Gradchanted by Morgan Matson is a fun, heartwarming adventure that blends the excitement of high school graduation with a magical twist. Cass Issac is no stranger to moving on—her dad's house-flipping business means she's always the new girl, never sticking around long enough for goodbyes. But when she attends Grad Nite at Disneyland with her best friend Bryony, Cass expects a fun, carefree night to wrap up her high school years. Instead, everything goes wrong: she ruins British bassist Freddie Sharma's big break, has a major falling-out with Bryony, and ends up stuck in a time loop, forced to relive the same chaotic night over and over. Now, Cass must figure out how to make things right before she’s trapped at Grad Nite forever.

The premise is creative, and I loved how Cass's journey is both emotional and hilarious as she navigates the fallout from her actions and tries to fix her relationships. Matson’s writing captures Cass’s growth beautifully, and the mix of humor, friendship, and romance makes for a delightful read. If you're into time loops, magical realism, and stories about finding closure, *Gradchanted* is a perfect pick for your next read!

Ground hog day meets high school graduation. What's worse they having a fight with your best friend ruining someone's big back.? Having to relieve that day over and over. Unless you can find away to stop it. It was cute and read that teens would like more than I did.

Unpopular opinion: I don't love a time loop BUT I love a Morgan Matson book so of course I had to request this book and it was a delight. I loved the story and the way that Matson wrote a time loop story that was set in one of the most magical places on earth. Cass finds herself reliving her grad night at Disneyland over and over and over again after she makes a wish while leaving one of the most magical places on earth. Cass finds herself on a course to right some wrongs, rebuild some relationships and maybe form some new ones. I devoured this story and I really enjoyed the way that the author had Cass deal with re-do of this one night. This will be a hit with my high school students! Thank you netgalley for this arc in exchange for my honest opinion.
