Review: Woke Up Like This

Woke Up Like This Woke Up Like This by Amy Lea
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Three and a half stars.

Charlotte Wu is a planner and an obsessive list-writer. She's created a 17 page PowerPoint presentation of her ideas for the prom theme, but her ideas are shot down by the senior class president, her nemesis JT Renner who seems to go out of his way to thwart her, eg by running for president when he knew she wanted the role.

When Charlotte and JT are decorating the gym early one morning she falls off the ladder and lands on him, but when she comes to its to find that she has been transported 13 years into the future and apparently she and JT are engaged. JT is similarly perplexed and its fun to see these two high school teens trying to adult whilst also trying to recreate the accident which catapulted them into the future.

This is a sweet riff on that Jennifer Garner film 13 going on 30, except this time two characters go forward in time.
