“Again Again will leave readers breathless. This one is another knockout.”—Gayle Forman, #1 New York Times bestselling author of If I Stay

If you could live your life again, what would you do differently?

After a near-fatal family catastrophe and an unexpected romantic upheaval, Adelaide Buchwald finds herself catapulted into a seemingly impossible summer, during which she will fall in and out of love a thousand times. Navigating a tangled web of different timelines, Adelaide must finally confront the secrets she keeps, her ideas about love, and the weird grandiosity of the human mind.

A raw, funny, lyrical story that will surprise you over and over, Again Again gives us an indelible heroine grappling with the terrible and wonderful problem of loving other people.
