One-Sentence Summary:
Twice is a love story about a life of second chances, and how our unchecked temptations may cost us everything we've had along the way.
I really enjoyed this book. I liked the characters, although I was confused by some of their actions. There was a bit of disconnect for me. Not much, but enough that I noticed it.
My takeaway is that I should learn from my mistakes, instead of wishing to go back in time to change them.

I've read two of Albom's other books, Tuesdays with Morrie and The Stranger in the Lifeboat, and really enjoyed them. Sounds like this one is worth a try. :) Thank you for sharing this post with us at the Will Blog for Comments #77 linkup. :)
ReplyDeleteI think you'll enjoy it! I did, and I think the concept is really interesting! Would you go back and relive a moment in your life if you could? I really don't know if I would or not! But the story here is very good, and I think you'll really like this one.
DeleteThanks so much for stopping by! Come back soon!
