You have to suspend reality to enjoy this book but it was worth it! Jessie, Gabriela, and Claire have been friends forever and part of their friendship involves the yearly celebration of their birthdays. The year they turned forty was a pivotal point in their lives. Jessie had just given birth to a son who joins two sisters. The problem? Well, Lucas is not her husband's child and he doesn't know. Gabriela has worked hard on her successful career as a writer. She loves her husband who knew from the beginning that she didn't want children. She wouldn't change her mind - until she turned forty and wanted a baby more than anything - but now he doesn't. Claire is in a fairly good place. She is engaged to a great guy. Although she has had a lot of problems with her daughter Emily over the years, things are a bit better.
For their fiftieth the three friends go off to Vegas. They go to a show with a magician. After the show he meets them privately and offers them a chance to go back in time to when they were turning 40. The trick is that all three have to agree to go back. They will stay there for one year and then they have a choice to make - they all have to decide to stay or return. An interesting premise and I found it thought provoking - would I have taken the journey back?
