Publisher Description
“If you read just one book this year, read this one—a time-bending love story full of nostalgia and ‘what-ifs.’”—Sophie Cousens, New York Times bestselling author of Just Haven’t Met You Yet
“A grown-up love story that captures the beauty of not only finding your person but holding on to them. Throw in some time travel, great music, and ’90s nostalgia, and you have an unforgettable read.”—Laurie Gilmore, #1 New York Times bestselling author
Meet Adam and Jules.
Married for nearly twenty-five years and stuck in a rut, their future looks, well, boring.
Then Adam stumbles across a box of old mixtapes he and Jules made for each other when they were young and falling in love. He dusts off his vintage stereo, inserts one of the cassettes, presses “Play” …and the unbelievable happens.
With the power to travel back in time, Jules and Adam can recapture the headiness of falling in love. But they soon realize that visiting the past could be as dangerous as it is addictive, because the temptation to change just a few tiny things is irresistible.
As the consequences start to spiral out of control, can they find a way back to their messy and imperfect, yet glorious, real life? Or will they lose each other forever?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Husband and wife coauthors Lloyd (Miss Beeton's Murder Agency) and Rees (Wanted) deliver a stunning time travel romance that doubles as an insightful examination of the little decisions that shape a 25-year marriage. Caterer Jules Hole and her video game designer husband, Adam, are stuck. Their two 20-something kids have moved back into their messy home; Jules's business is hemorrhaging money; and Adam's career stalled long ago, when he went part-time to help raise the kids and his short-term financial concerns kept him from striking it big with his best friend Darius. All that changes when Adam discovers that playing the romantic mixtapes he and Jules used to make for each other sends the listener back to the time they first received them—and that changing things during these tape visits can lead to better lives in the present. The couple's success in fixing minor things (like a regrettable tattoo for Jules, or Adam's beard, which Jules always hated) lead them to attempt bigger and bigger manipulations—with potentially devastating consequences. Both protagonists are wonderfully complex, full of rage, regret, passion (often the frustrated kind), and a desperate desire to get things right this time. Funny, tender, bittersweet, and ultimately affirming, this is a showstopping tale about learning to embrace imperfection.
