The Girl I Was by Jeneva Rose

A Compelling Journey of Self-Discovery and Redemption.

Jeneva Rose’s novel The Girl I Was masterfully blends fantasy and women’s fiction to narrate the emotional journey of Alexis Spencer, a woman who finds herself mysteriously transported back to her college days in 2002. On the brink of despair after losing her job and relationship, Alexis wakes up in her 18-year-old body alongside her younger self, Lexi, and faces a bittersweet opportunity to confront her past. This imaginative premise becomes a profound exploration of grief, regret, and personal responsibility rather than an escapist fantasy, inviting readers to reflect on how we view our younger selves through the lens of disappointment and longing.

The novel excels in its complex portrayal of Alexis and Lexi as two distinct characters sharing one identity, embodying the dichotomy between bitterness and hope. Present-day Alexis is cynical and blames Lexi for the perceived failures that shaped her unhappy present, while Lexi represents optimism, spontaneity, and the fearless spirit that Alexis has lost over the years. Their initial antagonism and eventual reconciliation provide a riveting depiction of inner conflict and growth. Through their interactions, Rose delves into themes of forgiveness, acceptance, and the transformative power of self-compassion, illustrating how embracing both our flaws and strengths paves the way for healing.

“A heartfelt and sharply insightful novel that resonates deeply with anyone longing for second chances or grappling with self-forgiveness..”

The Book Guide® Editor

As Alexis navigates the early 2000s once again, she witnesses the struggles of her friends and learns the importance of authentic connection and vulnerability, which she previously neglected. The story crescendos with Alexis accepting responsibility for her past choices rather than blaming fate or her younger self. This acceptance sparks real change, altering her present in meaningful ways—stronger relationships, career fulfillment, and a future shaped by accountability and gratitude. Rose’s narrative ultimately reveals that while we cannot rewrite history, we have the power to change how we live with it and how we grow from it.

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo (2017)

This book is also fiercely and unapologetically socio-political and we love that. Evelyn’s story is one of being a woman in a man’s world. It is one of being a Cuban woman in a white woman’s world. It is one of being a bisexual woman in an era where attraction to women was demonized by the whole culture. It is one of hiding yourself for ambition, one of trying to decide which one takes precedent, one of aging, and one of never knowing whether your choices were right.
