Imagine if you could travel back in time and relive one weekend as your sixteen year-old self - would you change anything? Everything wrong with Craig Pelling's life can be traced back to 1986 and the moment he popped in to a newsagent for a can of Coke. Now in his mid-forties, all he has to look back on is twenty-five years of marriage to a woman he doesn't love and an unfulfilled career selling electrical goods. He could have been so much more, achieved so much more.But as bitter as Craig feels about his mundane existence, fate hasn't finished with him yet. A series of unfortunate events pushes the hapless Craig to breaking point as his life crumbles around him. All looks lost until he's thrown a lifeline - the miraculous lifeline of a brief trip back to 1986, to relive one weekend as his sixteen year-old self. Will he be able to change his future for the better? Is it as simple as just reverting one decision he made over thirty years ago? Craig is about to find out.A future best-seller in the making - early readers are loving 'The '86 Fix'..."If you lived through the 1980s and love a good story, you MUST put this on your reading list.""One of those rare books that will keep you turning pages way beyond bedtime.""I absolutely love this book! It's made me laugh out loud, mourn my past youth and be thankful for what I have.""Thoroughly enjoyable and a refreshing change to the type of books I usually go for.""Absolutely loved it and read it in one sitting, even though I finished it at 2am on a work night.""This is a book for people who don't usually read sci-fi or time-travel books. It's a book for people who enjoy a dollop of British nostalgia, and a good laugh. Above all else though, it's a book for people who want a real page-turner. If you want a book you can't put down, this is it.""I laughed a lot, cried a little and nearly wet myself at the end." "Witty, clever, and a bit brilliant!"… (more)
