First day at her new high school!
Excited? Nervous?
Not when it repeats day after day after\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andie is starting her senior year at Punxsutawney High (yep, same town as the famous groundhog<\/a>), so sure that Colton will continue their summer movie-theater flirtation, but no.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Movie-obsessed Mom named her for the “Pretty in Pink”<\/a> redhead, but Andie’s life has turned into “Groundhog Day”<\/a> as she awakens the next morning and the next and the next\u2026 for the first day of school, over and over again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe Mom’s wish for Andie’s first kiss to be with her true love has something to do with it\u2026.hmmm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Published last week, just in time for Punxsutawney’s annual moment in the weather world’s spotlight!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you had the chance to repeat a day and only you knew it, what would you change?

My book talk<\/strong>: Repeating her first day of school over and over, Andie realizes that only her true love’s kiss will break her out of this “Groundhog Day” loop, but as a new senior at Punxsutawney High, she finds cliques that shut out others and her summer crush taken!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mom loves to use classic movies as life lessons, but Andie thinks the wrong guy goes to the prom with Andie (yes, same name) in “Pretty in Pink.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andie is certain that cute Colton is attracted to her during their summer at the movie theater, but as soon as he starts showing her around the school, Kaia moves in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waking up the next morning to her parents urging her to get ready for the first day of school, Andie tries a different outfit, a different way to stay around Colton, but same results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Repeat, repeat – try to be a cheerleader, a goth kid, on yearbook staff, but Kaia still gets Colton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Andie realizes who she really cares for and that her classmates have lots in common if they could see past clique labels (thank you, “Breakfast Club”!), she uses everything she’s learned throughout these many, many do-over days to make it happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But how will someone fall in love with her – in just one day?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
