Frankie remembered being flattered: she had been called many things, but amiable and approachable had never been among them. And he was easy to talk to too; like someone she needed to know, like someone who made her like herself more than she realized she could. And so she decided that they were going to be great friends, and they had been.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">College sweethearts <strong>Frankie<\/strong> and <strong>Ezra\u2019s<\/strong> messy difficult breakup right before graduation has them both vowing that they will never speak to each other again. Ten years later, they are reunited at a wedding where they wake up in bed with wedding rings on. Unable to recall anything from the previous night, they embark on a journey through their old haunts to uncover the answers to how they ended up together again.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><strong>Frankie Harriman<\/strong> is one of the most unlikeable heroines I have ever read in my life. She lacks any sense of empathy and is completely self-absorbed. I kept hoping for Ezra\u2019s sake that she would convince me that she was redeemable and not as awful as the book kept making her out to be. That didn\u2019t happen until the last ten percent when you finally got to see any real emotion from her. Ezra, on the other hand, was a saving grace to this book, and if it wasn\u2019t for him then I would have just stopped reading all together. Ezra was sweet, kind, and romantic. He loved his big gestures. Any woman would be lucky to be with him, but sadly he was always pining for someone who didn\u2019t see how great he was.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">In the end, I really did struggle with this book both from the bad taste that Frankie left in my mouth to the jarring flashbacks in the middle of chapters with no warning. It\u2019s going to be a book that will appeal to a specific type of reader, but unfortunately, that reader is not me.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">Fans of books by <strong>Jen DeLuca<\/strong> and <strong>Ali Hazelwood<\/strong> might be interested in this one.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Michelle<\/em><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_eb0616c customBorderRad repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3XdwDfu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apple.co\/3Vbf2mH\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">iBooks<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/the-rewind-allison-winn-scotch\/1140956554?ean=9780593546543\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">B&amp;N<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/the-rewind-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Kobo<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Allison_Winn_Scotch_The_Rewind?id=LTZcEAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Google Play<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            \t    <\/div>\n\t    <!-- \/row_inner -->\n\t<\/div>\n\t<!-- \/module_row -->\n\t<\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When college sweethearts Frankie and Ezra broke up\u00a0before graduation,\u00a0they vowed to never speak to each other again.

Ten years later, on the eve of the new millennium, they find themselves back on their snowy, picturesque New England campus together for the first time for the wedding of mutual friends. Frankie\u2019s on the rise as a music manager for the hottest bands of the late \u201990s, and Ezra\u2019s ready to propose to his girlfriend after the wedding. Everything is going to plan\u2014they just have to avoid the chasm of emotions brought up when they inevitably come face to face.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>But when they wake up in bed\u00a0next to each other the following morning with Ezra\u2019s grandmother\u2019s diamond on Frankie\u2019s finger, they have zero memory of how they got there\u2014or about any of the events that transpired the night before. Now Frankie and Ezra have to\u00a0put aside old grievances in order to figure out what happened, what\u00a0didn\u2019t\u00a0happen...and to ask themselves the most troubling question of all: what if they both got it wrong the first time\u00a0around?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/3-hearts-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"135\" height=\"44\" \/><\/p><hr \/><p><strong>Release Date:<\/strong> Nov 1, 2022<br \/><strong>Heat Level:<\/strong> Warm<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong>\u00a0Penguin Group<br \/><strong>Imprint:<\/strong>\u00a0Berkley<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> $10.99<\/p><hr \/><blockquote><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><em>\u201cThe night she sidled up to him at the bar at Lemonhead, he\u2019d told her that she was the easiest person to talk to he\u2019d ever met; that she made him want to tell her his secrets. Frankie remembered being flattered: she had been called many things, but amiable and approachable had never been among them. And he was easy to talk to too; like someone she needed to know, like someone who made her like herself more than she realized she could. And so she decided that they were going to be great friends, and they had been.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">College sweethearts <strong>Frankie<\/strong> and <strong>Ezra\u2019s<\/strong> messy difficult breakup right before graduation has them both vowing that they will never speak to each other again. Ten years later, they are reunited at a wedding where they wake up in bed with wedding rings on. Unable to recall anything from the previous night, they embark on a journey through their old haunts to uncover the answers to how they ended up together again.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><strong>Frankie Harriman<\/strong> is one of the most unlikeable heroines I have ever read in my life. She lacks any sense of empathy and is completely self-absorbed. I kept hoping for Ezra\u2019s sake that she would convince me that she was redeemable and not as awful as the book kept making her out to be. That didn\u2019t happen until the last ten percent when you finally got to see any real emotion from her. Ezra, on the other hand, was a saving grace to this book, and if it wasn\u2019t for him then I would have just stopped reading all together. Ezra was sweet, kind, and romantic. He loved his big gestures. Any woman would be lucky to be with him, but sadly he was always pining for someone who didn\u2019t see how great he was.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">In the end, I really did struggle with this book both from the bad taste that Frankie left in my mouth to the jarring flashbacks in the middle of chapters with no warning. It\u2019s going to be a book that will appeal to a specific type of reader, but unfortunately, that reader is not me.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">Fans of books by <strong>Jen DeLuca<\/strong> and <strong>Ali Hazelwood<\/strong> might be interested in this one.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Michelle<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3XdwDfu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apple.co\/3Vbf2mH\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iBooks<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/the-rewind-allison-winn-scotch\/1140956554?ean=9780593546543\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B&amp;N<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/the-rewind-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kobo<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Allison_Winn_Scotch_The_Rewind?id=LTZcEAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Play<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29678","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29678"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29678\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29751,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29678\/revisions\/29751"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29679"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29678"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29678"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29678"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
