Summary
Where did she see herself in ten years? Not here. Anywhere but here.
Lily Evans hates Chicago. She’s here solely for her Ph.D. and does not plan to stay. Lily hates Chicago even more than she hates James Potter, her relentlessly optimistic neighbor who won’t stop asking her out. She wishes to skip ahead ten years, to the future her advisor asks her to imagine. In ten years, Lily expects to be miles away from Chicago, her roommates, and James bloody Potter.
So when she wakes up a decade later married to Potter and working as a professor in the Windy City, Lily is convinced she must be living in a nightmare. This life can’t be hers, and if it is, she has to fix her mistakes. But as Lily scrambles to get away from her own future, she must confront the life she’s created for herself. Including all the people she never wanted to know.
