Description

A GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

What if you got to do everything in your life—twice? The heart of Mitch Albom’s newest novel is a stunning love story that dares to explore how our unchecked desires might mean losing what we’ve had all along.

When he is eight years old, Alfie Logan discovers the magical ability to get a second chance at everything. He can undo any moment and live it again. The one catch: he must accept the consequences of his second try—for better or worse.

He grows up correcting his mistakes and saving himself from adolescent embarrassments. He even takes foolishly dangerous risks, just to see what it’s like to come close to death, before tapping back to safety.

Eventually, Alfie turns his gift to his love life, studying his crushes and going back to make himself more appealing. In time, he falls deeply in love with Gianna, the woman he believes is the one. He seems to find contentment.

But as the years pass, Alfie’s eye begins to wander. Which is when he learns a lone caveat to his power: once he undoes a love, that person can never fall in love with him again. Knowing if he gives into to temptation, he will risk losing what he has with Gianna, Alfie makes a choice that changes his life forever.

The book begins many years later, after an ailing Alfie is arrested for allegedly cheating and winning millions at a casino roulette wheel. As a curious detective interrogates him, he slowly uncovers Alfie’s incredible story, and its most unlikely conclusion.

In Twice, America’s favorite storyteller, Mitch Albom, is at the top of his powers. A love story that is enchanting, probing, and clairvoyant in matters of the heart, Twice will make you think, weep, and overflow with love from beginning to end.

    It’s hard to take something as overdone as time travel and make it fresh and unique, but Albom has done just that. It all unfolds organically through the lens of a detective, giving a mysterious tone even though I would not classify it as such. Every character has depth and every timeline has meaning. I enjoyed all parts of this book, and the ending really solidifies a 5 star rating. It’s more than a love story, it’s a life story.

    “Twice” is one of those rare books that stays with you long after the last page. Beautifully written, emotional, and deeply meaningful, it reminds you how love, loss, and second chances can shape a life. A truly unforgettable read, with a surprise.

    Alfie has a unique gift bestowed upon him by his mother. He has the opportunity to redo any moment in time by simply saying, “Twice”. This will have profound and unexpected implications for him and for his lovely Gianna.

    This book touched my heart… I absolutely loved the main character Alfie… such a genuine representative of what most human beings would be like if we had the ability to re-do any part of our lives that was painful or embarrassing… I just love this book!

    This book was so interesting to me! I liked how it would start to lead you down one path, and suddenly you are on a different path! I had to tune out everything around me and immerse myself in the story; distractions would have me not remembering how we got to the part of the story with the back and forth. A wonderful story about sacrifice, friendship and love!
  • Thank you, Mitch Albom
