Ooh La La

By: Beckley, James

Jack is fifty-five, stuck in a life that looks perfect from the outside and feels quietly unbearable from within.

His marriage is brittle, his job numbing, and the words he wishes he'd said - to the people who mattered most - feel long out of reach.

In 1985, Jack is fifteen and wishing his life would hurry up and start.

On a stormy night, in two different years, a phone box rings - and Jack answers.

Suddenly, the two Jacks are forced to live each other's lives: one navigating adulthood with a teenager's heart, the other discovering youth armed with the knowledge of everything that's coming. With the help of an unlikely group of friends - and one very unreliable time operative - Jack is given something most people never get:

a chance to say the words before it's too late.

Ooh La La is a warm, funny, and deeply human story about regret, friendship, parents, and the moments in life that can't be changed - only faced.

Because some things are set points...

but kindness, courage, and love never are.
