The Do-Over
From the author of the “genuinely funny” and “delightful” Loathe at First Sight (NPR) and "cinematic, charming" So We Meet Again (Emily Henry), a fun rom-com about a young Korean-American woman having to return to college after discovering she's a few credits shy of completing her degree—and discovers one of her TA's is her old college boyfriend. Lily Lee is a bestselling author of the HOW TO BE A WORK SUPERNOVA series and her editor wants her to strike while the iron’s hot with a new book about HOW TO LAND THE PERFECT JOB but to do this, Lily needs some practice. After all, she got her first job straight out of undergrad and she never had to interview much after writing her books. So, Lily brushes up her resume and applies for a ton of jobs. Soon, she is invited to in-person interviews at a top consulting firm, which she’s actually excited about, but when they proceed with a background check, they discover something major: Lily's short a few credits and never actually completed her college degree. Her recurring nightmare where she doesn’t complete her coursework and can’t graduate actually comes true! Not only does she not get the job, but she also can’t write this book if she can’t successfully land a position because of her incomplete education. And if anyone finds out, her author career will be cancelled. Reluctantly. Lily decides to go back to her university to get her last few credits. Lily is admitted to her alma mater and relives her senior year of college: she finds roommates near campus, enrolls in the classes she took pass/fail (ironically with the same professors), gets invited to frat parties, eats most of her meals with “dining dollars,” and to make things even weirder and more chaotic, her econ TA is her old college boyfriend, Leo. As Lily and Leo reconnect, will they be able to overcome their past and move towards something real? Will her career as an author continue to flourish? Or will going back to school show Lily a potential new path for her life . . . ?
