Summary
If you could turn back time, would you choose a different life?
Forty-something Maggie is facing some hard truths. Her only child has flown the nest for university, and without her daughter in the house, she's realising her life, and her marriage to Dan, is more than a little stale.
When she spots an announcement on Facebook about a uni reunion, she can't help wondering what happened to Jude Hanson. The same night Dan proposed, Jude asked Maggie to run away with him, and she starts to wonder how different her life might have been if she'd broken Dan's heart and taken Jude up on his offer.
Wondering turns into fantasising, and then one morning fantasising turns into reality. Maggie wakes up and discovers she's back in 1992 and 21 again. Is she brave enough to choose the future she really wants, and if she is, will the grass be any greener on the other side of the fence?
Two men. Two very different possible futures. But is there only once chance at happiness?
Perfect for fans of One Day, The Versions of Us and Miss You.

Intelligent and entertaining
I loved this book. It's for anyone who has ever wondered about the 'what ifs' in life.
It's intelligent, well written and well thought out. Great concept and great listen!
Highly recommended.

A good book made great by an excellent narrator
I'm not normally into romance novels, but this one stood out because it's not your everyday love story. it didn't disappoint. I would recommend to anyone who like me, always listens to the sample first, to see if you can tolerate the narrators voice! a friend recommended the paperback to me, so I thought I'd give it a go, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Would definitely go back and look for other books narrated by the same person. I know it seems daft, but if you're someone that likes to listen to audiobooks, the quality of the performance is very important.
