The h’s husband leaves her and she goes through a mid life crisis. Her ex love of her life who is dead is visiting her. She meets a new love who is also going through a marriage separation. Life is looking up again but suddenly she starts having dreams about old friendships and revisiting her past.
The whole thing with the dream sequence on her regressing to her teen years was a bit too weird. If the dreams had been real, then having a weird do over and preventing Bobby’s death would have been a better ending. Or, having her new love work out would also have been a good idea. I wasn’t a fan of the ending either.
