This is definitely a reflective book. It made me think about my own life and what I might do if I went back to a certain time/place. Overall, a pleasant read, though I did find there was some inconsistencies and some parts dragged. It touches on love, grief, hope and family. It was fun at the same time as being thoughtful. I did feel the ending didn't sit quite right with the overall story, at least for me.

This was a pretty special story. It was so relatable. I mean, who really knows what they want from life; what they would do if they could try again? I think, however, our main character, Alice, learns what truly has meaning in her life through trial and error. It was a touching and thoughtful story. Would totally read it again!
Fun fact: the author's father is Peter Staub.
