What if you could go back and make the choice you’ve regretted for twenty-seven years?

On her fiftieth birthday, Lorrie Ellsworth makes the same wish she’s made every year since 1985.
Let me do it over.

Then she wakes up in 1984, twenty-three years old again, with thirteen days until the night that changed everything. Thirteen days until Paul Ellsworth is supposed to propose. Thirteen days until Lorrie is supposed to say yes. And thirteen days to find out whether Dean Wyatt, the record-store owner she never quite forgot, really was the love of her life.

Suddenly Lorrie has everything she thought she wanted. Her youth, her parents alive again, Side A Records, and Dean looking at her the way she spent nearly three decades remembering.
But 1984 isn’t exactly the way nostalgia preserved it. Paul has secrets. So does his family. Dean has dreams that might take him far from Madison. And as Lorrie’s memories of the future begin to fade, the children she loves more than anything become harder and harder to hold on to.

She came back believing she’d made the wrong choice. Now she has thirteen days to decide whether the greatest regret of her life was choosing the wrong man… or never truly choosing for herself at all.

A nostalgic, emotional time-slip romance about first loves, second chances, the lives we almost lived, and what we’d risk for the chance to choose again.
