Rewind … because part of us will always be seventeen years old.

Karen Alexander lives in California and has it all: teenage children who allow her to be seen in public with them now and then, a successful architect husband who still kind of fits into his I Hate Maggie Thatcher T-shirt, and a teaching career she loves, especially in the school holidays. And she has Carol—her official Best Pal since their days of platform shoes, flicked-out hair, lip gloss shoplifted from Woolworths, Ally’s Tartan Army, and dancing to ABBA and "The Hustle" at the local disco.

Thirty-five years later, they worry more about a good foundation to cover the wrinkles, a reliable hairdresser to cover the grey, stylish but comfortable shoes, shapewear that gives them the semblance of a shape, and husbands who fall asleep on the couch.

Back in Scotland for a funeral and a cringe-worthy sixtieth birthday party, Karen runs into her teenage crush, Bobby Henderson, the former local punk rocker and all-round bad boy who broke Karen’s sixteen-year-old heart by not noticing her. When he walks into the party in his leather jacket and winks at her, Karen’s heart skips a beat like it was 1978. Is the first cut really the deepest? Has Karen spent the last thirty years with the wrong guy?

Can you rewind the tape of love, and if you can, should you?

A RECOMMENDED SERIES TO READ !!!!

Highlands Series Veronica Wolff Book 1- Master of the Highlands ★★★★ Lily Hamlin is making a pilgrimage to Scotland with hopes for some direction in her life. There she discovers an overgrown maze and a strange stone map-and lands back in time, in the Lochaber of 1654. Ewen, Chief of the Clan Cameron, must save his people from the brutal redcoats. But then he meets a saucy lass with a peculiar accent, no regard for his title-and an arousing body. Drawn to each other despite their differences, they both realize that they don't want her to go back to her own time. But with battles brewing, staying is a gamble.

Book 3- Warrior of the Highlands ★★★★ Haley Fitzpatrick is a student fascinated with weapons. When she comes across a gun that could possibly offer the opportunity to correct a historical inaccuracy, and become subject for her thesis, she is instantly obsessed.

Despite their mutual distrust for each other, they slowly develop a bond that grows into love. Unfortunately, Haley’s awareness of history and what happens to Alasdair, forces her to make a decision: intercept to change history or allow it to go the course already knowing what the outcome will be?
