Very funny, I was laughing out load in parts and smirking throughout. Performance by Olivia Coleman was incredible. Would highly recommend listening to this one.

This unique take on the idea of time travel is a fascinating read. Given the chance to live your adult life over again, would you try and do everything exactly the same as first time round? This is the question that Kate has to grapple with when she wakes one day, 9 months after the death of her husband to find herself 18 again.
I really enjoyed the first novel from Robert Webb, it’s definitely one I’d recommend to fans of authors such as Marian Keyes.

This book is split into three parts that are all incredibly different from each other.
Part one is incredibly sad and dark, and almost caused me to DNF by the end of it. I am glad I pushed through, however. It is nothing like the summary, and almost feels like the book got published with the wrong cover. I would give this section a 1/5.
Part two is a lot more lighthearted and cheerful, and actually covers the summary. This part is definitely fun, though sad at times. 4/5
Part three is entirely different again in tone. P1 is depressingly realistic and grounded, P2 is a lot more lighthearted, and P3 is almost an indulgent fantasy with how far the plot veers off the rails. 4/5 in enjoyment factor, however.
All in all, this book is all over the place, and don't trust the summary as the book inside is almost entirely different

This wasn't as good as I'd expected it to be. It only started to get good 80 pages in when Kate travelled back in time to her uni days. The fact that she'd do that was mentioned on the blurb, I didn't think I'd have to read so much to get there. Moreover, there were almost two story lines to this, I would have preferred a focus on just one. The last half was much better than the first half though so an average 3 stars!
