Back in My Day

By: Maggie Aldrich

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Stressed out supermom and overachieving teen clash in this witty dual-perspective comparison of then versus now. Were things really better "back in the day?"

Beth Peters has it all. A high-powered job, a loving husband, and exactly 2.5 kids (dog included.) She’s a walking super-mom in a power suit, living the picture-perfect life.

Or is she?

In reality, her job is sucking the life out of her, and her absent husband is absolutely no help. Daughter Maddie is the typical teenage trifecta: angsty, angry, and aloof. 10-year-old Matt is a burgeoning computer hacker, and her smother-in-law would like nothing more than to watch her flailing marriage implode. When rumors of cheating -- in school and at home -- come to light, both Beth and Maddie yearn for an escape.

However, waking up in 1987 is not quote what they had in mind.

Mother and daughter are mortified to be stuck in the days of mix tapes, not-so-smart phones, and slow family dinners around the table, experiencing electronics withdrawal faster than you can say “Indiana Jones.” Can the two find a way to communicate without text, Snap or Insta? Will they finally resolve the family’s issues and get back to their real lives in the present? Or will the secrets that divide them keep them in the land of bad fashion and big hair forever?

The story was enjoyable I liked the flashback with mother and daughter and seeing the difference between the times
