While men have the patriarchy to help them live their best lives, the memos serve as a blueprint for success for women. Gifted with a second shot at her dream life, Jenny travels back through time to fix her worst mistakes, but at what cost? Ultimately, she has to decide whether the pursuit of perfection is worth the personal sacrifice - before it's too late.A totally unputdownable, hilarious and beyond-relatable page-turner about the friendships, loves and small moments of joy that don't make headlines in a world where competition is everything.
