Restarting
On a random-ass Tuesday night, Joe Schmoe's average life is flipped on its head when he's told he has one week to overcome his Life's Obstacle. That'd be easy enough - except for two problems:
1) He has no clue what his Life's Obstacle is.
2) If he doesn't overcome it - he'll be killed.
To help him on his quest, Joe's been magically gifted five "Restarts" that grant him the ability to rewind the current day. As he redoes moments throughout his week, he discovers each Restart affects more than just himself.
Armed with humor, a baseball bat, and a plethora of random sports references, Joe and an unlikely companion set off on their mission to save his life.
Phil Got Books' debut novella blends comedy, action, and sci-fi into one weird little fast-paced story filled with twists, turns, and tomfoolery. Fans of The Office, Shrinking, Workaholics, Dungeon Crawler Carl, and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy should have a fun time reading Restarting.

Gotta give my boy Phil that 5 stars! Super fun novella and quick read. I can definitely see myself picking this up to reread if I ever need a solid palette cleanser. Great humor, good message, likable characters, pretty solid writing for a first novella. Can’t really knock too much. Some things got a little repetitive with descriptions but that’s really the only thing that took me out of it.
Phil if you’re reading this, good luck in the future with everything ahead of you and look forward to another book if you plan on writing more!

Shoutout Phil for getting me out of a 5 month reading slump. Quick read and a fun old goofy time

This is a strong debut from Phil Got Books—funny, weird, unpredictable, well paced and creative. There’s definitely room to grow; many of the characters felt like they shared the same voice, and the language didn’t always land for me personally. Still, it’s an impressive first effort for a broad audience, and I’d love to see him take a shot at a full novel.

Well, it was a very silly little book with aliens and monsters and a kind of magic that can rewind time. It had lots of sports references, they all flew over my head, but was explained enough for me to kinda know what's being talked about. lol.
After the first chapter my expectations were either that the MC accepts himself and his average life and/or finds a way to push beyond it in a meaningful way- all while having a really kick ass time doing it. Basically, acceptance of self, or finding a way in life to become a better version of one's self, both great options. In the end, it seemed to boil down to wanting friends, but erasing all the goofy (and then murderous) experiences it takes/took to learn how to get any kind of friendship off the ground.
There is talk of what it means of becoming a good person, though I think it is a bit incoherent. In the book, it equates it to doing more with one's time like lifting weights, or learning to play the harmonica in a week, with some sprinkles of helping others. Of course, the problem is, is that all of these acts of sacrifice come from a place of either guilt or a place of trying to save one's own life (and a blob's life too...). Ok, let's be honest, it's all about the latter of saving one's ass. Doing "good", "over coming life's obstacle"- what ever those mean independently and together- to escape impending death. That's technically still selfish, and not a pure and honest sacrifice... not doing or being "good" for good's sake. (You can blame my over analysis on philosophy, and I know this is just a silly little book, but I do take the conversation of what it means to be a good person very seriously).
I really enjoyed the voice of Joe and his interaction with Charles. Like a lot. However, the voices of the other characters did not differ enough from the MC, Joe. Because each pov was told in first person, I was getting really mixed up and had to keep looking back at the pov chapter heading. And the only physical descriptions I ever read were about the lesbians (is that PC, sorry). So all their voices sounded the same and I could not picture anyone distinctly. I found this to be frustrating.
The second best chapter starts on page 73 (the first chapter being the coolest). I just wish it didn't come at the expense of erasing yet another experience. As there are no do-overs in life, only one's ability to keep trying and keep getting better thru learning about what works and what doesn't...
Also, the second best chapter does a better job with inserting the authors thoughts (never giving up), rather than them getting spoon fed to us in the first chapter (men's health).
And I'm not sure why this happens so often, especially with Vic, but why is it that he is talking to himself in the past tense? That was very, very, strange. I kept asking myself, "are you talking to me, is this some 4th wall shenanigans, or does this character just go about their day monologuing their sorry past?", "Am I your imaginary friend?"... haha. Well, anyway.
It did feel like it would make a fun little guy movie. Good humor. And I can see the authors background for screen play storytelling come thru, as his dialogue was strong, and his plot was entertaining.
I just think the idea of what it means to be Good needs to be fleshed out, and the final restart needs to be able to allow the reader to be able to grieve all that happened before (all the mess ups, death, loss, erased experience, and every restart). He kinda tried, but it just left me feeling like, hell, I went thru all this just have two women think this guy is a freak and start a pity friendship (we'll see how long that lasts). Vik isn't even around anymore (what even was the point of his character?). Charles peaced out. So, Joe is back where he started, but with more trauma and it's something he can never speak of without possibly getting 51/50'd. I suppose now is a good time to circle back to the comment of men's health? Yeah? Yeah. Now that's a dark ending for you. And one I completely imposed on the book. But, it certainly is an interesting point, no?

