Summary:
Alice's 40th year is not going as planned. Sure, she's mostly happy. Her job is comfortable and her friends are steadfast. Her father, her true rock for the last forty years, is not doing so hot. His health is failing and Alice is dreading their final goodbye.
One day, Alice finds herself walking up in her own body on her 16th birthday. Her friends are there and so is her father, looking youthful and happy!
Review:
A wonderful speculative tale about time travel and love. Those is not a romance but instead a story about parental love and love between friends. It is also a story about grieving and regret so possible tearjerker for some readers!
Recommended for readers that also enjoyed: "The Midnight Library" by Matt Haig and "Oona Out of Order" by Margarita Montimore.
