tender tale of time travel. Straub strips back the layers to reveal
what's important' STYLIST, 'BOOK OF THE WEEK' ________ If you could
go back, would you do things differently? Alice Stern isn't ready
to turn forty. She thought she'd have more time to figure it all
out. Above all, she thought she'd have more time with her father,
Leonard - but he's lying in a hospital bed and Alice isn't sure if
she'll hear his voice again. When she falls asleep outside their
old apartment on the night before her birthday, she's surprised to
be greeted the next morning by a much younger Leonard, with a
sixteenth birthday card for a teenage Alice who, far from clinging
to her youth, is hurtling towards adulthood . . . Alice soon
discovers how she got back here, to 1996 and her sixteenth
birthday, and realises she can keep on coming, whenever she
chooses. But faced each time with different versions of her life,
and the consequences of her decisions, it's on her not to lose
sight of what she wants most . . . ________ With her celebrated
humour, insight, and heart, Emma Straub cleverly turns all the
traditional time travel tropes on their head and delivers a
different kind of love story - about the lifelong, reverberating
relationship between a parent and child. 'An excellent
time-travelling novel about adolescence and second chances from the
always brilliant Emma Straub' METRO 'Clever, complex and really
rather lovely' BEST 'Magical, heart-warming and insightful . . .

what you have' ELLE 'Full of deftly managed plot twists, it's both
fun and poignant' MAIL ON SUNDAY 'Literary sunshine' New York Times
on All Adults Here 'A gorgeous and witty storyteller' Liane
Moriarty 'A master of the domestic ensemble drama' Time
