Product Description
Life doesn't have a rewind button. Ever wished it did? Flora's wish is about to come true, in a magical new novel about the ultimate second chance, from the bestselling author of WORKING WONDERS and AMANDA'S WEDDING. As her best friend Tashy cuts into her wedding cake, 32-year-old Flora realises she is disillusioned with life. Suddenly, her well-paid job, cosy flat and stable relationship with sensible Olly don't amount to a whole lot. Flora wants to be 16 again. She closes her eyes and wishes. Her wish has come true. Waking up the next morning is a shock. But now Flora has the chance to right some wrongs. Trading crows feet for pimples, love handles for a torso Britney Spears would kill for and dull dinner parties for house parties where White Lightning and snogging are the order of the day, Flora revels in a life where things are far less complicated and just much more...FUN. It's not all laughs though. Will what she does change the future? How can she get back to the present and her ordinary life? And does she even want to?

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant and Brilliant Again, 21 Jun 2004
By A Customer
This is one of the best books ever!!!!
A fantastic laugh out loud book. I wish I could wipe it from my memory and read it again and again so that I can experience it afresh every time. Really it had me in splits and even now remembering reading it, I get a huge grin on my face.

Now this is my yard stick, any guy I want to spend the rest of my life with has to read and enjoy this book as much as me..

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the funnest books I have read, 6 Jul 2004
By Ms. D. M. Wornham "dmwickham" (Kent) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I read another of Jenny Colgans books - Working Wonders - and I wasn't too impressed. But reading the description of this one I thought I would give it a try. I am so glad I did. It was fantastic. It was funny the whole way through. It did get a bit confusing at the beginning when you try and work out where / what time she is in. But her thoughts on being a 16 year old brings back lots of memories. Unlike other nostalgia books, she is actually living the past rather then re-telling it. It was a very lovely book, and easy read, a good beach buy. I would recommend this to everyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars FUN FUN AND FUN AGAIN, 27 Aug 2004
A laugh out loud, comical, emotional book. I LOVED it. Haven't we all wished we could go back and do things differently? Well Jenny Colgan made our wishes come true. Very well written, to an extent that one would actually believe that this thing could happen if you wish it to. This book touched me deeply.
