It was an ok read but it was confusing with the rewind part and it was far fetched. I did like the characters.

What would you do if you had the chance to go back in the past and redo a choice that you had made in hopes that things would be better? Would you take that chance? Rewind to Us offers answers to these questions, as Dixie Mulligan contemplates using her Rewind, a chance to redo one single choice, to fix things between her and her best friend, Sawyer (a.k.a the boy she's in love with).

Conceptually, I think this is pretty unique and does a really good job at explaining the consequences of doing a Rewind and the butterfly effect that happens because of it. Dixie's internal conflict is done very well and how she continues to struggle between choosing to use her Rewind and actually not doing it at all. And when she does make that choice, it is not easy. Your heart truly goes out to Dixie, because from the get-go she is struggling with the consequences of what happened (which, in my opinion, wasn't her fault at all). The story does an amazing job at making you feel for her and why she's doing what she's doing.

The dynamics between Dixie and Sawyer were really well written and even when they were all awkward/not speaking to each other, you can still tell they really cared for each other. Their relationship might be one of the cutest representations of the friends to lovers trope that I've read recently. The way they bond over their love for films and movie theatres was so so cute. My only qualm with the book was that one reveal that feels like it comes out of nowhere, although it might just be me and I didn't pick up on it. But after the reveal, that half of the story is where Dixie as a protagonist truly shines.

The book is also a true ode to film, movies and of course, going to movie theatres. The Trip, which is a central location in the book, sounds like a dream to visit and I lowkey wish it was real so that I could watch a movie there.

Overall, Rewind to Us was such a fun read and I'm looking forward to what Molly Morris will write next!

This was such a great book! I'm always a fan of books that involve manipulating time and this was a captivating read. Highly recommended for grades 8 & up.

I really didn't expect to enjoy this book so much.

The relationships between the characters was believable (doesn't necessarily have to be realistic, but y'know, something that makes sense). It's nice how close Bunny and Dixie are, personally, I find it unusual for cousins to love each other to that level, but I guess thats just because my family aren't like that. However, for Sawyer and Dixie, I do wish there was more romance and focus on them at the end, instead of the family (I'm not talking about what happened with Bunny). A big part of the story is family, which I understand, but the main focus should have been Dixie and Sawyer.

We never found out Sawyers real name??? Did I miss something? At the bowling scene Dixie put his real name on the screen and he was fighting her to take it off, but after that, it went dark

The concept is so intriguing and different from alot of things, If we get the kindle cover on a physical copy, then I will be buying that.

Thanks Netgalley and the author for the ARC🎭📸🔆

ARC review
Publication date 19 June 2025

3,5 stars

“Rewind to Us” by Molly Morris is an YA contemporary romance.

Thank you HarperCollins UK for the advance digital copy of the book (via Netgalley).
Opinions from this review are completely my own.

Dixie plans to tell her best friend Sawyer that she is in love with him.
They did not speak for a few months and now he seems to have moved on with someone else.

But Dixie's family can use a Rewind, which means she can go back in time to change it.

The time travel part of the book is interesting.
I liked the information about the Rewind form the beginning of each chapter.
Also, the plot twist was unexpected.
There was just a bit of romance close to the end, but I liked the friendship and family part of the story.

The pace was a bit slow and some things felt repetitive, but overall I enjoyed the book.

Thank you to NetGalley, HarperCollins UK, and the author for granting my request to read this e-ARC and provide my honest opinions.

The friends-to-lovers story you didn't know you needed. While it started off a bit slow, once I got into it, I was completely glued. I absolutely adore time travel stories, and this one nailed the emotional impact and the trope.

A little backstory: Dixon and Sawyer have been friends for 4 years, but there are some things Sawyer doesn't know about his best friend. What’s undeniable, though, is the love and ease in their friendship. Dixon plans to confess her feelings this summer—even though she may have already blown her chance over spring break… but that comes with its own surprises.

Each page and chapter came with its own emotions, and it was so nice to see how Dixon owned her mistakes and grew. There were a lot of emotions, and I felt every single one of them! The character development? Top-notch.

Overall, I loved this book!!!!!! Thank you once again for the e-ARC.

It did took me some time to finish this book since I had trouble with the format (not writing style but the kindle edition of it) but I am glad I was able to finish! Was a very nice and unique story

DO NOT START THIS UNTIL YOU CLEAR YOUR SCHEDULES AS YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PUT IT DOWN!!!!… I absolutely LOVED… Perfect read to lift your spirits and keep you hooked… Will keep you up late at night

No es exactamente lo que esperaba cuando lo empecé, quizás el hype o la sinopsis me hicieron generarme una opinión diferente.

Aún así es un libro con momentos bonitos

Super cute with the perfect mix of whimy and edge. I really enjoyed Dixie's story.
Also, very much loved the city on the ceiling.
