In this irresistible debut novel, a freak accident allows a wife and mother to explore the alluring road not taken. Abbey Lahey is an overworked mom and underappreciated publicist who is about to get a desperately-needed vacation from life, thanks to an unexpected tumble down an escalator. When Abbey wakes up, she finds herself inhabiting the life of Abbey van Holt, wife of congressional candidate Alex van Holt who lives in a lavish penthouse, the woman she might have been if she'd said yes to a date with Alex all those years ago.
