What if you could live the "what if" in your life? Pamela Drury is in crisis. As she enters her thirty-fifth year, she is struck by the realization that she has made a complete mess of her life. Sure, she's traveled the world, has an award-winning career, and owns real estate. So why does she have the overwhelming feeling that she missed the boat to love and happiness? What happened to Mr. Right? Pamela comes to the miserable conclusion that she let him go when she turned down Robert Dickson thirteen years ago. Racked with regret and at the brink of despair, Pamela magically collides with someone who is about to change her herself. The Pamela who did marry Robert Dickson all those years ago.... Pamela No. 2 comes complete with Robert, three children, two goldfish, and a dog. Astonished to meet her alternate self, Pamela is further stunned when Pamela No. 2 vanishes, leaving Pamela stranded in the married life...with funny, revealing, and often poignant consequences. Australian screenwriter/director Pip Karmel, creator of the internationally acclaimed film Me Myself I, showcases her sparkling talent in this wry and affecting novel.
I LOVED this story! No spoilers here, but you will too. I'm glad I didn't read the synopsis on the back; it gives too much away, in my opinion. Very engaging writing in a visual style. The movie was directed by the author; can't wait to see it! (Hint: If you like the movie Sliding Doors, you'll love this!)
This is a cute book about a woman questioning the decisions she has made in her life. She gets the opportunity to see how things might have been by switching places with her "other self." Not heavy, a fun read.