Phil is one of my favorite book-tubers, and so I really wanted to support him with his writing debut, and I am so happy to say that this was a GREAT time! It helps that I was reading it in his silly tone of voice from his videos, which brought the dialogue to life for me, but the writing itself was extremely witty and funny and had me giggling pretty much all the way through (even though I know nothing about basketball and this book is full of basketball references). The story is fast-paced, fun, and weird in the best way possible. The characters are all likable (especially Charles who reminds me a lot of Rocky from Project Hail Mary). I could clearly see the influence that his favorite books had on his writing (Dungeon Crawler Carl is a big one). My only issue with this book is that the human characters seem to blend together personality wise. They all have a similar sense of humor and don’t come across as unique individuals. I think that maybe has something to do with Phil writing as himself, which is very entertaining, don’t get me wrong, but I had a hard time differentiating between the human characters for that reason. That’s really just a small criticism though because I loved every minute of this book and the ending is very satisfying, so I hope he writes a sequel!

As a fan of Phil Got Books' channel, I'm glad I got a chance to read his writing debut! In my opinion it's a solid entry in the world of published fiction. I had fun reading this book and it was a quirky, snappy read with lots of action. I was a fan of the dialogue between characters and I appreciated the overall message of the story Phil told us.
I feel like some of the language used was a little obscure at times which made the book feel less serious. It's fitting for the tone of the book but sometimes interrupted the flow of reading. I had a harder time separating the characters as I feel like they had similar character voices and humor. I particularly liked the way Vic's introductory chapter as I feel like it gave me a good sense of his character, motivations, and flaws. I think the story could have benefited from a little more showing and less telling, but it still managed to deliver the plot in a fun and unpredictable way, and weave the characters together in an interesting manner. The whole premise was a fun concept with a heartfelt message woven into a ludicrous adventure.
Overall, I applaud Phil for the dedication and effort put into completing a quality novella. I am also grateful that the novella is available to read through Kindle Unlimited. Congratulations on your accomplishment, Phil, and I'm excited to see what other stories you bring to us in the future!

I started watching Phil awhile ago on YouTube because it was cool to see a “sports bro” talking about books. I haven’t seen all his videos but every now and then one comes up on my feed and I watch a part of it. When I saw he wrote and was selling a novella, I thought that was pretty cool, and I wanted to read it. I could have gotten this for free through Amazon but decided to pay for it anyway to support him and I’m glad that I did.
Honestly, by my personal grading scale, this is probably 3 stars but I gave it an extra since it showed a really good baseline. It had problems, the “pacing” felt weird at places, like conversations felt sped up and bare bones. There wasn’t a lot of elaboration and was a lot of one sentence question and answer or comment then reply. Overall though it was an interesting story and was comical at parts (some that caused either positive or negative eye rolls) and was a good experience all the way from start to finish. I would be extremely proud if I was able to churn this out self published and I think it deserves that extra star just for that. Bravo Phil.

