*Prima Book of the Month for June 2026* 'Witty, laugh-out-loud funny, and genuinely heartwarming' Reader review ? 'I truly didn't want to put this book down' Reader review ? 'I was moved to tears and laughter' Reader review ? Beth didn't expect to get pregnant at seventeen. Nor did she think she'd lose the name and address of the father of her child. Swept up in romance on her French exchange, all she remembers is that his hair smelt like mangoes. Now, in 2026, at her school reunion, she opens the time capsule she wrote to herself at that time. Inside she finds a letter that alters everything Beth thought she knew about her past, and provides an all important clue for finding the father of her 19-year-old daughter, Maisie. Hit hard by the difference between the life she hoped for and the one she’s living, Beth is faced with a choice: chase the adventures she once dreamed of, or embrace the new opportunities life presents?
