Twice: A GMA Book Club Pick

Read for a book group and really enjoyed thinking about the implications of being able to have limited "do overs"! Premise gets a bit far fetched at the end, but overall a good story.

Mitch Albom is a joy to read. Grateful for another solid book to enjoy reading.

A fun story to read.

What if you got to do everything in your life again? Would you? Another great book from Mitch Albom. He is a master storyteller. I just loved this! The story begins with the main character, Alfie, being interrogated by Detective LaPorta over his $2 million win from a casino in the Bahamas. Alfie remains calm and insists he did not cheat. Rather, he wants LaPorta to read his composition book that will explain everything. Alfie is writing to his "boss" who isn't revealed until almost the end of the story. As the story unfolds, the detective becomes more skeptical, yet I became more curious. Of course, you need to suspend belief in this great tale of 2nd chances.

When Alfie was only 8 years old, he learned he had a special gift that allowed him the ability to get second chances. He can undo any moment and do it again. The catch-if you undo a love, that person can never fall in love with you again. Throughout his life, Alfie has used this gift to save himself; correct mistakes & embarrassing moments, even tempting disaster and death. He eventually turns his gift to his love life. In time, he falls in love with Gianna and believes she is the one. As their relationship faces challenges, Alfie makes a choice that changes his life-and Gianna's life-forever.

This is a story about second chances, it is thoughtful, unique, suspenseful. But at its core, it is a love story.

Audio. Not my cup of tea. Boy has a gift where he can go back and redo a moment in his life, but can one moment once.
