Again Again is a YA contemporary story that takes place over summer and follows our main character Adelaide, a high school girl about to begin her senior year at a private school. Heartbroken and somewhat depressed, she's spending her summer as a dog walker. Her boyfriend has just unexpectedly dumped her and left the country; she's failed to turn in a major project for one of her classes, which could cause her to be expelled, all while trying to come to terms with her feelings about her brother's drug addiction. Over the summer, she encounters some new people, some of whom may or may not become a new love interest.
What's unique about this book is that certain events in this book are played out in several different multiverses, each resulting in a different outcome. In other words, we see Adelaide's story play out in a variety of different ways. It's kind of like seeing her story unfold in parallel universes where there are numerous versions of herself. She makes different decisions in each multiverse, falls in love with different people, and has different conversations about the same topics.
This aspect was unusual, in that it allows us to contemplate the "what ifs" in our lives, and look at how changing one decision or saying something differently could change the outcome. Even the smallest of changes can affect how things turn out.
