    I'm sad that I want to read this again, but I don't actually own the book QwQ
    Anyways, I'll use the chance to do a review about it, then: Seconds is a great book by the writer of Scott Pilgrim, and while there are some similarities, this is a more serious and mature story.
    We follow Katie and her stressed life, she wants to open a new restaurant even though the new one is fine, she's having a thing with the main cook, but she's still in love with her ex... she's being haunted by all her mistakes in life. But Seconds, her restaurant, has something that may help her undo everything that she has done wrongly, she just needs to eat some mushrooms she found and write what she wants to change and voilá! Past changed! Of course changing the past may have unwanted repercussions...
    The story and message is not really a new thing, but Brian can make it extremely interesting and grab you from beginning to end. The main reason for that is the main character. (Continues in comments)

      Editing … She's not the most lovable character, but she's one of the most relatable. Everyone makes mistakes, everyone fucks up... and everyone would like to undo those fuck ups. Everyone can be a little selfish, or stupid or do the bad decisions, even when everything is saying that it IS a bad decision. Katie is flawed, but she's most definitely human. And that's why I love her. Hazel seems to be the character that has much more love though, mostly because she's the shy, cute girl of the story, that serves as the conscience of the main character.

      Editing … And it's interesting to see how things start crumbling as Katie tries and tries to undo mistakes and undo the mistakes that come with undoing the previous ones. How she gets more and more stressed, frustrated and desperate. It's a great journey from beginning to end. And one I highly recommend. Specially if you're into Scott Pilgrim.
