Her birthday should be like any other night.
One minute Kelly’s a free-spirited artist in Chicago going to her best friend’s art show. The next, she opens a door and mysteriously emerges in her Michigan hometown. Suddenly her life is unrecognizable: She's got twelve years of the wrong memories in her head and she's married to Eric, a man she barely knew in high school.
Racing to get back to her old life, Kelly's search leads only to more questions. In this life, she loves Eric and wants to trust him, but everything she discovers about him—including a connection to a mysterious tech startup—tells her she shouldn't. And strange things keep happening. The tattoos she had when she was an artist briefly reappear on her skin, she remembers fights with Eric that he says never happened, and her relationships with loved ones both new and familiar seem to change without warning.
But the closer Kelly gets to putting the pieces together, the more her reality seems to shift. And if she can't figure out what happened on her birthday, the next change could cost her everything...

This book blew my mind. While the premise felt like a version of Sliding Doors or The Family Man…. It’s that and much more than you could even imagine. The twists and turns had my second guessing every time I thought I had figured it out. I ran the gamut of brain bending intrigue, to affronted indignation, to fist pumping when the heroine takes control and chooses her destiny.
Kelly is celebrating her 29th birthday in Chicago, at her best friend’s gallery showing. After some champagne, she’s not feeling well and the next thing she knows, she is back in her hometown in Michigan. At her favorite restaurant, celebrating her birthday…. With her husband, Eric. She remembers Eric, they were friends in school, nothing more. But now she feels out of touch as she has memories of both timelines. The one where she started dating Eric in high school and the one where she went to Art School instead. Two very different timelines of events.
Now Kelly is in a race to figure out which timeline (Chicago Kelly or Michigan Kelly) was the real one and how to get back to it.
I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough to figure out which was real and which wasn’t. The outcome is conclusive and amazing. Thank you to Netgalley and Berkley Publishing for the opportunity to read this.
