Description
“The pages brim with tenderness and an appreciation for what we had and who we were. I could not have loved it more."—Ann Patchett
“One of the most moving and intelligent time travel novels I have ever read. Nostalgic, wise, funny, and filled with love."—Gabrielle Zevin
“The kind of book that will make you laugh, make you cry, and make you call the people you love. Exceptional."—Emily Henry
What if you could take a vacation to your past?
With her celebrated humor, insight, and heart, beloved New York Times bestseller Emma Straub offers her own twist on traditional time travel tropes and a different kind of love story.
On the eve of her fortieth birthday, Alice’s life isn’t terrible. She likes her job, even if it isn’t exactly the one she expected. She’s happy with her apartment, her romantic status, and her independence, and she adores her lifelong best friend. But her father is ailing, and it feels to her as if something is missing. When she wakes up the next morning, she finds herself back in 1996, reliving her sixteenth birthday. But it isn’t just her adolescent body that shocks her, or seeing her high school crush—it’s her dad, the vital, charming, forty-something version of her father with whom she is reunited. Now armed with a new perspective on her own life and his, some past events take on new meaning. Is there anything that she would change if she could?

When I read the premise to this one, I immediately thought „new fave!“. Sadly, it wasn’t. I liked it well enough, but it had the potential to be SO MUCH MORE. It took me almost a year to finish it. Loved the father-daughter relationship in this, and I’m a sucker for time travel. I just wish it had grabbed and given me more.
The idea behind this story was great. I was always fascinated by time travel. The sheer idea of going back in time to when we were teenagers -what we could do! What we could change! However, the story was so anticlimactic. Nothing exciting happened. There was nothing thrilling or gripping about this story (in my opinion) and honestly, the author's style of storytelling wasn't my cup of tea either...
