About this item
Life, rewound…
Nearly twenty years ago, Sam Leto left her small hometown of Tybee Island, Georgia, to pursue her dreams of becoming a pilot. Despite her success, she prefers to keep flying away from the painful memories of her childhood. However, when her beloved grandmother Pearl decides to sell the family home, Sam is reluctantly summoned back to pack up the house.
As soon as Sam steps into her old bedroom, she is hit with a wave of 2000s nostalgia: Fall Out Boy posters, drawers full of roll-on body glitter, and her favorite CD player complete with a mixtape from her best friend, Damon Rocha. Damon was her safe haven, and Sam often wonders what might have happened if she had confessed her feelings for him back then.
Mysteriously, the CD player still works, and somehow it has the power to show Sam an alternate version of her life. Song by song, Sam experiences flashbacks from her past—senior prom, graduation, leaving home—but these memories aren’t as she recalls them. Instead, they reveal what could have been if she had taken a chance with Damon. As she watches these alternate memories, Sam begins to realize she might have made a terrible mistake leaving Tybee Island all those years ago.
"A perfectly in-tune love story that will be playing on repeat in my mind for a very long time." —Lauren Kung Jessen, author of Red String Theory and Lunar Love
"La Rosa shines at genuinely funny and feminist romantic tales, and I'll read every single one of them." —Amy Spalding, bestselling author of For Her Consideration
Will Sam find a way to rewrite her past and rekindle the love she left behind? Or will she discover that some things are best left in memories? ❤️📚❤️
