential to touch your heart in more ways than one, then look no further. Our MC isn‘t the most likable character but this is a story about her growth as a person and it showcases that quite favorably. I really liked this…it actually seriously surprised me how much it affected me. If only we could really have a do-over…

An immature woman in her mid–30s involuntarily time travels to “fix” her younger self. Does it work (is she successful *and* am I satisfied as a reader)? Read my full review here: https://debbybrauer.org/#the-girl-i-was
