Holly ha un negozio di abiti vintage, un figlio di dieci anni che adora, una misteriosa fata madrina che in ogni momento cruciale della sua vita le fa avere un charm da aggiungere al suo braccialetto. Greg è un broker in carriera e ha una fidanzata perfetta che lo vuole sposare, ma decide di abbandonare Wall Street per dedicarsi alla sua vera passione: la fotografia. Holly e Greg non si conoscono e non hanno niente in comune. Ci vorrà la magia di New York, un po' di fortuna e un altro braccialetto della felicità per farli incontrare.

Una vita piena di impegni, una continua corsa contro il tempo, un lavoro da avvocato che non le concede tregua: questa è la vita di Abby. E se un giorno, improvvisamente, fosse costretta a fermarsi? Per un banale incidente, mentre sta correndo, batte la testa e quando si risveglia è in ospedale. Ma quanto tempo è passato? Abby non lo sa, non può saperlo, perché il suo cervello non riesce più a fissare i ricordi. Il disturbo potrebbe durare poco, o forse invece Abby è destinata a dimenticare tutto quello che vive. Questa prospettiva la terrorizza, eppure non vuole arrendersi. E se fosse l’occasione per rivoluzionare la sua vita? Per ricominciare a prendersi cura di ciò che ha sempre trascurato? E così comincia a stilare una lista di desideri: si riavvicina ai suoi familiari, riscopre affetti che fino a quel momento aveva ignorato, vince la sua paura di viaggiare e decide di andare a New York, dove la sorella ha appena avuto una bambina. Sarà proprio in questa splendida città che Abby trascorrerà inaspettati momenti di felicità e l’amore busserà di nuovo alla sua porta… Adesso Abby ha trovato qualcosa di prezioso, per cui vale la pena lottare con tutte le forze. Perché della sua vita non è più disposta a perdere nessun ricordo, nemmeno il più insignificante.
