Again Again

After saving her brother from a drug overdose, Adelaide Buchman and her family agree that they all need a fresh start. So, Adelaide and her father Levi move to a new city – six hours away from her mother and brother – to Adelaide’s new school, where her father takes a job teaching. Adelaide is thrown into a summer of falling in and out of love all the while presenting a sophisticated and charming personality, which can sometimes expose how vulnerable she can be.

In a beautifully structured novel by E. Lockhart, Again Again is full of heart-wrenching storylines. Almost every situation has a few alternative endings before you actually read the real one and I loved this because I had never read
anything like it. It was a very refreshing way of reading, where you think you can see which outcomes the author considers using.

Adelaide and Toby Buchman’s brother-sister relationship really appealed to me as well because, although they keep things from each other, they are always there for when the other is in need. I loved this book! I would recommend it to anyone who likes romantic fiction that includes real-life situations. Again Again is a wonderful story that shows us the reality of loving and losing the right and wrong people.
