It's rare to find a romcom by a lesser-known author that features time travel and captures such a wide range of emotions across various stages of life. Actually, it might not just be rare—it's practically unheard of. Incredible. This book captured SO much and managed to do so at a balanced pace with appropriate doses of wit and humor. The more I think about it, the more I realize how much this is worthy of a full five stars. Sophia Cousens, I am thoroughly impressed! Looking forward to the next one from you!

I loved this book through and through. I’m a fan of Sophie Cousens and this might be the best book I’ve read from her. Wonderful characters and very reflective.

I has this arc on my TBR way too long.
I had a little moment where I requested a few too many arcs and now I’m catching up.


I started this fr fr yesterday and I’m
In bliss!!!!!!
Time travel/what if/time loop + endearing, funny and smart writing. It’s so lovely how many variations I’ve read on this trope.

I remember being fascinated with the movie sliding doors in the 90s? As well as Wrinkle in Time as a kid. I am sure this had some influence of my love of romantic heart felt time travel.



Lucy feels disappointed with the pacing of her life. She works and doesn’t get ahead, she has had bad dates and reached her limit after eating a croissant out of a rubbish bin both pencil shavings still on it.

After a bad date she comes across a wishing machine and wishes to be TAKEN TO THE GOOD PART.
Right away the audience is like okkk Luc that’s now how life works but we know people have to figure out life and lessons on their own

However she walks up next to a handsome man and 2 kids and her dream job AND no memories of the last 16 years.

The last thing she remember is the wishing machine.

What happens when you skip to the good part?


Dreamy story. First time read by the author which is kind of sacrilegious for this genre and I will
Be adding all other other novels to my tbr.

I highly suggest if you are looking for something fun with periods of heavy moments

It’s not technically a romcom

It’s more of a heartfelt character study romance dramedy