The average Joe Schmoe and the blob with an absolutely bodacious booty. The duo you didn't know you needed.
Although goofy in tone, this book handles deeper themes of relationship pressures, dealing with life altering experiences, and the struggle of just feeling "average". Which is something that I feel isn't talked about enough or is often glazed over. This overwhelming and debilitating feeling of averageness. In a world where you can pick up the small computer in your pocket and see hundreds of hours of news articles, videos, and edits of people doing incredible things, its hard not to feel inadequate.
Even with those themes, this weird ass novella is above all, just straight up FUN. Pure stupid fun in the best way. Lines that make you chuckle, like Charles being cheeked up for no reason.
I've been a subscriber of Phil's for a while now, and have been waiting for this book. Happy to say it didn't disappoint. Thanks Phil!

Restarting follows Joe Schmoe, who is harassed by a floating blob, Charles, and told he has to overcome his life's obstacle or he will face termination. He only has one week, and 5 restarts (jump back to any point in the day) to figure out what his life mission, and do his darndest to overcome it.
This book at its utmost is incredibly fun, pretty fast paced and quite a page turner. I read it through in two days but could easily have done it in one sitting had I dedicated a few hours in one go. It's pretty funny, and I enjoyed the characters along the way. The ending was pretty silly, takes after Mr.Phil quite well.
4/5
That's the short of it, go check out the long of it with the video review! :)

I can’t justify anything less than 5/5 for this. This story was incredibly fun and entertaining, wickedly fast paced, and did an excellent job of drawing you in to the characters in such a short page count.
Is this story perfect? No, but neither was Kevon Looney in 2016. He didn’t need to be Steph, and this novella doesn’t need to be a literary masterpiece to be an excellent reading experience.
I can’t recommend this enough to anyone looking for an incredibly enjoyable, entertaining, short read that’ll keep a smile on your face and get you thinking about your own Life’s Obstacles and how you can better overcome them.

I have to give Phil 5 stars for this first novella. It’s a fast, genuinely funny read—I laughed out loud multiple times, which is rare for me. The humor really lands thanks to sharp dialogue, absurd situations, and a bit of self-deprecating tone, all with great timing.
Abby and Joe’s dynamic especially stood out—their conversations flow naturally and carry a lot of the book’s charm.
The shorter format works perfectly here; it’s the kind of story I could easily revisit between heavier reads.
The characters are all likable, though their voices can blur together at times. Still, as a debut, this is seriously impressive.

Great book my only complaint that there was more of it!
The main character Joe is likeable and you can see yourself acting like him if you were thrown into this story. He isn't perfect, a little awkward ,but he's trying his best.
there's multiple points of view by the way and the other characters are well written and lovable too.
The book is funny and light hearted and does not take it self too seriously. Chapters are short and punchy and the main gimmick of restarting the day is done well.
Looking forward to more of Phil's books!

3.75 ⭐ I've followed Phil Got Books on YouTube for some time now and appreciate his videos because they always make me laugh so when I saw he wrote a novella I knew I had to read it. After reading a pretty heavy book I needed a palate cleanser and thought this would be the perfect choice and it didn't disappoint. This was a fun and quirky ride. The banter between characters was great and had me giggling many times. Would recommend this one to anyone who likes humor, a little sci fi and just a great time.
April 30, 2026
So, overall 3.5 stars. I probably would of rated it 4.5 stars if it didn't have specific things I don't care to read about like COVID/pandemic, mansplaining, etc. I am just one who prefers not to read that stuff. I also thought there were way too many POVs. I can handle a few but this had so many it overwhelmed me.
The story itself was fun. Loved how things in the beginning popped up at the end and tied it all together. I enjoyed the banter, fun sports references and funny shenanigans throughout the story. Good first time novel.

