Tender father/daughter story with a twist. I’m not sure I would want to go back to my 16th birthday but if it meant revisiting time with my dad knowing what I know now, I think I would do it in a heartbeat. It would mean the world to ask him questions and really connect in a way that didn’t take for granted a lifetime to come.
How do we know when our life is on the right track? What would we do differently if given the chance? And what are the subsequent shifts that would occur? Well done time travel book and really it felt like the time travel was secondary to the relationship between Al and Lenny (and her bff Sam). As someone who spent a good amount of time since the late 80s in NYC, it was fun to catch the details of now and the 90s.
