  美夢成真,
  會是幸福完美的結局,還是另一場旅程的開端?
 
  二十六歲的露西清晨五點就因為臥室「又」漏水了,不得不提早起床面對現實的人生。她好厭倦,厭倦幫電視台的資深製作人跑腿買咖啡,厭倦沒一個像樣的約會對象,厭倦經常漏水的租屋處,厭倦室友連廁所的衛生紙用完了,也能假裝沒看見。
 
  一成不變的生活,意外出現了轉機。當她撞見一台許願機,把錢幣放入洞口的那一刻,露西全心全意許下了一個願望:「拜託,讓我跳過眼下的一切,穿越到人生中最美好的階段吧!」
 
  隔天早上醒來時,露西的手指上多了一枚戒指,身旁是一位帥氣的伴侶,她現在是事業有成的女強人,還擁有兩個堪稱完美的孩子!看著鏡子中約莫四十幾歲的自己,露西真不敢相信願望就這樣實現了!站在人生的巔峰,享受美滿的事業和家庭,這不就是她夢想中的人生嗎?
 
  美夢成真的露西,卻顯得惶惶不安,若想填補這一大段消失的時光、重建回憶,就得放棄看似完美的生活,回到二十六歲的自己……這念頭也太矛盾了吧?露西會甘願放棄舒適的生活和求之不得的帥老公,回到連約會對象都沒有的過去?美夢成真,會是幸福完美的結局,還是另一場旅程的開端?每時每刻看似平凡無奇,有時甚至讓人心煩無比,卻是無法重來的珍貴回憶?(文/博客來外文館)

"Lucy Young is twenty-six and tired. Tired of fetching coffees for senior TV producers, sick of going on disastrous dates, and done with living in a damp flat with roommates who never buy toilet roll. After another disappointing date, Lucy stumbles upon a wishing machine. Pushing a coin into the slot, Lucy closes her eyes and wishes with all her might: Please, let me skip to the good part of my life. When she wakes the next morning to a handsome man, a ring on her finger, a high-powered job, and two storybook-perfect children, Lucy can’t believe this is real - especially when she looks in the mirror, and staring back is her own forty-something face. Has she really skipped ahead like she’s always wanted, or has she simply forgotten a huge chunk of her life? As Lucy begins to embrace new relationships and the perks of maturity, she’ll have to ask herself: Can she go back, and if so, does she want to?"--
