When I saw this book being mentioned on tiktok and that person saying it’s a bit like the movie “13 going on 30” with Jennifer Garner I was sold.

That movie with Mark Ruffalo in it, yes. Just… yes. This book has been on my tbr for about 5 months? Which in hindsight is way to long because I wish I’d read it earlier.

My opinion? Have you seen the movie BIG with Tom Hanks? Or the movie 13 going on 30 with Jennifer Garner? This book is a mix of those! Loved every page, really L. O. V. E. D.

Lucy is a 26-year-old that has been working as a runner for a TV production company, but finally had the promotion she has been waiting for only to be told she’ll be a runner as long as the new one is up to par.

With no money to her name and living in a damp flat with four flat mates with always being out of loo roll; having the girlfriend of one of the flat mates over way too much and using the bathtub for weird things like soaking a whole carcass for bone broth, Lucy is done. Done with her shitty live, stupid dates but most of all, having no money and nothing to go for.

On one disastrous evening when everything goes wrong, Lucy walks home from a pub, in the rain when a message from the LondonLove app comes through of a Dave, inviting her for a drink. When the drink turns into something Lucy doesn’t want, she runs in the vicinity of home but stops at a convenience store from the rain that keeps pelting down, that’s where she sees this wishing machine and a lovely Scottish sounding lady gives her a coin to use.

Her wish? Skip to the good part of my life.

Waking up the next morning, seeing way to extravagant curtains, she realizes she’s not in her flat. A man next to her? Surely, she didn’t hook up with someone? When she sneaks into the bathroom and looks in the mirror, she can’t believe what she sees… Her face, but older… The elasticity from her skin lacking. Her breasts are hanging lower and have stripes on them, like they’ve been stretched too far and then deflated…

Her husband (!!) takes her to see a doctor who tells her she has amnesia and explains that the memories can come back but that isn’t a given. Lucy tries to soldier on, tries to fit this new narrative. This new live she can’t remember living. She has children?! Is the Co-owner of a TV studio?! What in the world? When she learns about a pitch off deadline between her company and that of her nemesis, the co-founder of her company wants to know what the big idea was that she was talking about; shocker, she can’t remember. She has very little time to come up with the most perfect idea for a TV show, but somehow, she is lacking.

Will she find her way in this new live? A way to become parent and wife and juggling her dream job or will she have imposter syndrome; where she wants to go back in time and hope that her future will turn out the way it did but with her best friend still alive.

I’m giving this book a solid ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars; loved it from beginning till the end.
