Book Synopsis
Holly Fitzgerald has inexplicably woken up inside the body of an LA teenager called Trinity Byrne in 1980 - trapping Trinity in Holly's forty-year-old body back in Melbourne, 2020.

Mind. Officially. Blown.

Holly finds herself navigating a brand-new body, family and cute boy next door - not to mention rock band that might just make it, and potential kidnapper. Meanwhile, lies intersect with truth, hurtling both Holly and Trinity towards a dangerous fate as the connections between them grow deeper and stranger than either could have ever imagined.

Freaky Friday meets Pretty Little Liars - if the Liars were an all-girl punk band from the 1980s - in this highly original soul-swap story from the critically acclaimed author of My Life as a Hashtag.

'An absolute delight. Funny, clever, compelling, and utterly original.' NINA KENWOOD, It Sounded Better in My Head

Trade Review
'I loved it so much. It's such a special book, full of intrigue and joy and angst at a breakneck pace. I devoured it. The characters leapt off the page and into my heart and I've been thinking about them for days. The ending was so perfect, I was in floods of (happy) tears. It's perfect for teenagers or anyone who was once a teenager, for mums and for anyone who has ever had a mum.' FRANCES CHAPMAN, Stars Like Us

'[Williams] is such a skilful - and joyful - writer, and she perfectly calibrates both the time-travel/body-swap element, and an intricate and often surprising plot. I wanted to enter the world of this novel... and in fact, I started it one Sunday afternoon and didn't pause to eat (or make) dinner until I finished it at 9pm.' InDaily


'A witty and humorous story that transcends the boundaries of time and explores everything from fate to soulmates and serial killers.' Teen Breathe

'
Readers both young and old will enjoy this unique story of navigating a brand-new body, meeting new family, friends and mixed-up emotions, all while trying to figure out who you can trust, who's trying to kill you and if everything's going to work out...I loved every minute of it.' Reading with a Chance of Tacos

'[A] fast-paced time-travel narrative...The magical realism used creates some unique reading in this popular body-swap style of writing...there is something about this narrative that bites the reader in a fresh and original way.' NSW English Teachers Association journal
