Have you ever wanted to rewrite your past? Three best friends, all with the same birthday, are about to turn forty. Celebrating at a summerhouse in Maine, Leslie Headrick, Madison Appleby, and Ellie Abbott are taking stock of their lives and loves, their wishes and choices. But none of them expect the gift that awaits them at the summerhouse: the chance for each of them to turn their "what-might-have-beens" into reality ... Leslie, a suburban wife and mother, follows the career of a boy who pursued her in college wonders: what if she had chosen differently? Madison dropped a modeling career to help her high school boyfriend recover from an accident, even though he'd jilted her. But what if she had said "no" when her old boyfriend had called? Ellie became a famous novelist, but a bitter divorce wiped out her earnings -- and shattered her belief in herself. Why had the "justice" system failed her? And could she prevent its happening the second time around? Now, a mysterious "Madame Zoya," offers each of them a chance to relive any three weeks from the past. Will the road not taken prove a better path? Each woman will have to decide for herself as she follows the dream that got away ... and each must choose the life that will truly satisfy the heart's deepest longings.

"Sighhhhh…. This was such a good book. I’d you had the chance to go back in time and change your life, would you? Ellie, Madison and Leslie met 19 years earlier at the DMV of all places. Each young girl on the brink of starting their lives but the nineteen years has left so many unfulfilled dreams and much heartache. As they come together to celebrate their 40 birthdays, they are given the chance to go back in time, for three weeks, to make different choices. <br/><br/>I LOVE time slip books but this one offers a chance to change the hearts in their lives and their destiny. What an interesting premise! I found my self so drawn in to the three ladies stories that I couldn’t put the book down. I seriously finished it in less then a day. <br/><br/>There is minimal spiciness in this book, which is good with me. There is some kissing and mentions of more but nothing explicit Read this book if you like time slip books, second chances and sighhhhh worthy romance."
