Written by Emma Straub
Alice Stern isn't ready to turn forty. She thought she'd have more time to figure it all out—her relationship, her job, her life. Above all, she thought she'd have more time with her father, Leonard Stern, and eccentric novelist whose single bestseller set the pair of them up for life—but he's lying in a hospital bed and Alice isn't sure if she'll hear his voice again.
When she falls asleep outside their old apartment on the night before her fortieth birthday, she's surprised to be greeted the next morning by a much younger Leonard, with a sixteenth birthday card for a teenage Alice who, far from clinging to her youth, is hurtling towards adulthood... Alice soon discovers how she got back here, and realises she can keep on coming. But faced each time with different versions of her life, it's on her not to lose sight of what she wants most...
