I know this particular story has been done to death, but it still tends to be an amusing look into generational misunderstandings. The book description seems to state that this time the story goes deeper than just learning to appreciate another age. You might want to give this book a look over.

This summer, from
New York Times bestselling author Beth Harbison, comes an extraordinary story of self-discovery. In
IF I COULD TURN BACK TIME (St. Martin’s Press; July 28, 2015; $26.99)
Beth Harbison employs her signature wit and warmth to tell the story of
every woman who has ever thought, “if I could go back in time, knowing
what I know now, I’d do things so differently…”
Thirty-six year old Ramie Phillips has led a very
successful life. She made her fortune and now she hob nobs with the very
rich, and occasionally semi-famous, and enjoys luxuries
she only dreamed of as a middle-class kid growing up in Maryland. But
lately Ramie has begun to feel a bit…empty.
While partying on a boat with friends off the
Florida coast, no one notices as Ramie gets up to go to the diving
board. So no one notices when she hits her head on the board on
her way down…
She wakes some time later with a throbbing headache
and something beeping next to her. She strains to understand a voice
calling in the distance: “Wake up!” It’s her mother. “You’re
going to be late for school again. I’m not writing a note this time…”
An exploration of what life teaches us, and what we can learn from the past,
IF I COULD TURN BACK TIME is the next hilarious and heartwarming novel from the beloved Beth Harbison.
