40-year-old Alice travels back in time to her 16th birthday party, and makes some changes that she hopes will alter her future.

What a spectacularly emotional book about time travel. Alice moves past being mired in her own regrets, past the fear of her father's death and her compulsion to control the death, and into a better understanding of how love functioned in her life. Honestly, what would anyone do with time travel other than go visit the people that they have loved? ( )

2.5 stars. Disappointing. This was so saccharine I wanted to DNF it after the first part. I forced myself to read it only to be rewarded with more cliches. The only interesting character here was the dad, and he was not explored very deeply.
Everything in here is surface level, and even the 90s nostalgia didn’t do much to make it more bearable. This book could have been a lot better, but it felt so superficial to me. ( )

I read everything by Emma Straub. I love her work. When I saw this one I hadn't read yet, I got it from the library. I didn't read anything about what it is about. Turns out it is about time travel--and I don't care for books about time travel.
The relationship between Alice, the main character, and her father, Leonard, and the one between Alice and her best friend Sam are the best parts of the book. Straub is an excellent writer, and this book is no exception. I just didn't care for the time travel!
Alice sits by her father's bedside as he is dying, over a period of time. She works at the school she attended herself, and although she enjoys it, wonders if she's missing out on something. She likes being single, but wonders if she should be with someone (although early in the novel she turns down her boyfriend's proposal). I like Alice. I like most of the characters. I'm just not sure where Straub was going this time, and/or why she chose this time travel theme. ( )

I put this book on hold from my library without really paying attention to what it was about. That was actually a good idea this time. I don't think it's a spoiler to say that this book is about the relationship between a father and daughter, facing mortality. Even though it goes into definite science fiction territory, and I usually stay far away from it, I was very intrigued. The overwhelming irony with life imitating art is that Emma Straub's father Paul actually died this past September 4, which was my father's birthday. We chose that day to hold the unveiling for him. I think in both cases, we are choosing life, despite all. ( )

I liked this but I’m not sure everyone will. I feel like there are a lot of books out these days toying with the idea of the alternate life/timeline. I enjoy that concept and liked this but confess it’s getting a little played out.

That said: this one worked pretty well for me personally because I related to the main character Alice who shared my birthday, October 12, and is exploring her relationship with her Dad as he nears death. My own Dad died many years ago, when I was just 20, so the idea of getting to do what Alice does is something I really that I really connect with.

Also - can you even imagine going in to your 16th birthday with all of your adult knowledge abs experience onboard? Whoa!

Only when a story was finished, all fates resolved and the whole matter sealed off at both ends so it resembled, at least in this one respect, every other finished story in the world, could she feel immune, and ready to punch holes in the margins, bind the chapters with pieces of string, paint or draw the cover, and take the finished work to show to her mother, or her father, when he was home.

The first twenty years of her life had gone by in slow motion—-the endless summers, the space from birthday to birthday almost immeasurable —-but the second twenty years had gone by in a flash. Days could still be slow, of course, but weeks and months and sometimes even years zipped along, like a rope slipping through your hands.
The way you spend your days is the way you spend your life.
Go back in time, fix nothing!
…fiction was a myth.  Fictional stories, that is. Maybe there were bad ones out there, but the good ones, the good ones —those were always true. Not the facts, not the rights and lefts, not the plots, which could take place in outer space or in hell or anywhere in between, but the feelings. The feelings were the truth.
…grief was something that moved in and stayed.
