After discovering a magical ability to travel through time, Lisa Williams uses her newfound freedom to return to her youth and redo her past to meet her one true love with humorous, heart-warming, and sometimes disastrous results.

It's 2008 and Lisa Williams is lonely and desperate for love as she grapples with a failing marriage. She is having an extramarital affair with a married man, Adam, who she believes is the true love of her life. Stuck waiting for him-as usual-at a train station one evening, she hears The Human League's song, Don't You Want Me, on the radio, and is suddenly transported to her alma mater, Columbia University, as a student in 1982 New York City. There, in her eighteen-year-old body with all her memories of middle age intact, she meets her lover, as if for the first time.

Thus begins her wild journey traveling back and forth through time, unpredictably, to the colorful and musical 1980s. Lisa hopes that while in the past, she can prevent Adam from marrying the woman who becomes his wife in the present day. But each new moment in the past provides new insights into the present, and the twists and turns of time travel combine with fate and friendship to lead Lisa to a surprising new future.
