If you like easy breezy Contemporary Romance or YA fiction with a touch of SF, this is worth checking out. It has a fun spin on the whole Time Travel/Groundhog Day thing.
I think the CW TV network should adapt it, it would be a good fit for their brand. She lives in Brooklyn, she's super rich, kind of cool....you get the picture.

This was an easy, fluffy book that made use of an elegant conceit to tell a basic but endearing story: A woman starts living each year of her life out of order, jumping into a different year's future or past body every New Year at midnight.

4.5/5
Heads up: drugs and swearing are prominent in this book, as well as some steamy scenes
Imagine your life completely changing at midnight the night of your nineteenth birthday. That’s Oona’s life. We follow her as she lives her life out of order - on the inside she just turned 19, but the body she ‘jumps’ into is 51. (HOW CRAZY IS THAT?!)
Prologue: “Her mind was out of sync with her reflection.”
Crazy timelines (think a bit like The Midnight Library) intertwine with the great lesson to live you ...more
