I think it would be a slight over-statement to compare this book to The Time Traveller's Wife because it isn't exactly on the same literary and emotional level. But with regards to subject matter and topic, it definitely has very strong similarities. Whilst the cover portrays a fun, light, Maria Keyes-esque type book, it really does offer a lot more than that. It's a quirky yet serious novel about time travel, fate, free will and choice. How much choice do we really have over our lives? Would we make the same choices again if we could go back in time? And once you've made a choice, is there a way out of it? How much of our life is self-fulfilling prophecy?
It was great to read a chick lit (if you can call it that) with a bit more substance and heart. This book is certainly very different to anything I've read for a while so I would definitely recommend it.

I was told this book was a chick lit. So i settled down to enjoy a quick read about a woman reliving her teens, commenting on the eighties fashion and music and after a heartwarming moral at the end of the story, would return back to her normal thirty-something state.
I was wrong. This is a much deeper, philosophical story which proves that nothing is ever guaranteed. The aspects of time travel, however, were dealt with in a witty way, making the book less serious.
Overall, an interesting read. Very different to anything i've ever read. And the ending did have me in hysterics! Just dont let the cover fool you!

A good storyline with a strange ending. Definitley not what I was expecting. Can be easy to lose track of. Makes you think. A sequel would be interesting.

If I could turn back time...
I picked this book up on a whim - I'd never heard of the author, and being a lover of anything related to the 80s or 90s, I was prepared to give it a chance. Read more

one of my best 'whim' reads.
Fantastic read. Picked it up on a whim as it is set in the year i was born. I tried to predict various things throughout the book, however i never seemed to get things just right. Read more

What a great book. I borrowed it from the library as a last minute "want a light chick lit read" sort of borrow. I was wrong. It's so much better than that. Read more
