Joey Vasquez’s life is the definition of good on paper. At 32, she’s a lawyer on the cusp of making partner, she owns her house in Los Angeles, and she almost keeps pace with her doctor sister in her parents’ eyes. When she reluctantly arrives at the very couple-y dinner party hosted by Elijah Aarons, the best friend she’s secretly pined after for 14 years, she’s dismayed to find that the last person on earth she’d ever want to see again is also there: Alex Aquino, your basic rich Silicon Beach jerk. The night couldn’t possibly get worse --- and then she dies. When Joey is given a second chance at life, she finds herself 18 again, the year she first met both Elijah and Alex. Armed with memories from her first life, Joey is certain she’s come back to finally convince the one man she ever loved to love her back. So why does she find herself strangely drawn to the man she thought she hated?
