Kate’s husband Luke – the man she loved from the moment she met him twenty-eight years ago – died suddenly. Since then she has pushed away her friends, lost her job and everything is starting to fall apart.
One day, she wakes up in the wrong room and in the wrong body. She is eighteen again but remembers everything. This is her college room in 1992. This is the first day of Freshers' Week. And this was the day she first met Luke.
But he is not the man that she lost: he’s still a boy – the annoying nineteen-year-old English student she first met. Kate knows how he died and that he’s already ill. If they can fall in love again she might just be able to save him. She’s going to try to do everything exactly the same…

Review
I wasn't sure I was reading the right book when I began this story. It takes a while to get to the premise that is outlined in the description of the book. I stuck with it because it's a little like time travel, which I love the idea of.
When I got to the part where Kate is in 1992 I didn't really like it, something about it just didn't read right and I am not sure what. At this point in the book I actually wanted to get back to how the story had started out which was more of an espionage/IT plot.
Once we got back to the present day things at first didn't really improve, until there was a great scene as part of the espionage angle. I did really like this part as it was an unusual concept, just didn't seem to fit with the rest of the book.
I'm giving this book 2 out of 5 stars. My thanks to my local library and borrowbox for a copy to read.
