The Year We Turned Forty: A Novel

If you could repeat one year of your life, what would you do differently? This heartwarming and hilarious novel from the authors of The Status of All Things and Your Perfect Life features three best friends who get the chance to return to the year they turned fortyâ€”the year that altered all of their lives, in ways big and smallâ€”and also get the opportunity to change their future.

Jessie loves her son Lucas more than anything, but it tears her up inside that he was conceived in an affair that ended her marriage to a man she still loves, a man who just told her he's getting remarried. This time around, sheâ€™s determined to bury the secret of Lucasâ€™ paternity, and to repair the fissures that sent her wandering the first time.

Claire is the only one who has made peace with her past: her twenty-two year old daughter, Emily, is finally on track after the turmoil of adolescence, and she's recently gotten engaged, with the two carat diamond on her finger to prove it. But if sheâ€™s being honest, Claire still fantasizes about her own missed opportunities: a chance to bond with her mother before it was too late, and the possibility of preventing her daughter from years of anguish. Plus, thereâ€™s the man who got awayâ€”the man who may have been her one true love.

But it doesnâ€™t take long for all three women to learn that re-living a life and making different decisions only leads to new problems and consequencesâ€”and that the mistakes they made may, in fact, have been the best choices of allâ€¦
