Plot
What if there as a memo that told you what you needed to do with your life? And then, what if you literally didn't get the memo?!? That' the premise of this one. Jenny's 15 year college reunion is on the horizon, and life is nothing like what she hoped it would be. Then, she finds out that this could be because she didn't seize the opportunity to get her memo way back in college. The good news is she has a second chance, and she takes it. What follows is some time travel to decide what she wants to change, as well as to consider what she wants to keep the same. I will say that I really wanted even more about Jenny. Because she was (literally) travelling through time, that was much of the focus, but particularly at the end, I wanted more of her present-day self because I was rooting for her to figure things out, and I wanted to know how it all worked out. But overall, this was an unique spin on the Groundhog Day inspired subgenre I do love so. Thanks to NetGalley for the early look at this June 2024 release!
