Book Review: Rewind It Back (Windy City #5)
Rewind It Back gave me heartbreak, healing, and an existential crisis—thanks Rio. The slow burn? Torturous in the best way. The love? Soulmate-level. The found family moments? Sob.
But okay, real talk—did we need that much emotional damage before the happy ending? And maybe, just maybe, a couple of flashbacks felt repetitive (yes, they were cute, but it just needed a lil break!).
Still, I devoured every page. This is romance with teeth, heart, and humor. And I’ll be rereading it whenever I need to feel everything again.

No other explanation. They’ve loved each other their entire lives. And yes, I cried. Multiple times. At inopportune moments. (Why did I read this in public again?)
The dual timeline? Genius. The past was adorable and full of yearning, the present was aching and raw, and somewhere in the middle… it hit. You know what I mean. THAT scene. You’ll know when you get there. You’ll need a moment. Or twelve.
And can we talk about the epilogue? No spoilers, but just know it shattered me and rebuilt me in a way that only the final book in a beloved series can. It was a goodbye—but also a thank you.
