一段大人的愛情故事
這是故事的主角:亞當和茱爾絲,一對結婚了將近25年的夫妻,如今生活枯燥而千篇一律,而未來可預見的只有無盡的乏味。
直到某天,亞當意外發現了一整盒的混音錄音帶,那是他跟茱爾絲年輕熱戀時,為彼此錄製的。他輕輕拂去老舊音響上的灰塵,把卡帶放進去,按下播放鍵,此時…不可思議的事情發生了!藉著卡帶穿越時空的能力,亞當和茱爾絲回到了過去熱戀時期,重溫當初暈頭轉向的那份悸動。然而他們很快地意識到,重回過去這件事不僅會令人上癮,而且充滿了危險性,尤其是他們很難抗拒替過往的事件,做出『一點點』小改變的行為…
隨著一連串連鎖反應的影響,後果逐漸失控,他們是否能夠找回那個混亂、不完美,但卻燦爛無比的現實人生?還是就這樣從此失去彼此?(文/博客來外文館)
“If you read just one book this year, read this one—a time-bending love story full of nostalgia and ‘what-ifs.’”—Sophie Cousens, New York Times bestselling author of Just Haven’t Met You Yet
“A grown-up love story that captures the beauty of not only finding your person but holding on to them. Throw in some time travel, great music, and ’90s nostalgia, and you have an unforgettable read.”—Laurie Gilmore, #1 New York Times bestselling author
Meet Adam and Jules.
Married for nearly twenty-five years and stuck in a rut, their future looks, well, boring.
Then Adam stumbles across a box of old mixtapes he and Jules made for each other when they were young and falling in love. He dusts off his vintage stereo, inserts one of the cassettes, presses “Play” …and the unbelievable happens.
With the power to travel back in time, Jules and Adam can recapture the headiness of falling in love. But they soon realize that visiting the past could be as dangerous as it is addictive, because the temptation to change just a few tiny things is irresistible.
As the consequences start to spiral out of control, can they find a way back to their messy and imperfect, yet glorious, real life? Or will they lose each other forever?
