"Birdie Robinson thought she'd gotten everything she wanted out of life: fame, adoration and an A-list career as Hollywood's most beloved ingenue. But after an on-set feud goes viral, she's forced to go into hiding in the one place where no one would think to find her: her childhood home. Wallowing in her bedroom, she stumbles upon an anonymous love letter from a former boyfriend and decides that a very public reunion with her nameless suitor could turn the wave of public opinion back in her favor. Life imitating art. What could go wrong? Elliot O'Brien, star reporter, believes firmly in facts, and he knows that life isn't an actual rom-com. Case in point, he's spent two decades repressing his long-simmering feelings for his twin sister's best friend, Birdie. But with his journalistic career cratering, and with Birdie back in town clutching an anonymous love letter, he realizes that chronicling her search for her long ago ex may be his opportunity to right some wrongs. As they hit the road in an ancient RV, Birdie and Elliot retrace her romantic history and come face to face with their own romantic missteps, all while grappling with whether or not happy endings are found only on the big screen--or whether their own happier ever after could be closer than they both ever imagined."--

Two exes wake up together with wedding bands on their fingers-and no idea how they got there. They have just one New Year's Eve at the end of 1999 to figure it out in this big-hearted and nostalgic rom-com from New York Times bestselling author Allison Winn Scotch. When college sweethearts Frankie and Ezra broke up before graduation, they vowed to never speak to each other again. Ten years later, on the eve of the new millennium, they find themselves back on their snowy, picturesque New England campus together for the first time for the wedding of mutual friends. Frankie's on the rise as a music manager for the hottest bands of the late '90s, and Ezra's ready to propose to his girlfriend after the wedding. Everything is going to plan-they just have to avoid the chasm of emotions brought up when they inevitably come face to face. But when they wake up in bed next to each other the following morning with Ezra's grandmother's diamond on Frankie's finger, they have zero memory of how they got there-or about any of the events that transpired the night before. Now Frankie and Ezra have to put aside old grievances in order to figure out what happened, what didn't happen...and to ask themselves the most troubling question of all: what if they both got it wrong the first time around?

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • "A clever, entertaining look at the compromises women make-and the dangers of getting what you asked for."-PeopleJillian Westfield has a life straight out of the women's magazines she obsessively reads. She's got the modern-print rugs of Metropolitan Home, the elegant meals from Gourmet, and the clutterfree closets out of Real Simple. With her investment-banker husband behind the wheel and her cherubic eighteen-month-old in the backseat, hers could be the family in the magazines' Range Rover ads. Yet somehow all of the how-to magazine stories in the world can't seem to fix her faltering marriage or stop her from asking "What if?" Then one morning Jillian wakes up seven years in the past. She's back in her Manhattan apartment. She's back in her fast-paced job. And she's still with Jackson, the ex-boyfriend, and star of her what-if fantasies. Armed with twenty-twenty hindsight, she's free to choose all over again. She can reconnect to the mother who abandoned her, she can use ad campaigns from her future to wow her clients, and she can fix the fights that doomed her relationship with Jackson. Or can she?Praise for Time of My Life"A hilarious read."-Redbook "[Jillian] is easy to understand, a woman trying to figure out who she is and what she wants to do with her life.
