Review: Approaching her 40th birthday, Alice is devoted to her father, who raised her alone after he mother left. Alice finds watching her father waste away in the hospital to be unbearable. So when she discovers a portal that allows her to relive the day of her 16th birthday, she is determined figure out how to change his life so that he doesn't get sick. What she discovers as she lives though many iterations of the day is that perhaps quality is a lot more important than quantity.
Fans of The Midnight Library will appreciate this more realistic (in terms of human emotions, not in terms of time travel) exploration of choices and consequences and what it means to be happy.
