"Kate is a 35-year-old social media obsessed woman, who, after being jilted at her rehearsal dinner, discovers she can change her life by what she writes in her Facebook status. Heartbroken and confused over why she was left, she wishes to go back in time--to before her fiance Max, broke things off-- so she can try to save their relationship. Because it turns out, the reason Max ended their engagement has a lot to do with Kate's close friend and co-worker, Courtney. Kate, with all of the power at her finger tips, continuously writes status updates to try keep them apart, but for reasons she doesn't understand, she ends up pushing them together over and over again. And she starts to wonder if it's even possible to literally re-write fate. Meanwhile, the only two people who know she's time traveled are her two best friends since college, Jules, a frazzled married mom of two and pastry chef and Drew, a comfortably single computer programmer. In order to convince them she's really gone back in time, she's offers to use her wishes to help them with their own lives. But do her attempts at improving them help? Jules's marriage begins to unravel and Drew's relationship with a celebrity changes him. As Kate watches all of their lives play out on and off the internet, she begins to question everything: her obsession with perfection, with posting photos with just the right amount of filter, with crafting a status update that will generate the most likes. She realizes that her obsession with social media -of posting the status of all things online -- and all the pitfalls that come with putting your entire life on the internet, might have been what got her left her at the altar in the first place"--… (más)

Thank you to the authors and The Romance of Reading (FB) for this book.

I'm not a big reader of chick lit, 30-somethings, and time travel in the first place but needed something different to read and this might have been it if I could get into it.

As usual, I gave it 50-100 pages and I couldn't get through this book. I know that only part of the book was about FB and her loving it, which I could relate to but the rest of the plot was just too silly for me to finish it.

When her fiancee leaves her during the rehearsal dinner of their wedding, everything goes back to a month before her wedding. Her FB status' takes her back before this all happened and her hair is perfect, etc. etc. I liked her two friends Jules and Liam more than I liked her I think. Even though I didn't finish it, I had a feeling I knew what the end was going to be. I read a few reviews on Amazon from reviewers who didn't like it either and I was assuming correctly the end. ( )

This was my very first Audible book. I loved this book. Very entertaining with a great narrator. ( )

Kate gets broken up with right before her wedding. Her fiancée had to announce to everyone that there will be no wedding.

Devastated Kate thinks of all her happy Facebook posts about her wedding and about her fiancée and she wonders why she didn't see this coming. She feels blindsided.

She goes online and posts an honest message about how she is heartbroken and wishes she could go back in time a month.

Here's where the book description and the story itself diverge a bit. Yes, she can post her wishes on Facebook and have them really happen. But most of the focus of the story is on the first wish she makes, that she could go back in time a month.

Now she's one month in the past, with the knowledge of what happens to her in the future. She takes the time to see what she can do to save her relationship.

I enjoyed the story but it was heavier than I expected. This isn't about a girl having fun with these wishes, this is about a girl trying very hard to hang onto her fiancée.

This was a cute read. Kind of predictable 'chick-lit' but entertaining if you're in the right frame of mind, which apparently I was. The characters are likable and the story moves right along. Nothing life-changing, just some mind-candy when you're in the mood for something light and easy. ( )
