Apart from her colleague and long-time friend-with-benefits Alasdair, she’s forgone friendships and relationships, and now she’s on track to become her firm’s youngest ever female partner. She should be ecstatic. But when a senior partner dies unexpectedly, Thea realises the people at his funeral are only there out of duty. Suddenly, Thea can’t shake the question: if she disappeared tomorrow, would anyone care?
As the life choices she’s made suddenly make less and less sense, Thea is forced to make a decision. Stick with the original plan or take a completely different path.
Thea has a chance to do it right this time, and fill her world with the things that matter. But can people really change? And once life starts looking up, why does it feel like there’s something… or someone she can’t seem to replace?
About The Author
My Review
The Do-Over follows Thea Rogers, a high-powered lawyer questioning her career-driven life after a colleague’s funeral prompts self-reflection. Initially focused on Thea’s inspiring journey to becoming the youngest partner at her firm, the story evolves as she begins prioritizing friendships, family, and personal fulfillment over work.
The first half captivates with themes of female empowerment and self-discovery, portraying Thea’s gradual and authentic transformation. However, the second half introduces a rushed and unnecessary romantic subplot that detracts from the narrative’s core focus on personal growth.
Despite this, The Do-Over remains a fast-paced, uplifting read, perfect for anyone seeking inspiration to reevaluate their priorities and embrace change.
