Once upon a time, a girl loved a boy and he loved her back. They lived happily ever after.

But our story was never that simple.

I loved Josh with all I had, right until the day he left. Now, all these years later, he was back—and wanting me the way I’d always longed for him. Except now, I belonged to someone else. Someone who never left me the way Josh had. I figured that ...more

“From the beginning, it was love.” A perfect quote from a perfect friend to lovers, second chance romance.

Rewrite has characters who are so easy to fall in love with, and a narrative littered with pure emotion and constructed with an easy effortless style. Rewrite is a story of second chances, loving forever and never giving up hope.

I can’t even begin to tell you how much this story went straight to my heart. Josh and Brianna’s story starts when they are kids and it’s the first time my heart broke.

This is absolutely one of Stephanie's BEST books!

I swear a Stephanie Rose book changes the tempo of my heart beats every time I read one. There's something to be said about the worlds Stephanie creates, the characters she develops. It's not always easy to pull the kinds of emotions she does from a reader but each time I get the privilege of reading her books I know that I'm in for a stunning experience. Her words are exhilarating, heartfelt, sweet, passionate, addictive, and always genuine.

I swear a Stephanie Rose book changes the tempo of my heart beats every time I read one. There's something to be said about the worlds Stephanie creates, the characters she develops. It's not always easy to pull the kinds of emotions she does from a reader but each time I get the privilege of reading her books I know that I'm in for a stunning experience. Her words are exhilarating, heartfelt, sweet, passionate, addictive, and always genuine.

Brianna has loved her best friend Josh since she can remember. They've been inseparable since they first met in kindergarten. Throughout the years the incredible bond between them only grew stronger and they became everything to each other.

"I met the love of my life when I was five years old."

Josh had a rough child hood and that's putting it lightly. He had to make decisions someone his age shouldn't have to make and was forced to grow up way too fast. Because of those choices, because of his background and his family he thougt he was never good enough for Bri and he thought all he would bring her was pain. So he came to a conclusion and his ultimate decision not only changed his life but Bri's forever.

“I’m poison, Brianna,” Josh whispered. “Just admit it.”

Now it's years later and Josh is back! He wants what he thought he never deserved but always longed for. Although they've stayed in touch with letters throughout the years things are different. The biggest difference? Scott. Brianna's boyfriend.

"Brianna was my center."

I rooted for Bri and Josh SO HARD! I wanted true love to prevail, I wanted to see Bri's happily ever after and while I was in my swoony cotton candy covered love bubble riding a Pegasus and drinking chocolate milk Stephanie totally throws in a MAJOR twist that I NEVER SAW COMING!! Gah! My anxiety and stress level was on HIGH!!

“You were my light, Bri,” he went on. “Then and now. I pushed you away because I thought you were better off, but I belong with you. Even in the darkest times, all the fights and shitty decisions , that’s the one thing I knew with absolute fucking certainty.”

I'm not going to lie, I am OBSESSED with Rose's men because they love with their whole heart, with everything that they are. Josh and Bri's story is so alluring, steamy, real and beautiful. I literally placed two fingers on my wrist at one point because I felt like my pulse was elevated. I know that everyone says that Stephanie is the queen of second chance romances and she definitely IS but to me Rewrite was more than that..... Josh wanted redemption, absolution, forgiveness and had the strength and courage to go after something he never thought he deserved.

"I loved Josh again. Who the hell was I kidding? I loved him still. I loved him always. It was a permanent affliction I’d never been able to shake, no matter how I tried or who I was with."

My favorite part about a Stephanie Rose book is that it's ok to believe in forever & always. ...more

Rewrite is a wonderful friends to lovers/second chance romance. My goodness! I swooned throughout this entire heartwarming story. Josh and Brianna are fabulous as friends and even more so as lovers. I loved how I was introduced to them when they first met when they were in the same kindergarten class. It sets the tone of story beautifully and I was immediately intrigued. With both of them and how their story would evolve.

I enjoyed how involved they were in each other’s lives when they were kids. Rewrite is a wonderful friends to lovers/second chance romance. My goodness!

I loved how I was introduced to them when they first met when they were in the same kindergarten class. It sets the tone of story beautifully and I was immediately intrigued. With both of them and how their story would evolve.

