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—charmingly narrated by Mitch himself—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. And what better way to experience this story than through the delightful audiobook, narrated by Mitch himself.

I couldn't put it down

Thank you for the pleasant surprise. well written and relatable. An unbelievable context in the most Believable of deliveries.

Another great one!

As I started this book I wasn’t sure I was going to like it. I needn’t have worried. It’ wonderful!

a love story that is so different but familiar

This story kept me on the edge of my seat all the way to the end. True love is about being present in the moment and being there for those we love. Mitch Albom weaves a story that tells about a man's journey to discover how to love and give love freely. To quote the author, I want, and you want, and God does what God wants. Because The Truth About True Love is that it can wait a lifetime. Or two.

I highly recommend this book.

The life lessons it examined.

I enjoyed the story line and character studies. It stirred many emotions and memories of times I wish I had the twice gift.

Warm fuzzy

This book was quite a change from the psychological thrillers that I usually read. The main qualification I have for any book or movie I enjoy is that I should not be able to predict the ending. This filled the bill and was a very enjoyable listen.

The love story and 2 changes…

I love this book! Make sure the love your person ever second of every DAY!

Never Miss a Chance

My friends say I am such a tough reviewer of books and movies, but I really LOVED this book! I think we all have moments in our lives where we look back and think what could have happened if we took a different road in our life. But Mitch Albom sets the example with this book...in matters of the heart, love always deserves a second chance.

My Twice

It’s funny to realize the symbolism as I write this. It took me just two days to devour this book and I’ve officially attempted my second “Twice”. Sadly, to no avail. My first twice was early this morning, with my young daughter nestled into me sleeping peacefully. I wished to go back to sleep, have the whole night to relish in rest and her sweet body pressed into me. I closed my eyes tight, imagined lying in bed last night and thought ‘twice’. Nothing. ‘Twice!’ Nothing again. ‘TWICE!’ I opened my eyes to the morning light. Maybe I needed to say it out loud, I didn’t try. My second twice came after finishing the Epilogue. What I would give to read this again and again and again.
