Twenty-something Lucy is going through it! She is slugging through work, trying to get a promotion, and living with inconsiderate roommates. She makes a wish to skip to the βgood partβ of her life, and wakes up sixteen years later with no memory of what happened in between. All of a sudden, she has the life of her dreams: a gorgeous husband, two children, and a dream job. The problem is that she doesnβt know anything about her new life or being a wife and a mom!
This book was so thought-provoking! Lucy is constantly debating whether, if given the choice, she would rather stay in this perfect life without her memories or return to her younger self, hoping it would all work out the same. Lucyβs adventures re-learning her new life were hilarious! I absolutely loved her son, Felix, who is really the only one who believes Lucyβs story. Lucyβs struggles as she learned how to be a mom were so relatable. There are some romantic moments, but it was really more of Lucyβs story. I definitely recommend this one!
