Jillian Westfield gets the perfect suburban life direct out of the upscale women's journals that she obsessively reads. She's got the modern-print carpets of Metropolitan Home, the tasteful dishes from Gourmet, the clutter-free closets out of Real Simple, and the complex Easter egg hunts observed in Parents. With her successful investment banker partner when driving and her cherubic 18-month-old in the backseat, hers could be the family in the journals' polished Range Rover advertising. Yet somehow every one of the how-to magazine tales on the globe can't seem to repair her faltering marriage, banish the tedium of days and nights put in changing diapers, or stop her from asking, "Imagine if?" Then, one morning, Jillian wakes up seven years before. Before her princess was born. Before she committed Henry. Suddenly, she's back her post-grad college Ikea-furnished Manhattan apartment. She's back her fast-paced job with the advertising agency. And she's still with Jackson, the ex-boyfriend and legend of her what-if fantasies. Armed with 20-20 hindsight, she's free to choose all over again. She can use the zippy advertisement campaigns from her future to amazing the customers and bosses in her present. She can reconnect with the mom who left behind her so a long time before. She can fix the fights at every juncture that doomed her romance with Jackson. Or can she? With each new choice leaving a trajectory of unexpected outcomes, Jillian soon realizes that addressing happily ever after is more difficult than changing the lines in her part of the script. Happiness, it turns out, isn't an either-or proposition. As she closes in on all the things she thought she required, Jillian must confront the best what-if of most: Imagine if the problem was never Henry or Jackson, but her? Sharp, funny, and heartwarming, Time of My Life will charm to whoever has ever wished to redo the past and can leave readers pondering, "Do we get the reality we deserve?"
