Hi there!
Welcome back to Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers.
Today, we've teamed up with Rachel's Random Resources to celebrate 20 YEARS of Shari Low! That's right. The title we're featuring today is celebrating its TWENTY YEAR ANNIVERSARY, so let's break out the confetti, and don our party hats because there's nothing like a bookish party to get over hump day! Am I right? Of course, I'm right...at least on this matter. *smirk* Anywho, let's get this blog tour post on the road as we focus in on today's ebook of choice...
What If?

About the book...
The book that started it all! A classic retro romcom from #1 bestselling author Shari Low.
1999.
Carly Cooper is 30, single, and after coming close to saying ‘I Do’ to six different men, she’s wondering if she accidentally said ‘goodbye' to Mr Right.
But there is a problem.
Her ex-boyfriends are scattered all over the world and Carly lives in 1999; an era before Facebook, Google, smartphones, 4G and Broadband, when it was impossible to track people down with a few clicks of a mouse.
On a mission to discover if she walked away from her 'happy ever after', Carly quits her job, her flat, her whole life and sets off on a quest to track down all the men she has ever loved.
Her Mr Right is out there, but can she find him?
And what if he’s moved on from the ex-girlfriend who said goodbye? A wonderful classic 20th-anniversary re-release.

That eternal question...what if?
There are so many ways that it can help us, but also so many ways that it can plague us...and in this story, we see both ends of that stick.
Carly is trying to clean her slate before the millennium arrives. She's always been on the lookout for adventure, travel, the next big thing...and usually finds it...but there's one area that she's downright shite in. LOVE. It's not so much that she can't find it, but more so that she can't seem to make it stick. As we follow her on her journey to reconnect with all the beaus of the past, we get to glimpse each relationship as they originally unfolded as well...and might I just say, there's definitely a trend when it comes to our fair lead. Problem with the trend? It generally scares her out of her wits, she jumps the gun or runs right into the fire, and BOOM...self-implosion every time. Like a trooper though, she's never given up...nor has her libido...but now, that what if of the situation is plaguing her. What if she threw the wrong one away? What if she didn't see the forest for the trees, or her soul mate for the person they were in her haste to make tracks? I mean, if there is someone for everyone, where is THE ONE meant for her? In the past or still to come? She aims to find out, come heck, high water, a mountain of debt, and the degradation of her self-worth...not that it comes to all that EXACTLY. *ahem*
This was definitely a whirlwind one way trip with a surprising round trip option built right in! How so? Oh, I couldn't possibly tell you that, but trust me when I say you'll want to stick around because good things come to those who wait. I can see how this one garnered attention back in the day, but also TODAY, because what gal isn't bothered by the what ifs at some point or another. I mean, until we've reached our rainbow's end and found that perfect pot of gold, there's always second guessing, miss steps, and nights rather forgotten...but sometimes those times we'd rather not have had, turn into memories worth sharing down the line, and as long as those off the rail moments lead us to our own happily ever after, how can we really ever truly regret them?
So, if you're a fan of Contemporary Romance or Romantic Comedy, and don't mind a few blush worthy scenes now and again, you're in for a real treat! Think Sex and the City with a heavy dose of cabin fever built in!
