4.25 stars! Okay, so I loved this book! I love, love, love the trope where one night can change everything and it isn’t what you thought it would be.  I the nostalgia vibes and that sometimes life DOES have to restart in your 30s and 40s and it is okay, you can bounce back and thrive are huge drivers in the book for me. Honestly, this book felt so familiar watching people grow up and fall into familiar niches (working back at the school, hawking MLM, the party boy who never grew up). I loved Nat as a best friend and am so happy she still thrived after all of the cancellation. I’m glad Rachel did show what a layoff is like and trying to be “fun employed” and failing because she likes being good at things. 

The early 00's was so delicious to flash back to and relive AIM and chat rooms. It reminded me if PEN15 and 13 Going on 30 had a baby with the Y2K scenes mixed with pining over an old friend in the present.

For the romance, I love this 2nd chance and normally they are not for me, but this had me giddy and so excited to see them wind up together. The romance was perfect and you root for them to  get together. When they do it is magic and makes you want to curl even tighter into your book.
