Spotlight and Giveaway: The Do-Over

Today we are pleased to feature Bethany Turner's latest romcom, The Do-Over. Melissa enjoyed her previous novel, Plot Twist (reviewed here), and is excited to read this one too. Thanks to HarperCollins, we have THREE copies to give away!

Sometimes dreams come true. Other times, the best outcome begins with an epic fail.

Career-driven McKenna Keaton has devoted her life to attaining the senior partnership at her law firm. So asking a man on a date should be nothing. But the past four days have been the worst of her life and have called everything she thought she knew about herself into question. Besides, she can’t remember her last real date—one that didn’t involve using a blind date as an opportunity to get a stranger’s perspective on effective cross-examination techniques. (It’s like sharing fondue with a jury!)

But a real date? And with shy, nerdy Henry Blumenthal—McKenna’s high school rival for valedictorian who once took three hours to beat her at chess? Scratch that. He’s Hank Blume now, the famed documentarian, Durham’s darling son, who has attained all his dreams and more. He also happens to look like he stepped out of an Eddie Bauer catalog.

Whereas McKenna is a disgraced workaholic from New York on unpaid leave, accused of a white-collar crime she would never commit, succumbing to panic attacks, watching her dreams unravel. At age thirty-eight—and destined by the family curse to die before she turns forty, it appears—it’s absolutely the wrong time to have a major crush on a man. Especially one who treasures his memories of McKenna as the girl Most Likely to Succeed. (Synopsis courtesy of Amazon.)

“Pitch-perfect comedic timing, a relatable heroine, and a refreshing sweetness elevate this novel above the sea of modern rom-coms. The rare author who can make me laugh-out-loud, The Do-Over is Bethany Turner at her best.” 
—Lauren Layne, New York Times bestselling author

“Bethany Turner has crafted a delightful, witty story with zippy dialogue, warmly relatable characters, and hilariously apt pop culture references. I found myself sneaking off to read just one more chapter. I’m still smiling thinking about this book. Reading it felt like eating a big bowl of Lucky Charms mixed with Fruity Pebbles. A colorful explosion of happy.” 
—Rachel Linden, bestselling author of The Enlightenment of Bees

Bethany Turner has been writing since the second grade, when she won her first writing award for explaining why, if she could have lunch with any person throughout history, she would choose John Stamos. She stands by this decision. Bethany now writes pop culture–infused rom-coms for a new generation of readers who crave fiction that tackles the thorny issues of life with humor and insight. She lives in Southwest Colorado with her husband, whom she met in the nineties in a chat room called Disco Inferno. As sketchy as it sounds, it worked out pretty well in this case, and they are now the proud parents of two teenagers. Connect with Bethany at her website or across social media, where she clings to the eternal dream that John Stamos will someday send her a friend request.

Personally, I would like to do-over my college years and invest more in my health and wellbeing, rather than racing through my education to earn a diploma and not focus on what was most important, which was insuring I was healthy and happy.

Doing over my early adulthood and showing more empathy, compassion and kindness to family.

No, because if I did I would probably not be with my husband and have had the experiences in life that have made me who I am.

I would have been nicer/kinder to my parents during my teen years if I could do that over again. Thanks for the chance!

I would have asked my parents more about their pasts.

I think if I had chosen to go to a different high school, the same one as the majority of my classmates instead of to the same school as my neighbour, my whole life would be different in a good way.
