Summary

Discover the funny, heartfelt novel about love, regret and second chances.

What would you do if you could go back and change anything in your life?

Adam and Jules have been married for twenty-five years when they discover a time machine in their garden shed. Miraculously powered by the old mixtapes they’ve given each other over the years, it allows them to travel back to pivotal moments in their relationship.

They can now relive the moments that made them fall in love. Fix the mistakes. Choose differently. Perfect everything.

But soon they discover that playing ‘what if’ is as dangerous as it is addictive. As the ripple effects spiral out of control, can they find a way back to their messy, glorious real life? Or will they lose each other forever?

If it was you, what would you dare to change?

Critic reviews

Funny, nostalgic and thoughtful
Midlife time travel, Brighton, parenting, music, love, nostalgia, mistakes and multiverses! It's all in here! ..explores the power of decisions we don't even know we're making, and the power of now. Thought provoking, moving and really really funny (Lisa Jewell)
A clever, bittersweet take on love, regret and second chances
You & Me & You & Me & You & Me serves up a heart-warming insight into love after your happily ever after. I loved the sci-fi take on an everyday love that’s worth fighting for (Gillian Anderson)
Engrossing, bittersweet and nostalgic
A grown-up romance that captures the beauty of not only finding your person but holding on to them. Throw in some time travel, great music, and ’90s nostalgia, and you have an unforgettable read. I loved this book (Laurie Gilmore, author of Sunday Times Bestseller, PUMPKIN SPICE CAFÉ)
An inventive romantic journey
A funny, heartfelt and thoughtful exploration of love, choices and second chances
Beneath its clever construct and the romp of likeable people and whipsmart dialogue, lie layers and layers of emotional intelligence… it’s funny, it’s moving and it asks questions we all have: if we could stop time and turn back the clocks what would we do differently? (Freya North)
Witty, relatable, and packed full of nostalgia - I can’t think of two better authors to project us back in time to the 90s. Readers new and old will find a lot to love about this story (Paige Toon, Sunday Times bestselling author of WHAT IF I NEVER GET OVER YOU)
All stars

I absolutely loved this — five stars without hesitation. It’s hilarious, sharp, original and unexpectedly thought-provoking. The music references were genius, adding a visceral energy that made the whole story hum.

The Audible production is outstanding — completely immersive and elevates the book even further. I’m already planning a re-listen. Don’t miss this one.

Immersive, Thought-Provoking, and So Funny!

I didn’t know what the book was about before I reached for it. I was pleasantly surprised! Something different, something real. A fabulous story, certainly one for middle aged doubting their life choices! Definitely worth a read!
