In this irresistible debut novel, a freak accident allows a wife and mother to explore the alluring road not taken.

Meet Abbey Lahey...

Overworked mom. Underappreciated publicist. Frazzled wife of an out-of-work landscaper. A woman desperately in need of a vacation from life - and who is about to get one, thanks to an unexpected tumble down a Nordstrom escalator.

Meet Abbey van Holt...

The woman whose life Abbey suddenly finds herself inhabiting when she wakes up. Married to handsome congressional candidate Alex van Holt. Living in a lavish penthouse. Wearing ball gowns and being feted by the creme of Philadelphia society. Luxuriating in the kind of 14-karat lifestyle she's only read about in the pages of Town & Country. The woman Abbey might have been...if she had said yes to a date with Alex van Holt all those years ago.

In the tradition of the romantic comedy Sliding Doors and Lionel Shriver's The Post-Birthday World, Leigh Himes's irresistible debut novel tells the funny and touching story of an ordinary woman offered an extraordinary opportunity to reboot her life, explore the road not taken, and ultimately, find her true self - whoever that may be.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Himes takes an intriguing look at how a simple yes could change a person's entire life...the effort is a rewarding investigation of how all that glitters may not be gold." ( Library Journal)
"An enchanting novel about the choices we make in life and love - by turns hilarious, poignant, and nostalgic. Himes's novel will make you revisit all the 'what ifs' you've ever contemplated, from fleeting encounters to almost-weddings...a lively debut that will strike a chord in anyone with a romantic past." (Nicholas Sparks, author of The Notebook and See Me)
"In the spirit of Lionel Shriver's The Post-Birthday World, Leigh Himes delivers a fascinating novel about the road not taken. I loved the concept and execution of this clever, thought-provoking love story." (Elin Hilderbrand, author of The Rumor)

It was interesting fluff and kept my attention, but was exactly what you expected--I was hoping for more originality in the story.

Not bad

Loved. It seems that so many of us suffer from "the-grass-is-always-greener" syndrome instead of appreciating what we already have. This book really put the reality of that into perspective. It left me feeling happy and grateful for the life I have, quieting the what-ifs and should-haves in my mind.

Great twist

I really enjoyed this book. The narrator was also excellent and achieved a natural bridge between the author and listener. I think this might be a determining factor in why I loved the book because I never could quite put my finger on why it struck me as so outstanding: however, I must also say I loved the ending, especially with the little surprise twist! Overall, I simply liked this book and didn't want to part company! I will be looking forward to hearing more from this author.

This book is great for an easy listen if you are looking for quirky chick lit.
The story line was entertaining. My only complaint is that it drug on in places and could've been shorter.

Chick lit fulfilled

I looked at this book a couple of times before I went ahead and bought it. I’m so glad I did, it was a great story! I’m surprised it’s the author’s first book, she writes very well. I liked the narrator too. Highly recommended!

story was good, but not sure if I believed that the "troubles" were all that bad. but still a very cute story about realizing how great you already have it.

very cute.

Thoroughly enjoyed the novel. Had a great flow and loved all the characters. Great representation of Philly, The Main Line, and DelCo. Hope they make a film of it someday!

Wonderful Novel. Great Philly setting.

Though the story line is not a new idea, the tale was extremely enjoyable. Loved the characters, loved the idea, loved the narrator, loved the writing style - and loved the reminder that the grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence!

Perfect beach read!

Pleasant surprise! This book is a lot more than the usual romance plot. Impressed by the depth of characters and storyline. Great performance by Kristin Kalbli.

Not the average romance novel.
