I enjoyed it while I was reading, but otherwise felt like something was missing or that the plot points didn’t tie as nicely together as I had hoped.

I came across this book on the Overdrive library App. I read some of the reviews on Goodreads but went ahead and read the book anyway. Possibly out of a morbid sense of curiosity. I should have trusted the reviews. The 'mystery' part of the book was actually fair to middling, but the rest drove me crazy!

A little cheesy with some presumptuous tones, but also adorable and heart warming. The main character, Jett, was very relatable. She was hopeful, but also realistic. I admired her need to help people she didn't know that well and put others before herself. I honestly didn't even need the main story. I could've read a whole book about her backstory.

You know how when you are reading a book or when you finish a book, an opinion and some commentary forms in your mind? Well, this book is kind of an exception. There were so many things that happened in this book, but I just couldn't come to a conclusion of what I want to say about it and what my opinion is about the book and the events inside the book.
The Big Rewind is about a Jett, who moved to New York to become a journalist. However, she only has a temp job now working as a proofreader. One day, as Jett was taking a misplaced mail to her neighbor's apartment, Jett found that her neighbor had been murdered. Nobody knows who did it, and the only clue that Jett has is the misplaced mail that she got the day she found her neighbor dead. This is a story about friendship, mystery, romance and justice.
Because of the lack of opinion I have on this book, I decided to just give it 3 stars because that's what's in the middle of the spectrum. I can't say that I hated this book, nor can I say that I loved this book. I don't even know whether I liked it or not. And once I finished the book, I didn't have any emotions or comments. I just kind of went with the flow while reading this one and didn't really think about the story that much. I don't know, I guess I might have been distracted at that time.
I have already waited a number of days before finally writing this review because I didn't want my review to turn out like this, but I guess I don't have a choice. I just couldn't drag out not writing a review any longer, but I still also couldn't form an opinion in my head so I just settled for this instead. Gah, it sucks not having anything to comment on, which by the way is not the author's fault. Just saying. I just didn't feel this book, that's all.

Beautiful, cheesy, drama, tears, ironic, fun, crazy, weird and just plan perfect. I love quotes and this book had plenty to share. It is about the past, the present, what we think we see, what is really there, and what we're willing to do about it. Was it profound - no, was it kind of crazy how it all came together - yes, but truly a wonderful book. I look forward to reading more from this author. And beginning music into it - bliss.
