The Girl I Was | by Jeneva Rose

Thirty year old Alexis Spencer has had a terrible day. She decides to drink her troubles away. When she wakes up she finds herself in a bed that isn't hers. She is in a frat house and has no idea how she ended up there. She soon discovers that she's woken up in the year 2002 and is on her old college campus. 

Alexis runs into her 2002 self who goes by Lexi. Alexis is able to convince Lexi that she is her future self. She moves into her dorm room with her and they say that Alexis is Lexi's older sister. Alexis and Lexi set a plan in motion to get Alexis back to the future but along the way Alexis makes it her personal mission to get Lexi on a better path and improve their future life. 

The Girl I was is told through Alexis point of view. The story moves along quickly and has some incredibly emotional moments. The characters aren't exactly likable but it works for this story and helps to push it along. Besides we all have out ugly character moments which adds a level of belief.

I listened to this book and the narrater was outstanding and became Alexis. I have already recommend this book to a few friends. I wish I had read this sooner and it hadn't sat in my TBR pile.