I enjoyed how involved they were in each other’s lives when they were kids. They truly were best friends and it hurt me how they slowly started to drift away from one another mainly because of the choices Josh made. Throughout it all Brianna remained loyal and supportive. How they remained in contact with each other throughout their years apart was sweet and it will continue to play a huge part in their lives especially with them finding their way back to one another.

Brianna is a strong woman who loves with all her heart. That never wavered one second. Not when they were kids or when her and Josh’s were apart. When Josh reappears Brianna has to question herself and her feelings. What does she want? Josh knows what he wants and that’s his best friend and the love of his life back. He was incredible in his pursuit to get Brianna back. He wooed, swooned and groveled and I loved every minute of it cause Brianna was definitely struggling. With his charms, delicious inked arms and her own emotions.

Of course there’s a twist and I actually enjoyed it cause it added more layers and growth to Josh and Brianna. It also solidified how strong they were together when facing obstacles in their lives. They are a unit and can overcome anything as long as they’ve each other.

Rewrite delivers flawlessly when it comes to romance and a little angst. Definitely a must read for readers who love friends to lovers stories cause Rewrite has it all. Beautiful and flawless prose and a strong and well developed story.

The Prologue of this book begins in a very touching way:

They say when you meet the love of your life, it’s a day you’ll never forget. Your soul sings and your body hums, all because you “know.” That innate instinct telling you, you finally found your person. Maybe it’s a look of longing across a crowded bar. Or the gasped breath you take as you slide into your seat in class next to the man of your dreams. That thunderbolt could hit you anywhere, at any time. The lightning singes ...more

Oh my word. Oh, the feelings are rushing out of me. This friends to lovers romance was done oh-so-right. It was a story filled with sweet moments. But, it also sucker punched you with the emotions. It was so endearing and heartfelt.

Josh and Brianna have been friends since kindergarten. And even at that young age without knowing exactly what love is, Bri felt it for the green-eyed little boy. There's no denying the immense connection between Josh and Bri. As they grow up feelings are developed, but never expressed. Josh's life has been a hardship and it starts falling apart. And in his mind Bri will be better off without him in her life so, he does the only thing he can do, he leaves. Though, without each other in their lives it doesn't diminish the fact that their still connected to one another.

"I loved him from the deepest part of my soul, but in silence."

After 10 years, Josh returns. He's back, but nothing is the same. So much time has passed, but at the same time when they see each other, it's as if it hasn't. The reconnecting of Bri and Josh was beautiful to read. I felt their chemistry. I felt their sadness and sorrow. I felt their happiness. They were always meant to be. But, with that said could it be enough, or would all those years apart take a toll on them?

"I wished I could rewrite our story. I’d fix it so I’d never lose him in the first place, and we’d never hurt anyone on our way back to each other."

My heart is so full. My love for Josh knows no bounds. He is the perfect book boyfriend. The love and devotion he has is beyond. I loved how caring he was. I loved that above anything he was there for Bri. He was the ultimate. And Bri, oh gosh how I adored Bri. I admired her selflessness and strength. Josh and Bri were two souls that were always meant to be. If two people were made for each other, it was Josh and Bri.

"There was never a single second I didn’t belong to you. All I ever wanted was you."

Stephanie, this was an absolute gem. I loved Josh and Bri's story. It was beautiful, inspiring, and consuming. Thank you for writing it and giving us Josh and Bri. ...more

Both narrators did fantastic with male and female voices as well. Even if you've read the book, you need to experience the audiobook!

*****

Stephanie Rose is the Queen of second chance romances! No one can pull you in with such endearing characters and then gut punch you right when you get comfortable the way that Stephanie can. Every one of her books is heartfelt, emotional, and beautifully honest. Rewrite is no exception.

This childhood friends to lovers story hooked me from the start and I couldn't turn the pages fast enough to find out what happened next. The connection between Josh and Brianna is undeniable and you will mourn right along side them for the well intentioned, but heartbreaking decisions that kept them apart.

I loved him from the deepest part of my soul, but in silence.

Told in dual point of view, in both the past and present, readers are slowly able to piece together Josh and Brianna's painful history. There will be times that you laugh at their easy going and playful banter, but also times when your heart will ache for all the missed moments and what ifs. The longing and yearning is palpable and you won't be able to stop yourself from rooting for these two to find their way back to each other.

I loved you then. I love you now.
I loved you all the years in between.

