Could Not Stop Reading!
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Jillian Westfield has a life straight out of the women’s magazines she
obsessively reads. She’s got the modern-print rugs of Metropolitan Home,
the elegant meals from Gourmet, and the clutter-free closets out of Real
Simple. With her investment-banker husband behind the wheel and her
cherubic eighteen-month-old in the backseat, hers could be the family in
the magazines’ Range Rover ads.
Yet somehow all of the how-to magazine stories in the world can’t seem to
fix her faltering marriage or stop her from asking What if?

Then one morning Jillian wakes up seven years in the past. She’s back in
her Manhattan apartment. She’s back in her fast-paced job. And she’s still
with Jackson, the ex-boyfriend, and star of her what-if fantasies.
Armed with twenty-twenty hindsight, she’s free to choose all over again.
She can reconnect to the mother who abandoned her, she can use ad
campaigns from her future to wow her clients, and she can fix the fights
that doomed her relationship with Jackson.
Or can she?
Personal Review: Time of My Life: A Novel by Allison Winn
Scotch
Looking in from the outside, Jill Westfield leads the perfect life. She lives in
an affluent New York suburb, is happily married to Henry, a successful
lawyer, and is a model mother to her beautiful daughter Katie. But,
underneath it all, cracks in their seven year marriage are becoming more
and more obvious. Since becoming a partner in his firm, Henry is traveling
more and more, rarely coming home to his wife and daughter. Jill, an
advertising executive turned housewife, is left to tend the household and
raise Katie. She immerses herself in decorating, in cooking, in throwing the
best birthday parties, but the loneliness she feels - the loneliness that has
been there ever since her own mother abandoned her when she was nine
- is hard to escape. Jill moves through her days full of chores and errands
on auto-pilot, with Henry seemingly oblivious to the disconnect growing in
their marriage.
When Jill hears that her ex Jackson, the one she left after meeting Henry,
is getting married, she is sent into a tailspin of what ifs. What if leaving
Jackson was not the right decision? What if this was not the life she was
meant to live? What if she made the wrong choices all along? Waking up
the next morning, Jill finds herself in her oldpre-marriage apartment, the
apartment she shared with Jackson. Through some weird time warp, she is
thrown back in time to a life pre-Henry, pre-Katie, and most importantly,
pre her break-up with Jackson.
Living her past with the knowledge of the future, Jill is making new choices
with 20/20 hindsight. She avoids the arguments that led to the demise of
her relationship with Jackson, she patches things up with his family, and
breathes through campaign pitches at work, already knowing that they will

be a success. However, Jill's decisions also affect the lives of those around
her, sending them on paths she could not anticipate. Will her second
chance allow her to make the choices she believes she should have made
the first time around, or is she fated to the life she was already leading?
"Time of My Life" is Allison Winn Scotch's second novel, and an immensely
enjoyable and engaging one at that. The abrupt time travel switch from
Jill's present life to her past one aside, "Time of My Life" is an interesting
look at fate, and of how one single choice can lead to a completely
different set of outcomes. I was constantly on the edge of my seat
wondering whether Jill would stay with Jackson and let her life take a
different direction, or if she would be pulled back to Henry and the
motherhood she misses once it's no longer there. "Time of My Life" is both
an easy and light read, and one that can spark interesting discussions
among its readers.
