”Brilliant, original, and sure to leave you shoving a copy into someone”s hands so you can talk about it” JODI PICOULT, #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR
The women of the Novak family were each born with a gift: they can, just once, turn back time.
Lauren has known since she was fifteen that her mother Marcella saved Lauren”s father from a deadly car accident. Ever since, her power spent, Marcella has lived in fear of what she won”t be able to reverse. Her own mother, Sylvia, is her polar opposite: a free-spirited iconoclast with a glamorous past she only hints at. Lauren has spent her life between these two role models – and waiting for her own catastrophe to strike.
Then one summer, Lauren”s husband takes a job in New York and she moves back into her childhood home on the shores of Malibu. Lauren looks forward to surfing with her dad again and perhaps repairing an unspoken fracture in her relationship with her mother. What she doesn”t expect is for the boy next door to return home as well: Stone, Lauren”s first love, who broke her heart nearly a decade before.
As Lauren falls into familiar patterns, with her family and, more dangerously, Stone, she finds herself thinking about all the choices, large and small, that have brought her to this moment. And wondering, finally, if one of them should be undone.

Review quote:
Every now and then I read a novel that makes me jealous, because the author has come up with a concept so
breathtakingly unique and has executed it so cleverly that I am angry I didn”t think of it first. ONCE AND AGAIN is one of those books:
brilliant, original, and sure to leave you shoving a copy into someone”s hands so you can talk about it
Review quote:
Once and Again is a
tender and achingly romantic story about first love, second chances, and those moments we all have where we wonder ”what if?”
Evocative and escapist, this beautiful novel about family, connection, and the choices that make us who we are
will transport and enthral you from the first page to the last
