Adulting is hard. Lucy is 26 and her life isn’t what she’d hoped. She feels like she’s not making progress at work, her room in the flat she shares has water leaking from the tenant above. Her best friend is moving out, and she’s tired of the guys she’s meeting. While stuck walking home in the rain she enters a shop and finds an old wishing machine. She makes a wish to skip ahead to the good part of her life.

She wakes up the next morning in a strange room, in bed with a strange man. A hot man, but still a stranger. She has kids and a great job. But she can’t remember what happened during the 16 years that are missing. She comes to appreciate the things in this new life and that she’s ended up where she wanted in life� but she feels like she’s missed a lot. She missed falling in love with this amazing guy, giving birth to her babies� but she’s also missed some heartache.

Can she find her way back to her previous life? And as she falls more in love with her family, does she want to risk going back in life? This is really a very sweet and fun story. Lucy is a great character, but there are other supporting characters. She forms very sweet relationship with her son, who first accuses her of being an alien mom. This is my 2nd book by the author and I’ll definitely read more.

Taufiq Yves 'Adulting is hard' - preach! That's the perfect way to start this review. Sounds like Lucy's struggles are super relatable.

Jayme I read my first Sophie Cousens � Is She Really Going Out With Him� and added this to my TBR immediately after! Terrific review! 💞
