Joey Vasquez has built a life that looks successful on paper, but her feelings for longtime friend Elijah remain unresolved. After dying at a dinner party, she gets another chance at life at eighteen—the year she first met Elijah and Alex, someone she had long disliked. Carrying memories from her first life, Joey returns determined to win Elijah’s love, only to find her feelings toward Alex shifting. The setup brings second-chance romance together with a question about how much the past can guide choices when the same people and formative years come around again.

Book overview

An INSTANT USA TODAY Bestseller!

For fans of The Love of My Afterlife and The Seven Year Slip, Reese's Book Club LitUp Fellow Natalie Messier's heartfelt contemporary romance debut follows a woman who gets a second chance at a formative time in her adult life--this time to win the "one that got away."

Joey Vasquez's life is the definition of good on paper. At thirty-two, she's a lawyer on the cusp of making partner, she owns her house in Los Angeles, and she almost keeps pace with her doctor sister in her parents' eyes.

When she reluctantly arrives at the very couple-y dinner party hosted by Elijah Aarons, the best friend she's secretly pined after for fourteen years, she's dismayed to find that the last person on earth she'd ever want to see again is also there: Alex Aquino. Your basic rich Silicon Beach bro asshole. The night couldn't possibly get worse--and then she dies.

When Joey is given a second chance at life, she finds herself eighteen again, the year she first met both Elijah and Alex. Armed with memories from her first life, Joey is certain she's come back to finally convince the one man she ever loved to love her back--so why does she find herself strangely drawn to the man she thought she hated?
