This book has the perfect blend of heart and humor to make it relatable and enjoyable. The what if factor made me enjoy this book even more and caused me to think on my own what if moments. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone seeking a new sweet romance.

Have you ever regretted doing something and just wanted a "do-over"? Enter this adorable book. Dixie lives with her parents in New York, but spends her summers in California with her aunt, cousin, and the boy she's in love with, Sawyer, who is her best friend. At the beginning of the book, Dixie is getting ready to tell Sawyer how she feels and that her feelings go beyond best friend status. But then something happens and she just wants a do-over. Luckily, people in her family, unbeknownst to others, get ONE do-over/rewind in their lives. And Dixie is set on using hers on her relationship with Sawyer. A fun read and one that will have you thinking about what you'd use your one rewind on,

Thank you Wednesday Books and Netgalley for this eARC, these opinions are my own. Dixie and Sawyer are best friends and Dixie is in love with him. Things have been awkward, but luckily Dixie’s family is special. They have the ability to rewind one point in their life and do it over again. So Dixie plans to rewind time so she can tell Sawyer she’s in love with him. But will a rewind be enough? After all there are things even time can’t fix. Fun, cute, and twisty! Full of genuine characters and side characters! I loved Dixie! A quick read that had me consuming it! If you like your romances with a little bit of speculative fiction you’ll love this one!

Thank you to NetGalley, the publishers and author for an advanced copy of this book.
Rewind to Us by Molly Morris was a cute fun read! Dixie and Sawyer are best friends and maybe something more. DIXIE’s family has the power to “rewind” one point in their life for a do over and she intends to use it to finally tell Sawyer her feelings. I raced through this book in half a day! I didn’t see the “twist” coming at all. I usually hate the miscommunication trope, which is basically this couples only problem, but I didn’t mind it in this case. I think the “rewind” plot was a lot of fun. I adored the characters, especially Bunny. I will definitely read more of this authors books in the future.

Rewind to Us is a charming YA romance that weaves a magical twist into the story. Dixie Mulligan belongs to a family with an extraordinary ability that allows them a "do-over" in life. While this concept is fantastical, the author does an excellent job breaking down the rules and mechanics of this unique ability in a way that I appreciated and kept me invested.

The story follows Dixie as she seeks a second chance to fix a botched metting with Sawyer, her longtime friend, during his spring break trip to New York. What unfolds is a layered and compelling journey, filled with complex twists and vibrant secondary characters that add depth to the narrative. It's a tale that's light and fun but addresses the fact that even a "do-over" can't guarantee the outcome you want.
Dixie's anxieties about relationships felt genuine and true to her age, making her an authentic and sympathetic lead. The friends-to-lovers dynamic between Dixie and Sawyer is absolutely adorable, and it kept me rooting for them throughout. The creative storyline, coupled with the emotional honesty at its heart, makes Rewind to Us a delightful and memorable read.

Thank you NetGalley and Wednesday Books for the advanced reader copy. This is my honest review.

My favorite genre is now officially YA romances written by Molly Morris. I read Annie LeBlanc is Not Dead Yet in 5 minutes and never thought anything would compare- this one is up there with the unique plot and the way these 18 year olds make me cry happy tears when they get together!

Thank you so much to St Martin’s Press for giving me an eARC of this early- my review for Morris’s other book must’ve come off of as fan obsessed 🤣 This releases 6/17/25!

Dixie is a just a girl, in love with her best friend, who has no idea what her every day life looks like back in NYC. When she comes to visit Sawyer every summer, he only sees the Cielo Springs Dixie. Things start to get complicated when she makes things weird between them, but she’s determined to win him over by simply rewinding time. You read correctly; the Morrisons (Dixie’s mom’s family) have the capability to rewind time once a year to change the trajectory of life. Dixie wants a life with Sawyer and will do anything to get it, even if it includes severing ties with her New York life.

