In this novel full of surprises from the New York Times bestselling author of We Were Liars and Genuine Fraud, E. Lockhart ups the ante with an inventive and romantic story about human connection, forgiveness, self-discovery, and possibility. If you could live your life again and again, what would you do differently? After a near-fatal family catastrophe and an unexpected romantic upheaval, Adelaide Buchwald finds herself catapulted into a summer of wild possibility, during which she will fall in and out of love a thousand times - while finally confronting the secrets she keeps, her ideas about love, and the weird grandiosity of the human mind. A raw, funny novel that will surprise you over and over, Again Again gives us an indelible heroine grappling with the terrible and wonderful problem of loving other people. 'E. Lockhart has done it again in this twisty, inventive, philosophical, and romantic story about the many ways a person can find, lose, and understand love.' GAYLE FORMAN, #1 New York Times bestselling author of If I Stay 'My favourite books are those that are hilarious, poignant, utterly unique and brimming with realistic, loveable characters (preferably including dogs). This book doesn't just have all these elements. It has them in multiple universes. I loved it.' JACLYN MORIARTY 'E. Lockhart is one of our most important novelists.' JOHN GREEN 'Wonderfully illuminating...' Booklist, starred review 'A lyrical read that's also fun...' School Library Journal, starred review 'Lockhart takes her penchant for plot twists to a new level...' Publishers Weekly 'An offbeat, philosophical love story...'

Adelaide is walking dogs, her summer job, when she sees a boy. She remembers him. She met him long ago, at a party in Boston. She tells him he wrote her a poem. He remembers that he often writes people poems, but he doesn't remember writing her a poem...
And that's the way this wonderful, surprising, quirky story goes, page after page of possibilities, of what could happen, what might happen, stories of hope, stories of despair. A completely fresh approach to a novel.
