Twice

What if you got to do everything in your life-again ? Mitch Albom's newest novel is a stunning love story about a life of second chances, and how our unchecked temptations may cost us everything we've had all along. When he is eight years old, Alfie Logan discovers the magical ability to get second chances. 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 takes wildly foolish risks to see what it's like to tempt danger and even death. Eventually, Alfie turns his gift to his love life, redoing moments to make himself more appealing to his many crushes. In time, he falls deeply in love with Gianna, the woman he believes is the one. But as the years pass, their relationship is challenged.
Alfie's eye begins to wander. He had been warned of a lone caveat to his power : if you undo a love, that person can never fall in love with you again. Knowing if he gives into temptation, he may risk losing what he has with Gianna, Alfie makes a choice that changes his life-and Gianna's life-forever. The book begins many years later, after an ailing Alfie is arrested on suspicion of cheating to win millions at a casino roulette wheel.
As a grizzled 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 height of his powers. A love story that is enchanting, probing, and clairvoyant in matters of the heart, Twice will make you smile, weep, think about your own second chances, and overflow with love from beginning to end.