I am a very big fan of the author of this small yet fine novella as he is a famous book YouTuber who makes great videos about books for guys, so i definitely recommend watching @philgotbooks. This is his first book he’s written and it’s honestly surprised me how engaging and funny the reading experience was, with hilarious moments and brilliant characters that all connected in some way.
The humour was a lot like the humour and the way he talks in his videos so I did indeed chuckle a few times which I’ve never done with any book to be completely honest with you.
Overall 4.18/5

First of all, shout out to Diet Coke. What would we all do without you? Congrats Phil! I appreciate all of the personal touches put in. This was a fun read & actually made me laugh out loud. It did get me out of a creeping slump. The tone is silly & straight up weird but with sincere themes of identity. I liked the different POV’s & how they meshed together but I think each character needed to differentiate from each other a bit more. This didn’t diminish my experience with the book at all. I liked the ending & I will certainly read a sequel if it were to come in the future.
April 23, 2026
It was fun, fast paced, and creative throughout! I really enjoyed the characters and their interactions!
The irony and connections between different comedic bits was very entertaining as well! It was great how Phil’s voice was in each character’s dialogue and narration, it really felt like Phil wrote it!
I would say Phil achieved his goal! I was giggling the whole time and if it were up to me I would award Phil with the “Pulitzer Prize for Giggles”!!
Keep doing what you’re doing Phil! I loved the book and I love your YouTube videos!!!

Probably the only time I will actually physically type a review on here but gotta do it for man like Phil! Much like Joe Schmoe this book is by no means perfect. But did I have a good time reading it, fuck yeah I did. It was well paced, funny and above all it had heart. If you’re looking for a quick and fun palate cleanser between books, or something to get you out of a reading slump then look no further.

This was my first comedy book I’ve read. As a huge comedy fan with movies, I always thought I wouldn’t find comedy books as funny but this book proved me wrong! This book has a great story and was a blast to read! It shocking how this is the authors first book and I hope to read more of his work in the future! I will definitely recommend this to friends and now start looking into reading more comedy books!
April 25, 2026
A super quick paced read that I read in one sitting. Now, I am a little biased as I have watched Phil's YouTube videos for a year-ish. Still, this is simply a very entertaining and gripping story that I would recommend to anyone. Phil manages to mix comedy with some truly deep lines in this as well.
Oh and can't forget, shoutout Kevon Looney, a vital part to the Warriors dynasty.

Darrow, Carl, Vis & now Joe.
Don’t get me wrong - this book was written on a 14th grade (frat bro) reading level by a bro for bros, but it worked! I went in simply to support one of my favorite content creators, and ended up enjoying the story and humor!
Give it a shot, it’s a super quick and easy read. Keep it up, Phil!

Wow, this is everything it wanted to be. Written by Phil got books, I knew the vibes this book would give an usually i am a reader of slow burn literary fiction, but I really enjoyed this book, especially for a debut work. The humour actually lands and the overall vibe is very fun. The story line and characters, yep they hit the relatable mark. Overall, 100% recommended.
May 1, 2026
Unbelievable with all of the feelings!
Probably the first author I follow on YouTube since last year and found they wrote a book. I have to say I was not expecting to laugh, Get annoyed with Joe, but felt better once he restarted right! Lol absolutely loved this and if Phil got books published another I’ll be next in line!

Quick, hilarious, crazy story from Phil Got Books! I wasn’t sure exactly what I was getting into, but with 179 pages, I figured I would give it a shot. I thoroughly enjoyed this wild ride of a story! This book made me laugh out loud several times and I couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen next.

Great debut from PHIL GO BOOKS!
What a fun book with hilarious dialogue. This had me laughing throughout and had a curveball moment towards the end that I couldn’t have predicted. Highly recommend and can’t wait for more!

I finished this book in less than 24 hours! It’s a quick read, extremely entertaining, and yes, I had actually ‘lol’ moments I didn’t expect myself to have. For stepping out of my comfort zone in genres, I was not disappointed!

A funny and goofy read
A decent first effort. Has some John Dies At the End vibes. I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would. The beginning is a little rough with the character back story info dumps, but once it gets past that, it was quite enjoyable.

Reas this in between bigger books. I needed a short fun read after the crazy deep stuff I’d been reading. This was fun. It isn’t perfect but it’s definitely a light fun read.
