Serena Bell’s Do Over is a charming novel about second chances in love. As a first-time reader of Bell’s work, I was not disappointed with this book. The story moves smoothly from beginning to end, capturing the themes of love, family, and genuine friendship.
The plot follows Maddie, who returns home during spring break after a difficult breakup and reconnects with her childhood friend. They become involved in each other’s lives and begin co-parenting years later.
When Maddie discovers her boyfriend cheating with her best friend, she is heartbroken and without a home. Her friend offers her a spare room, and their relationship deepens.
The characters are well-developed, and Bell’s writing style is simple yet warm and engaging. Jack’s character is exceptionally well-crafted, with his kindness and sincerity making him easy to root for. Watching him grow and overcome his fears is a highlight of the novel.
The dual perspectives of the characters add depth and allow the reader to experience the story from different angles. The book also features moments of wit and humor and it was such a joy to read.
Overall, I recommend Do Over for anyone looking for a well-written love story with steamy moments and a child in the mix.
