a tear-jerker about a father/daughter relationship that makes you appreciate your loved ones, the small moments, and the ability to trust in yourself. i liked the sentiment behind the story but ultimately didn't feel like i was in the right mood to read something like this. i was able to appreciate the message but didn't feel like it hit me as hard as it maybe would have if i had been in the right space/mood for it mentally.

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.

A beautiful contemporary with accessible time-travel elements. Centers mainly on a woman in her 40’s in NYC, navigating her life and the choices she’s made and what life she wants to live.
Those that liked midnight library will like this, but I think this one is better.
