The Repeat Year (2013)
What would you do if you had the opportunity to relive a year of your life? If you had the chance to right wrongs, and make different choices? Olive Watson is about to find out. The past year of her life has been full of heartache and stress, including a break-up with her long-time boyfriend, her mother remarrying, and the strain of being a new ICU nurse. Olive is ready for a fresh start. She goes to sleep on New Year's Eve, and wakes up in her ex-boyfriend's bed on New Year's Eve a whole year earlier. Feeling disoriented and confused, Olive soon meets a woman named Sherry, who also "repeats" time. Olive is determined to make this year better. Her fresh perspective allows her to see past mistakes. But will it be enough to change the course of her life? This is a charming story with relatable, well-developed characters, a heart-breaking love story, and a nice balance of humor and drama. It is the kind of story that encourages people to be kind and forgiving not only to others, but also to themselves. (CK)