The heavier moments are balanced perfectly with plenty of swoon and steam, as well as fantastic secondary characters like Josh and Bri's other best friend, Reid. He brought some much needed levity to the more emotional scenes and was the best friend we all hope for, providing clarity and support in the most critical of times. There are some twists that I didn't see coming that really almost tore my heart out, but it's in these moments that we see our characters really shine. You definitely don't want to miss this incredible story of first loves and second chances!

Every declaration of love left me with chills. Overwhelming. Exhilarating. Rewrite was the love letter one writes in never forgetting about their first love.

"I met the love of my life when I was five years old."

Josh and Brianna have been friends since they can both remember. They’ve always had this intense connection. Neither one acted upon it for fear of ruining what they have. Despite Josh’s leave over the years they remain closer than ever. Josh left to be come a better man. And when he returns, Brianna is in the arms of another. There’s something different this time. Worthy or not, Josh isn’t willing to give up. This wasn’t the end of them. There’s more to their story. And he’s determined to change their ending.

"I loved him from the deepest part of my soul, but in silence."

This is so much more than a second chance romance. It echoes the beauty in finding the one the heart loves the most. Without going into detail, this is no love triangle. Josh and Brianna never tell you about their love. They allow you to feel it through their words and actions. These two have the kind of love that will have set your literary heart a flutter. Their love is infinite. Unwavering. Their love persevered. Through each obstacle, twist and turn their love remained absolute. Their story consumed me. Palpable. Unequivocal. This story is love in it’s most honest form.

"There was never a single second I didn’t belong to you. All I ever wanted was you."

Exquisitely written, Rewrite is a manifestation of one of the greatest love stories ever told. My heart is racing just thinking back at just how this story moved me. The emotional journey of their love story is one I will never forget. Flawless in it’s delivery, the story is skillfully written by an author with immense talent in romance writing. This is demonstrated in not only the crafting of the storyline, but in the development of her characters. You can’t help but root for Josh and Brianna from the beginning because the author simply places you in the depths of every emotion displayed. To put it simply, the author’s incomparable talent of producing such intimate and relevant storylines remains the reason why she will forever be on my must read now shelf. If anyone were to ask me the book that left me breathless this year? I’d recommend this one. Unreservedly.

Howev I have been devouring second chance romances like I need them for my next breath. There is just something about finding your second chance with the person you are meant to be with after struggles and heartbreak. Rewrite from Stephanie Rose is a second chance romance that will tug at your heart. It was sweet, heartbreaking and had all the feels.

Brianna and Josh have been best friends since they met in kindergarten. Inseparable since then, they built a strong friendship that turned to more. However, neither was ready to admit what they were feeling, so they kept their feelings hidden as best they could. But as they grew older, Josh faced responsibilities no teenager should and made choices he would come to regret and would put years between them.

Brianna loved Josh so much that when he began distancing himself from her, she was left heartbroken. But she never wavered from being there for him. Above everything else, he was her best friend. When he leaves, she is devastated and though she does not want to let him go, eventually she had to move forward.

Josh loved Brianna so much, but he always felt he was not good enough for her. When he had to step up and be responsible for his father and himself, he found himself drowning. With very little options, he fell into a bad crowd. Left with no choice, he left to become a better man, but a piece of his heart was left behind. He returns nearly ten years later and he wants her back. But this time, she belongs to someone else.

I must admit I was frustrated with both Brianna and Josh at times, however, I could totally understand why they made the choices they did. Brianna was sweet, loving, caring, but was weary of letting Josh in again as more than a friend, but even she could not deny what she felt. Josh realized his mistakes after he left and pushed her away, but he is back a better man and wants to prove to her he is the one for her. He was strong, caring and protective.

Josh is back and wants Brianna to see he has changed. But she is dating someone else. Can he show her they are meant to be together before it’s too late? But Brianna is afraid to let Josh in. The first time he left nearly broke her, she is not sure she could survive losing him again. Plus, there is a man who has been there for her when Josh wasn’t. What is the right choice? Can Josh and Brianna rewrite their ending? What happens when an unexpected past comes back to haunt them?

Rewrite by Stephanie Rose was heartbreaking and heartwarming. Josh and Brianna were always meant to be together, but circumstances led them down different paths. Could they find a way back to each other or was it too late? A great story with likeable characters!