Thank you to NetGalley & the publisher for an advanced copy of this book!

4.5 stars- This book got me out of a reading slump!

This is my first Molly Morris book, and I really enjoyed her writing style and story telling ability.

This is a young adult book that follows a teen girl whose family possesses the gift of a “Mulligan”. It’s an interesting storyline, with a twist I didn’t see coming. Would recommend!

This book was a rollercoaster for sure ! Had me very hooked at the beginning but the hype of it all started dying down as the plot started getting a bit repetitive.
Nice plot twist that you get 40 percent into the book and then it kinda goes a bit downhill from there!
Overall was enjoyable and would recommend to people but my rating was definitely affected by the lack of romance/ interaction we get from the main two characters.

Thanks to NetGalley and Molly Morris. I loved all The movies references through out the book. It was so good. I kinda got confused with the book in self with view points of it and it was kinda hard to follow it.. it was a cute YA romance book. I would recommend it for 15 or young adult age range.. it kinda fell flat for me.

Author Molly Morris has come up with the brilliant idea of a Rewind. She also comes up with a great way to incorporate it in her book Rewind To Us, Thoroughly enjoyed!

Thank you to St. Martin's Press | Wednesday Books and NetGalley for providing an eARC for a honest review.

If you had the ability to rewind an event in your life would you take it? Would it be to fix a relationship or get a better grade on an exam? Would you even consider whom it may affect or just be thinking of how it would change your life.
In “Rewind to us” that is exactly what The Mulligan family can do. In this lovely book by Molly Morris we get to travel with Dixie as she contemplates using her rewind and finds that sometimes you have to look at the big picture before making a decision. I absolutely loved this amazingly written book by Molly Morris. The depth of the characters and storyline kept me not wanting to put this book down. I absolutely love her line “ It’s the decisions that take us through life”. This line really hit home and then I realized that this book was more than a simple rom-com. This is definitely a book you need to add to your goodread TBR list. This was my first Molly Morris book, but definitely not my last.
Thank you to St. Martin Press/Wednesday Book and NetGalley for this ARC copy of this book for an honest review.

Ah, the classic summer vacation confession plan—what could possibly go wrong? For Dixie Mulligan, the answer is everything. She finally works up the nerve to tell her best friend Sawyer she’s in love with him… only to show up and find him kissing someone else. Oof. Time to pack it up and go home, right?

Nope! Because Dixie and her family each have one magical Rewind—an actual, honest-to-goodness do-over button for life’s worst moments. So she’s determined to fix whatever went wrong between her and Sawyer. Except, turns out, life is a little more complicated than just pressing rewind. Family secrets spill out, emotions get messy, and Dixie has to figure out if some things are better left in the past.

This book is equal parts swoony, bittersweet, and hilarious, with just enough magic to make you wish you had a Rewind of your own. Dixie’s voice is sharp and relatable, the second-chance romance is so worth rooting for, and the story reminds us that sometimes, what’s meant to be will find its way—Rewind or not.

Highly recommend if you love rom-coms with a touch of time travel, heartfelt family dynamics, and that "but what if?" nostalgia we all secretly obsess over.

Ah, young love. And how small things feel so monumental and insurmountable at that age! How truly fortunate one would be to have the opportunity to go back in time to right a wrong, even with the stipulation that you only get one do-over. The characters are just eccentric enough to be charming, with enough background to make them feel real. My favorite character is Sawyer, and his hobby was so original - I love the way this is woven into the story! There is a lot of the expected teen angst, but the story goes into much deeper levels where self-identity and anxiety for the future are concerned. There are numerous threads in this tale that are expertly woven together to give you an authentic feel without anything seeming to be over-the-top. Thank you to Wednesday Books and NetGalley for allowing me to read an ARC of this heartwarming book. This is a magically and masterfully written story about regrets and how to overcome them!

