If I Could Turn Back Time
If I Could Turn Back Time: A Novel | Beth Harbison
9 posts | 10 read | 7 to read
Told with Beth Harbison's wit and warmth, If I Could Turn Back Time is the fantasy of every woman who has ever thought, "If I could go back in time, knowing what I know now, I'd do things so differently..." Thirty-seven year old Ramie Phillips has led a very successful life. She made her fortune and now she hob nobs with the very rich and occasionally the semi-famous, and she enjoys luxuries she only dreamed of as a middle-class kid growing up in Potomac, Maryland. But despite it all, she can't ignore the fact that she isn't necessarily happy. In fact, lately Ramie has begun to feel more than a little empty. On a boat with friends off the Florida coast, she tries to fight her feelings of discontent with steel will and hard liquor. No one even notices as she gets up and goes to the diving board and dives off... Suddenly Ramie is waking up, straining to understand a voice calling in the distance...It's her mother: "Wake up! You're going to be late for school again. I'm not writing a note this time..." Ramie finds herself back on the eve of her eighteenth birthday, with a second chance to see the people she's lost and change the choices she regrets. How did she get back here? Has she gone off the deep end? Is she really back in time? Above all, she'll have to answer the question that no one else can: What it is that she really wants from the past, and for her future?

This book is about a woman who finds herself as 18 again on her 38th birthday. She wakes up in her 18 year old life hoping to change some things. It reminded me a little bit of 13 Going On 30 but in reverse. There were some parts that were predictable, but a lot of it I didn‘t see coming and I really liked that. It was a nice book to read to remind us that age is just a number and you always have time to do what you want with your life.

3 1/2 stars. It just dragged on. I liked the ending. Problem was she was all over the book instead if staying clear and focused while writing the book. The main character‘s personality was bouncing off the wall which made me not connect with her enough. I was hoping it would be funny especially if you‘re 38 yr old suddenly transported back into your 18 yr old self. By golly, I‘d be having a major freakish moment and lots of of awkward moments

Initially I was going to rate this between a so-so and a pick, but if you need a fun, light read, it‘s a definite pick.
