WOW! Aimie K, Runyan, the Author of “Missed Connections” has written a magical, unique, captivating and intriguing novel. I am a huge fan of Aimie K. Runyan, and I loved everything about this book. It has the feel of “Groundhog Day” and “Back to the Future” with the addition of an “Irish God-Mother”. The Genres for this well read and imaginative book are : Magical Realism, Fantasy, Romance, Contemporary, Single Women’s Fiction, Women’s Domestic Life Fiction, and Literary Fiction. The female protagonist, Sabrina Sorensen, is single, 37, and has been obsessing to be a “Michelin Guide Inspector.” The politics in the restaurant business are brutal and getting those “Michelin Stars” and keeping them is tricky. Sabrina has some family conflict, and after a major disappointment with the restaurant, heads to the airport, with no place to really go.

At the airport, she meets a kind ticket agent, who pulls her aside. If you had the opportunity to go back to the past, to correct a mistake, that would be positive, and help meet your goals, would you go? Repeatedly? Sabrina is confused with her goals and achievements in life, and decides to take a chance. She revisits locations, visits with characters she has known, and meets new intriguing characters. I highly recommend this thought-provoking and memorable book for a magical adventure. Aimie K. Runyan has done a wonderful job, writing and storytelling!
