What if You Could Rewind Time? by Keira Lea

What would you do if you could rewind time? Would you take advantage of a second chance? I thought about this question a lot while writing Replay. A few things came to mind.

First, I would rewind to my freshman year of college. When I was in high school, everyone expected you to go to college, but no one told you what to do when you got there. I ended up on the five-year bachelor's degree plan because I was clueless the first year. Some would argue I was just drunk … on the excitement of being on my own. While we're talking about college, I would go back to that moment I ran my car into my dad's truck as I left to move into the dorm.

I would also rewind to my high school prom, when I tripped on a step and sprained not one but two ankles. I'd go back to the day I decided to walk across an icy sidewalk at school. I'm sure you know how that ended. The next decision I would undo is turning on an unprotected left two months after earning my driver's license. That time, my father's car and my pride sustained a bit more damage.

Let's go back further to the weekend I rode a jetski at the lake for three hours with no sunscreen on my porcelain skin. Or the afternoon at Six Flags I went straight from a lunch of pizza and Dr Pepper to a ride that goes upsidedown. Twice. Oh, and speaking of that visit to Six Flags during a Texas summer? I wore a black T-shirt, a long black skirt, and boots. Sunscreen was a moot point, but heatstroke was not.

What if you could rewind time? Tell me what you would change.

  3. No ebook for me, but did want to say what a wonderful concept!
    So much I'd love to rewind *sigh*. My favorite hour is 12am - 1a.m. as I think the still of the night is so peaceful and perfect for star gazing.

  7. My favourite time of the day is 15:00 because that's the time I get home from the mad rush of a day at campus and get to flop on to my bed and fall off to sleep. I love the concept of being able to rewind time and do things over. Thanks for the giveaway:)

  9. I'm a night owl, but my favorite time of day is 6am on those rare occasions when I am wide awake and everyone else is still asleep. It's great because I know where everyone important to me is, but at the same time they are all quiet and I can sneak into the living room and enjoy some nice me time!
