First Love. Second Time Lucky.
All hell has broken loose in Kate Marsden’s life. Her husband has died, she’s lost her job and now she’s pushed the last of her friends away. Then one day, she wakes up in the wrong body – and the wrong year. She’s eighteen again and it’s her first day of university. Which means today’s the day she’ll meet Luke, her future husband, for the first time.
If they can fall in love again, Kate might just be able to save him second time around.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
No ordinary celebrity memoir, Robert Webb’s How Not To Be a Boy recounted his childhood through the prism of masculinity and identity—and our changing notions of those terms. His debut novel is equally original and thought-provoking. As the book begins, Kate is in her 40s, recently widowed and suffocating with grief. Overnight, she is somehow transported back almost three decades to the day she met her late husband during their university freshers week. Here, armed with knowing what is to come, she has the opportunity to shape the future and prevent his early death. That’s not as simple as it might sound, and Webb skilfully builds a plot that’s part-romance, part-comedy and part-thriller around Kate’s time-travelling escapades. His touching story is also very funny—particularly if you’re old enough to remember the ’90s—and it left us mulling over some new ideas about fate, destiny and how much knowledge is too much knowledge.
