Description
Imagine the worst day of your life... Now imagine living it on repeat...
This Friday the 13th has been particularly unlucky. Jess has been fired, she's gone from dating two guys to none and she's been kicked out of her flat.
As she falls asleep, she is filled with relief that this terrible day is over. Tomorrow she will try to fix things, tomorrow cannot be any worse than this.
Except it is. Maybe not worse... but exactly the same. When Jess wakes up the next morning, it is Friday the 13th again. And again. And again. And again.
Jess knows how this goes, she's seen the films: this is her wake up call. But she had no idea she needed a wake up call. How is Jess supposed to work out where she's gone wrong when, as far as she's concerned, she's been having the time of her life?
Perfect for fans of Mhairi McFarlane, this modern-day Groundhog Day is the ultimate escape for anyone who has ever wanted a do-over.

About the Author
Aged 14, Rosie Mullender decided that her top five life goals were to work for Cosmopolitan magazine, have her name printed on a film poster, write a novel, buy a dog, and get married. Although she's spent the last 30 years working through the list, she's still not quite there yet. In her 20 years as a journalist, she's worked on both 'real-life' weekly and glossy monthly magazines (including reviewing films at Cosmopolitan), and she currently works as a freelance writer. Now she's finally ticked off number three, her next plan is to tackle the last two goals on the list. You can follow her @Mullies on Twitter to find out how it's going.
