Kate OReilly loves a stroll down memory lane. Nowadays shes a mother to Declan and Phoebe, has the semi-detached in suburbia and the dependable husband, Seamus – but when faced with a never-ending pile of laundry and new chin hairs sprouting overnight, no wonder she daydreams about the past.

A time when the music was better (Girl Power forever!), her social circle was wider, Cool Britannia reigned supreme, and only a penalty shootout stood between England reaching the finals of Euro 96.

So, when a freak electrical storm takes her back in time to 1996, Kate's elated – this is her chance to discover what might have happened if she'd only done things a little bit differently in the Nineties.

But as she relives her youth again, will Kate realize some things are best left in the past? And will she ever be able to get back to the family she misses so much? Even if none of them know how to load the sodding dishwasher…

A laugh-out-loud, relatable read for anyone who wishes they could take a holiday from adulting… fans of Why Mummy Drinks and Jane Fallon will love this!
