The Do Over by Sharon M Peterson

I am so excited to finally share this incredibly cute debut novel by Sharon M Peterson! It comes out oficially today 1 August 2022 and can be purchased as a kindle copy, audio book or physical book from Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Waterstones
the synopsis reads as follows:
Sorry, the old Perci can’t come to the phone right now. There’s nothing like experiencing the most humiliating breakup in history for a serious wake-up call. After getting dumped over the radio, with millions of listeners tuning in, my life is in serious need of a do-over. Trying to please everyone else isn’t working, so it’s time to focus on me. Cue my anti-New-Year’s resolutions that even I can’t fail at: Stop dating. (Men are the worst.) Stop trying to lose weight. (I’m never giving up chocolate!) Stop working so hard. (Selling mortgages is not my dream career.) Stop trying to live up to unrealistic expectations. (Start living my best life!) But not everyone is on board with the new Perci—my overbearing mother is still dreaming about me walking down the aisle with my awful ex. To keep her far away from my love life, I made up an imaginary boyfriend, but in a moment of panic, I accidentally blurted out my not-so-imaginary neighbor’s name instead! Nate, the bad boy next door with gorgeous hazel eyes, a razor-sharp jawline, and mysterious scar, might be hot, but he’s definitely not my boyfriend. Now all I need to do is stick to my resolutions while also keeping my interfering family away from my non-existent lover who has no idea that we’re fake dating. What could possibly go wrong? Fans of TikTok sensations The Love Hypothesis, The Unhoneymooners, and Sarah Adams will love this completely addictive, feel-good rom-com. An absolutely hilarious novel for anyone who feels they need to start living life to the fullest.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This book was so much more than 'just a romcom' it was refreshing, wholesome and feel good with some romance thrown in, with the occasional pun and slightly dirty joke and I loved it. I instantly felt a connection to Perci (Persephone) I loved and envied her relationship with her grandmother.I fell so hard for Nate, I did not however care for her meddling, overbearing mother but grew to understand where she was coming from. I enjoyed the mimi-isms at the start of each chapter, they had me laughing out loud. I love how she grows and changes into New Perci, the woman she is meant to be, not without some mishaps and drama of course. Perci is now one of my favourite characters of all time. Thank you netgalley and bookouture for the arc copy in exchange for my honest opinions.
