Description
This love story doesn't follow the rules of time...
Jack and Sara fell in love in 1995 - two teenagers with stars in their eyes - sharing mixtapes, cheap fizzy pop, and a first kiss that felt like the whole world was theirs.
Decades later, their marriage is crumbling and their daughters are leaving home...and then a car crash changes everything.
Suddenly, they're sixteen again - back in their childhood bedrooms, posters on the walls, the sound of dial-up tones, sun-bleached summers, sleepovers, and the friends and family they never thought they'd see again. Their life together hasn't happened yet.
Is this a reminder of a spark that never really went away? Or proof that time can't always fix what's broken?
As Jack and Sara relive the days that made them, they'll discover whether first love really lasts - and what they'd risk to fall for each other all over again...
For fans of About Time, Matt Haig and Back to the Future, this is a 90s summer love story about first loves, second chances, and the days you wish you could relive forever.
