again, again | e. lockhart
⭐⭐⭐.5/5
.
Again, again is the story of Adelaide, a young girl who's in the throes of her first ever major break up. She's living at boarding school where he Dad teaches whilst her Mum is at home with her brother who has a LOT of his own troubles. It's summer, and in amongst her heartbreak, she might have fallen in love with Jack.
.
This story is different to anything I've ever read before. We're told the story, but we have interludes of 'what might have been' if she'd played situations differently. It's very sliding doors. It's about heartbreak and love, but it's definitely not a romantic novel either.
.
I quite enjoyed this. It was an easy quick read. I have no point of reference for this in comparison to other books by the same author. I have many on my TBR pile that I've just not gotten around too.
