'I could not put this one down. Just a truly fun and satisfying read from start to finish' ANITA KELLY
'[A]n adorable, swoony, beautifully written romance that I devoured in a day. Full of warmth, heart (and food), I was completely charmed by Sadie and Jacob and cried all the happy tears. I didn't want it to end!' CATHERINE WALSH
One disastrous year. One magical wish. One chance to change the past.
In one fell swoop, Sadie Thatcher managed to lose her job, her apartment, and her boyfriend. So when a fortune teller offers her one wish, Sadie longs to redo her awful year. More than a little sceptical, she makes her wish, opens her eyes, and . . . nothing has changed. And then, in perhaps her worst 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. She realises it's January 1 . . . of last year.
As Sadie navigates her second-chance year, she begins to see the red flags she missed in both her relationship and 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.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A touch of magic and a heap of self-growth animate this sparkling and sophisticated rom-com from Wiesner (His Secret Daughter). New York City pastry chef Sadie Thatcher has had a "Very Bad Year": she was dumped by her long-term boyfriend; fired by her celebrity chef boss; and, in the final moments of New Year's Eve, impulsively kissed her brother's best friend, Jacob, only for him to reject her. Fortunately, her desperate wish to relive the year unexpectedly comes true. This time, she vows to hold her tongue when she's offended by her boyfriend's coworkers' sexist attitudes if it means saving their relationship, and look the other way when her boss sexually harasses staff if it means saving her job. But what if the decisions that caused everything to go wrong were ultimately the right things to do? Meanwhile, she can't stop thinking about Jacob, who, she notices for the first time, is always there when she needs him, and finds a supportive community inside a local coffee shop that Wiesner fills with quirky characters who push Sadie to be her best self. Sadie is a wonderfully shaded character whose occasional awkwardness makes her all the more endearing. This enchanting Sliding Doors–style romance is sure to win plenty of admirers.
