"People will stop treating me like a kid" is one of the 16 wishes that Abby Jensen has been collecting and writing on a highly decorated piece of paper for eight years now, when she was half the age she is today, on her sweet 16th birthday's morning. Magics worked quite well for other wishes, that day: she meets her favourite pop star, she gets a new fabulous dress, and even a car and a driving license, she wins school elections, and so on. But with this particular wish magic shows a glitch: not only she is not more "treated like a kid", she actually isn't a kid anymore! (22, not so much). Misinterpretation. And she is suddenly projected into a new existence. Her parents send her to a new apartment, which she is expected to pay for with the gains of her (unexistent) job; worse: even her bff, Jay, doesn't recognize her, at the beginning. Sad. And - much worse - when he eventually remembers, she is still, for him and everybody else, an older person. Sadder. Unexplainable.
A final magic trick restores her to the morning of her birthday, and her life, to her relievement, starts again, in a new way, not like the gloomy picture acquired when she was an adult. But - hark - not even like the first start: her relationships with people, and the course of action is radically changed. Third time around, a third future (or present?), sure. There's no magic without logic.
