Life, rewound...Nearly twenty years ago, Sam Leto left her small hometown of Tybee Island, Georgia, to pursue her wanderlust dreams of becoming a pilot. And while she'd prefer to keep flying away from her painful childhood memories, her beloved grandmother Pearl decides it's time to sell the family home. Reluctantly, Sam is summoned back to pack up the house.The 2000s nostalgia from Sam's childhood bedroom hits immediately: Fall Out Boy posters, drawers of roll-on body glitter, and even her favorite CD player with a mixtape from her best friend, Damon Rocha. Damon was always a safe place and Sam has often wondered what if her teenaged self had admitted her feelings for him instead of turning him down in fear of ruining their friendship, though of course that happened anyway. Sam is deep in her emo-feels when she discovers the CD player still works all these years later. But it holds more than the memories of her favorite music--the CD player has the power to show Sam an alternate version of her life.Song by song, Sam receives flashbacks from her past--senior prom, graduation, leaving home. But the memories aren't as she remembers them. They show an alternate life. What could have been. Suddenly, Sam knows exactly how everything would have worked out if she'd taken a chance with Damon--and she can't help but wonder if she made a terrible mistake leaving Tybee all those years ago."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
