What would you do if you had one more chance to get things right?
Lou feels like she is stuck on the wrong path: alone, in a city far from home, watching other people be happy. When the man she's in love with announces his engagement to someone else, Lou is consumed by what-ifs.
That's when she finds herself slipping back in time to a night two years ago, where one small decision changed everything ...
Suddenly, Lou has a chance to fix her mistakes. But as her choices lead her down roads she never could have imagined, she finds herself stuck in a time loop of her own making. And with each slip, Lou notices her life intersecting with one person
again and again. A friend of a friend who once lived on the periphery, who is slowly becoming the one person who makes her feel like she might finally be on the right track.
Lou is about to realize that our greatest love stories aren't always the ones we expected but are the ones we choose to fight for.

      Jost tugs at the heartstrings in her tearjerker debut. Lou’s life is at loose ends when she attends a friend-of-a-friend’s wake. She met the deceased, Nick, a handful of times but never really got to know him. Then—thanks to an unexplained time slip—Lou gets five chances to rewrite her relationship with Nick by returning to their first meeting, a chance encounter at a bar. In the first, teacher-in-training Lou and PE teacher Nick keep things strictly platonic—and Lou ends up right back where she started, grieving for Nick. Next time, the pair form a tighter bond. Then they become a couple but split up because of Lou’s premonitions of Nick’s cancer diagnosis. Then Lou makes sure Nick catches his diagnosis early on. With each successive reliving, Lou’s desperation to keep Nick alive and by her side increases, and readers will feel just as frantic for these two to get their happy ending. Anyone who has ever wished for a do-over will see themselves in Jost’s poignant tale of love lost and found. Agent: Liv Maidment, Madeleine Milburn.
