From the New York Times bestselling author of The Perfect Marriage
From New York Times bestselling author, Jeneva Rose, comes a fully updated and expanded edition of THE GIRL I WAS, the first book she ever wrote, featuring six brand-new chapters from a fresh point-of-view.
“If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.”
Alexis Spencer will use any inspirational quote to rationalize her failures and shortcomings. Her closest friends are a distant memory, and her college debt is still as high as the day she left. But that’s all fine and dandy, because “whatever will be, will be.”
However, when Alexis loses her job and her relationship on the same day, there’s no quote strong enough to get her through that. In typical fashion, she blames the world for her problems, including her younger self, who should have tried harder.
Feeling sorry for herself, Alexis finds a bottle of vodka from her college days and goes on a bender, blacking out in the process. Only this time, she doesn’t wake up at home, or in the right city. In fact, she isn’t even in the right year.
Alexis is back in her college town in the year 2002.
Convinced this is her chance to do things over, she heads to her dorm—and comes face-to-face with her eighteen-year-old unruly self, who goes by Lexi because it’s “sexier.” Getting acclimated to life in the early 2000s is the easy part. Dealing with Lexi is where things prove difficult.
They might be the same person, but they couldn’t be more different from one another. Now Alexis and Lexi must learn to get along and come to terms with the fact that alone, they will never make things right, but together, they could change their life for the better.

The story explores the idea of going back in time and facing the person you used to be. What would you say to your younger self? What would you change if you had the chance? And more importantly—would those changes really lead to a better life? These are the kinds of questions this novel poses in such a relatable, emotional way that it really made me pause and think about my own journey.
Jeneva Rose delivers a beautifully written and uplifting narrative that’s full of introspection and hope. It’s a lovely reminder that healing and growth come with time—and that the person we are today is shaped by everything we’ve lived through.
Thank you, Jeneva Rose, for giving us this moving and meaningful story. The Girl I Was is a standout novel that proves she’s not just a master of thrillers—she can write with heart and depth too. Highly recommend!
