Adam and Jules have been married over twenty years. They love each other, but they also feel pulled in different directions and they blame each other life’s disappoints. One night after a fight, Adam retreats to his shed to cool off. He pulls out some old mixtapes (yes, actual cassettes!) that he’d made for Jules earlier in their relationship. When he plays one of these old cassettes he’s transported back in time, into his younger self, with all the feelings he had for Jules on the day he gave her the tape.
He’s astounded, of course! He shares his experience with Jules and they take turns revisiting the past. They discover they can influence their past selves and each makes small and then larger “tweaks” to try to fix their current problems. Will they “fix” their relationship, or rupture their connection forever?
This was a fast-paced and sweet read about the twists and turns life takes, and how to hold on to what matters to you. The musical references will delight Gen X and elder millennial readers! Recommended to fans of Rainbow Rowell’s Landline or What Might Have Been by Holly Miller.
