Andie is the type of girl who always comes up with the perfect thing to say тАж after itтАЩs too late to say it. In a disastrous first day full of mishap at her new high school in Punxsutawney, PA, she just wants to disappear. Her passion and knowledge of movies тАФ from rom coms to suspense and everything in between тАФ made her think a fresh start would be easy, and maybe lead to her first kiss. When she wakes up caught in an endless loop of her first day at her new school, Andie decides to take matters into her own hands and find a way to stop the time loop тАФ whatever it takes.
Convinced the curse will be broken when she meets her true love, Andie embarks on a mission: infiltrating the various cliquesтАФfrom the jocks to the nerds to the misfitsтАФto find the one boy who can break the spell. What she discovers along the way is that people who seem completely different can often share the very same hopes, dreams, and hang-ups. And that even a day that has been lived over and over can be filled with unexpected connections and plenty of happy endings.