When I read the synopsis and saw the cover I was intrigued. I dropped my other book and started this one and then I got distracted and lost interest in this book and put it away. I decided to try again and it was like slogging through mud. I just had a hard time connecting with the characters and the story. I just didn't enjoy reading this book. It was not my cup of tea.

This book was such a cute and fun read that kept my attention from start to finish. It’s a young adult rom-com with a friends to lovers trope, movie fandom, and time-travel.

Dixie and her family have the opportunity to have a do-over that’s within the last year to change a decision or mistake that they have made. Dixie’s plan is to finally tell her best friend Sawyer that she’s in love with him, but there might be just one little issue with that. They apparently didn’t leave on good terms the last time they saw each other, so will she go back in time and fix it? Or what will she decide to do?

I loved the whole concept of this book and the way Molly described all the rules and stipulations that went into one’s “rewind.” I’d LOVE to have this possibility in real life, so it was really fun to read something I’m not used to reading a lot about. There’s not a lot of romance that happens between the characters, but it reminded me of myself when I was younger and the excitement of young love. There’s also a few twists that I didn’t even see coming! Truly loved this and can’t wait to read another one by Molly Morris.

You have one chance to do a Rewind (do over) .. do you take it? A second chance story that presents itself as young love, but the story is much more than that as the layers begin to peel. Really enjoyed the different characters and the twists in the story. I liked how descriptive the setting and the surrounding storyline of the movie industry and fanatic elements of the passion the two main characters had. The feeling of longing and nostalgia was well described.

This was OK, after a while I was over it. It began to drag on. There was a plot twist that I didn't see coming but everything else was repetitive. The whole rewind concept was a bit confusing. Not sure if this would be considered a YA romance or what actual genre of fiction this book was. This has a smidge of romance between the 2 characters and that didn't take place until the last chapter darn near. Overall it was okay and that's really all I can say about this book nothing really memorable.

The "Rewind" aspect of this book was something I found to be very fresh and interesting. I could have definitely seen myself reading this book when I was a teenager and loving it! I saw the "plot twist" coming very early on, however, it was still nice to read. The daddy issues in me got a little emotional in certain parts. I rate this book 3.5 stars due to the originality of the idea and the ease of reading! I do wish we got a little more information on Sawyer's backstory- I feel like certain things about his parents were just thrown in and I would have enjoyed hearing more about his life.

"Rewind to Us" by Molly Morris is a touching and relatable contemporary romance that delves into the complexities of second chances and the enduring power of first loves. Morris crafts a narrative that's both nostalgic and forward-looking, exploring the delicate balance between revisiting the past and forging a new future.

Things I loved about this book -

Authentic Characters: The characters are the true strength of this novel. They feel like real people, with flaws and vulnerabilities that make them incredibly relatable. Their inner struggles and emotional journeys are compelling, allowing readers to invest deeply in their happiness.

Emotional Depth: "Rewind to Us" isn't just a fluffy romance; it tackles real-life issues like personal growth, overcoming past mistakes, and the challenges of navigating long-lost connections. Morris doesn't shy away from exploring the awkwardness and anxieties that come with reconnecting with someone you once shared everything with.

Well-Written Prose: Morris's writing style is engaging and easy to read, allowing the story to flow effortlessly. Her descriptions are vivid and emotive, bringing the setting and characters to life.

All in all, "Rewind to Us" is a heartwarming and enjoyable read that will appeal to fans of contemporary romance and second-chance stories. It's a beautifully written novel that explores the complexities of love, loss, and the courage it takes to revisit the past in order to build a brighter future.

If you're looking for a story with relatable characters, emotional depth, and a touch of nostalgia, "Rewind to Us" is definitely worth checking out. I would recommend it to readers who enjoy movies like 'About Time' or books by Emily Giffin.

Thank you to Netgalley and St. Martin's Press | Wednesday Books for an early copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I normally do not like time travel books. But, I must say this was a great book and I really enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend this book and I will be looking for more books by this author.
