Twenty-one year old Tim Lake, awkward, slightly gangly, and from what he considers an odd but loving family in Cornwall, is still relatively happy. His life has the potential to be even happier when on New Years Day, his father tells him that all the men in their family have the ability to travel in time, albeit only to places and situations where they've been before. In discussing the issue with his dad, what Tim decides will be the immediate priority for any of his time travel is to get a girlfriend. Following a failed attempt with Charlotte, a friend of his sister Kit Kat who is staying with them for the summer, Tim, after moving to London to begin his career as a lawyer, believes he's found the girl of his dreams in Mary, who he falls in love with literally on first sight on what is their literal blind date. Tim will find that getting what he wants in life, including Mary, isn't always as easy as redoing his life in a way that failed him the first time. He will also find that redoing certain parts of his life may have unintended consequences, where he will have to set his priorities between what may be competing and incompatible outcomes. He will also find that traveling back in time may have other benefits than just fixing problems, that it cannot solve all life's problems, and has some other drawbacks.—Huggo
