About the author:

Jessica Warman’s novels have been published in 13 languages around the world. She lives in Pittsburgh, PA with her husband, children, and too many pets. This is her sixth book for young adults.

About the book:

Palm Springs meets 50 First Dates with a whole new twist when a teen relives the day she lost her virginity over and over again in this fresh, hilarious, subversive, and thought-provoking YA.

She’s about to have a serious temporal tantrum.

In retrospect, I probably should have passed on the ceviche.

It was already a weird Friday. My class is stuck on this bizarre remote island for our senior trip, I’m pretty sure Mr. D (“call me Max”) is hiding something from us, my ex-best friend turned biggest tormentor keeps stealing my candy, and tonight’s plan to finally ”do the deed” with my boyfriend is not going exactly as planned.

I mean, ceviche is delicious, don’t get me wrong. But a dish made from a supposedly immortal octopus should really come with a warning label.

Caution: the ludicrously fresh, delicious snack you’re about to enjoy may result in immortality, no consequences to any actions, and getting stuck in a time loop for all of eternity.

Now every morning I wake up, and it’s the same Friday all over again. Same annoying classmates. Same weird-ass island. Same outrageous candy theft. The only person I can count on to keep me from losing my grip on this new reality is Louis, my best friend, who knows me better than anyone else in this world.
