    LOTS of posts in here looking for books like Ken Grimwood's Replay. (And I've gone through many already) Do-overs, second chances, etc. It's one of my favorite books of any genre. I never thought I'd find another that I connected with as much UNTIL I recently found "Fifty In Reverse" by Bill Flanagan. If you liked Replay for the same reasons I did, you'll probably love Fifty In Reverse. It hit the same feels.

    The time travel science isn't all that important and neither is trying to change some world event. These are more about how this sudden jump into the past affects the protagonist on a personal level.

    The TWO main things I'm looking for are:

    1) an older adult wakes up in their teenage home and body with their memories and experience. The ways they deal with both this new circumstance (as an adult in a teen's world) AND the technological and social differences between the two lives. Several books on the "Like Replay" recommendations hit that mark.

    2) I want their teenage years to be in the 1970s with lots of cultural/musical references from that era. (Cuz that's where I'm from) I haven't had much luck with that qualification.

    Any leads? Thanks
