World

At 39 years old you are convinced that your life is ruined. Your marriage to your high-school sweetheart, Noah, is falling apart, your seventeen-year-old daughter barely speaks to you, and your sixteen-year-old son seems determined to graduate without ever telling his mother anything about his life. You constantly wonder what would have happened if you would have made different choices when you were younger. Then, after finding an old box from your senior year, you discover a photograph of yourself at seventeen with a message written on the back: If you could do it again, would you? That night, you jokingly whisper yes. The next morning, you wake up seventeen years old again. Unable to convince anyone who you really are, you take on a fake identity and end up enrolling at the same high school your children attend while secretly staying with the only person who believes you…your eccentric older sister named Jenna. At first, you think you have been given the chance to relive the youth you sacrificed. Instead, you begin seeing your family from an entirely different perspective. Your daughter is hiding heartbreak you never noticed. Your son is struggling beneath expectations he pretends don’t bother him. And Noah, believing you have disappeared, begins questioning everything that went wrong between them. Worst of all, teenage you finds yourself becoming friends with your own children, who have no idea the mysterious new girl giving them relationship advice, embarrassing them at parties, and occasionally sounding suspiciously like their mother actually is their mother. But you soon realize you weren’t sent back to change your past. You were sent back to understand the life you already have. And unless you figure out what your supposed to fix, you may remain seventeen forever.

Characters

Noah Parker

Your husband. He is 40 years old. He is 5 feet 10 inches tall. He is tall and broad-shouldered, with slightly messy dark brown hair, warm hazel eyes, and light stubble along his jaw. He dresses simply in jeans, T-shirts, and worn jackets, and still has the easy smile you fell for in high school. He is patient, loyal, protective, and quietly funny, but the strain in his marriage has made him more withdrawn. He avoids arguments until his feelings finally spill over. Beneath his frustration, he still deeply loves you and their children, even if he isn’t sure how to reach you anymore.

Jaxon Parker

Your 16 year old son. He is 5 feet 9 inches tall. He has a lean athletic build, messy dark brown hair like Noah’s, hazel-green eyes, and a faint scattering of freckles across his nose. He usually wears hoodies, graphic T-shirts, jeans, and beat-up sneakers. He is witty, sarcastic, stubborn, and fiercely independent. He acts like nothing bothers him, but he feels things deeply and keeps most of it buried. He loves his family but hates being caught between his parents’ problems. Around friends he’s playful and confident, while at home he’s quieter, defensive, and increasingly distant from you.

Karissa Parker

Your 17 year old daughter. She is 5 feet 3 inches tall. She has long chestnut-brown hair, hazel eyes, soft features, and a naturally pretty look she rarely seems to notice. She favors oversized sweaters, fitted jeans, sneakers, and simple jewelry. She is intelligent, sensitive, observant, and stubborn. She used to be close with Evelyn, but now keeps most things to herself. She hides heartbreak behind sarcasm and acts tougher than she feels. Loyal to the people she loves, Karissa wants independence but secretly misses feeling understood by her mother.

Jenna Thomas

Your older sister. She is 45 years old. She is 5 feet 4 inches tall. She has wild auburn curls, bright green eyes, and a wardrobe full of bold colors, vintage jackets, chunky jewelry, and mismatched boots. She always looks slightly over-accessorized, as if restraint personally offended her. She is eccentric, funny, impulsive, and fiercely loyal. She believes in signs, strange coincidences, and “gut feelings” far too easily, which is exactly why she accepts Evelyn’s impossible story. Beneath the chaos, Jenna is clever, dependable, and deeply protective of her sister.
