Annie in Retrospect: A Novel
13 Going on 30 meets Younger in this irresistible, time-bending novel about a 40-year-old woman who swaps places with her 25-year-old self in 2008 San Francisco and discovers that the future—and the past—aren’t quite what she'd imagined.
It’s 2008, and Annie Young is a hot mess. Navigating a quarter-life crisis while living it up in San Francisco, she’s juggling unemployment, heartbreak, and changing friendships, all while dreaming of a perfect “married with kids” future that now feels farther away than ever.
But Annie’s life takes a wild turn when, with the help of her grandmother and a magical prayer, she wakes up in 2023 in the body of her older self. She is now Annie Hartman, a forty-year-old wife and stay-at-home mother. This is what she wanted—right?
Meanwhile, forty-year-old Annie, who’s disenchanted with the realities of mid-life, gets the second chance she’s been wishing for when she wakes up in her twenty-five-year-old life and body in 2008. But can she truly embrace the fun of being young again once she’s face to face with the first love who broke her heart and the best friend she knows she’ll lose? Forced to confront her regrets and relive her twenties, knowing what she knows now, will she choose a different path?
