Alice is turning 40, her father is dying and she's re-evaluating her life and choices. She's not exactly unhappy, but is she happy? Suddenly she wakes up and is 16 again. Her father is healthy and vibrant and she's maybe got a chance to do it all over again. But does she want to?

I love a good time travel story. And I love a good New York story. This book melded the two together perfectly. I loved all the NY details and all the little 90s details (Jordan Catalano, Jenna Rink!). It was just so much fun for me. I could see if you weren't a teen in the 90s where many of the references might not make sense to you and won't hit that nostalgic chord for you.

I loved seeing the relationship between father and daughter and it made me really think about my relationship with my dad and also how I'm being perceived by my kids now.

There really wasn't much about this book I didn't like. It was an easy, breezy read and I felt good after reading it. All things that are positive for me. This would make a great beach read this summer!

Thanks @netgalley for the ARC!

Definitely a sweet read. Reminded me of the Midnight Library. And also a Hallmark movie. Plus time travel? Idk, it was a really sweet book and I think it made a point to say that it’s not a sci-fi lol. Feels a bit of literary fiction too.
Makes you wanna tell your parents you love them.

3.5⭐️
Solid read! The father daughter relationship was to die for (pun unintended) and I wish I saw more of it in other books. Also loved how the dad also time traveled and it was a cute moment when they talked about it. I love when authors write scenes in the way that readers would love and not in the way a writer is expected to write it so that made me happy.
The whole book surrounding her relationships with everyone in her life was beautiful, besides her dad second to me would be her best friend.
Ofc I didn’t like all the long paragraphs and you can bet your ass I skimmed them. She had a tendency to ramble on sometimes about random shit and I didn’t like that.
Loved the whole idea of your own mortality as well as your parents, it makes you reflect more within your own life so a slay. Made me want to call my parents and hug them more, which I think was kind of the point after reading the author’s acknowledgements.
Great book, dragged for the first third but then picked up.

Thanks brynnie for the rec
