Have you ever wished you could go back in time and relive some key moments of your life? Knowing how things would go, haven't you begged for the opportunity to make a different decision and change the course of your life?

That's the 'gift' that Alfie has. Alfie can live any moment in his life Twice - the only catch is he must accept the consequences of his second attempt, for better or worse. The only other caveat is that once he undoes a love, he can never reclaim that love again.

We first meet Alfie in a police station, being questioned about his casino winnings after successfully placing the winning number on the roulette wheel three times in a row (you know you would, right?). On being questioned, Alfie hands over a notebook telling his life story, from growing up in Africa, to living in America, all the people he has met and all the experiences he has had (some more than once!).

Through this notebook, we follow Alfie's incredible story as well as learning how he ever came to be in the police station. This is a remarkable book from a brilliant author which deals with love, guilt, regret, family and asks, what would we change in our lives if we ever could?

I'm gutted that I didn't like this as much as I wanted to. I'm a huge fan of Mitch Albom, and his previous works (including the beautiful Five People You Meet in Heaven) will always be a staple on my bookshelf.
However, I struggled with Twice. I didn't feel connected to Alfie, the main character, and didn't feel the emotional impact that I have come to associate with Mitch Albom's work. I enjoyed the concept of being able to repeat certain choices and events, but Alfie's story didn't resonate very closely with me.

Mitch Albion has done it again! One again he presents us with a gorgeous and unique concept that makes us questions the value and decisions of our lives. This was a beautiful concept of having second chances at things and while it sounds great in theory why it’s not always such a good idea. I loved it!
