Woke Up Like This

A Novel

De: Amy Lea, Mindy Kaling - introduction

Narrado por: Natalie Naudus

“Amy Lea’s Woke Up Like This reminded me that the exciting and complicated feelings of our teenage years never truly fade away. The book perfectly captures high school nostalgia . . . It’s a feel-good story for the young and young at heart.”—Mindy Kaling

For two high school seniors, it’s seventeen going on thirty—overnight—in a magical romantic comedy about growing up too fast and living in the moment.

Planning the perfect prom is one last “to do” on ultra-organized Charlotte Wu’s high school bucket list. So far, so good, if not for a decorating accident that sends Charlotte crash-landing off a ladder, face-first into her obnoxiously ripped archnemesis J. T. Renner. Worse? When Charlotte wakes up, she finds herself in an unfamiliar bed at thirty years old, with her bearded fiancé, Renner, by her side.

Either they’ve lost their minds or they’ve been drop-kicked into adulthood, forever trapped in the thirty-year-old bodies of their future selves. With each other as their only constant, Charlotte and Renner discover all that’s changed in the time they’ve missed. Charlotte also learns there’s more to Renner than irritating-jock charm, and that reaching the next milestone isn’t as important as what happens in between.

Navigating a series of adventures and a confounding new normal, Charlotte and Renner will do whatever it takes to find a way back to seventeen. But when—and if—they do, what then?

Cutest book ever!!!

This book is so sweet and wholesome. I’m obsessed with these characters. I literally didn’t want to finish this book because I didn’t want it to end :’)

Adorable!!

I loved this story! So cute, great love story-quick easy read-light hearted!
I did a hybrid read/listen.

13 going on 30 vibes

I’m not going to lie, it started out a little slow. Once you get get to the point of the two main characters being forced 13 years into the future it really picked up! The book was really cute, and overall a feel good type of story. Everything after the first 7 or 8 chapters was beyond worth it! 🥰

Unique and fun storyline

What a clever story. Really enjoyed it. This one will hold your interest better than most books of its kind. Highly recommend!

Love this so much!!!

Unique take on the beloved teen trope with a vibe of Big/13 Going on 30 all wrapped up in one! I absolutely adored this so much! New favorite teen love couple!

♥️♥️OMG!!♥️♥️

Omg this is one of my top favorite books of this year!! Maybe it's bc it reminds me of my husband and I as high school sweethearts. But omg the love story is so amazing!! High school kind of enemies, then time jump to bring engaged and realizing they're meant for each other!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Really good

This was really good. I could even see it being turned into a Hallmark movie. A time travel love story with a bit of a twist. Definitely recommend.

So nostalgic and cute!

I absolutely loved this book! If you like “13 Going On 30”, you’re going to be obsessed with Renner and Charlotte’s story. It was such a cute coming of age story. I wish I could read it again for the first time!

I enjoyed the narration by Natalie Naudus as well. She did great!!

Loved it!

I need this to become a movie! So so good! The character development was great and I felt like I could see the book playing out in my head.

I loved this!!!

What a GREAT book!! It even ends with a message to think about in your life.

I love how Charlotte and Renner learn about themselves, each other and how they truly feel about each other, through their trip through time. They’re decorating for Prom when Charlotte falls of the ladder landing on Renner and then they wake up 13 years later, when they’re 30 and engaged!! How can this be when they hated each other?!!!

This is such a fun, sweet and inspirational story!! Highly recommend if you enjoy romance, especially romcoms, with a splash of so-called time travel…no science-y stuff with this. I think of it as more fantasy than sci-fi time travel. It’s definitely a great read, hard to put down!!!

The narrator was excellent!!!
