Come Again appealed to me as a middle aged woman, but I also loved the time traveling (really) bits back to university life, which were totally reminiscent of my youth. It made me laugh (a lot) cry (ditto) and I cheered on our heroine Kate in her quest to save her husband and to beat a gang of Russian gangsters. (Again, really!)
This book is mad, but good mad. I would definitely recommend it, for men and women of all ages. It would also make a really good film.
Thank you to #NetGalley, the publishers and the author Robert Webb for the opportunity to review #ComeAgain

'And being in love is when you truly live in the present: when every moment is a discovery, every tiny detail is pregnant with meaning. Grief though... grief is the opposite of meaning; grief is where the present can't breathe; where the past is everywhere you look; where every new moment is dead on arrival.'

Kate's husband of 28 years, dies suddenly. She is truly struggling to live without him. Pushing away everyone, losing her job and letting her house descend into chaos, she decides she doesn't want to live on this planet anymore without him. The following day she wakes up in the past, on the first day she met Luke.
.
If you're looking for a fun heartwarming read to pull you out of the darkness, this is the book for you. I had no doubt in my mind going into this one that it would be full of laughs, Webb effortlessly portrays British humour at it's best. Kate is a badass, a Karate champion with a sharp tongue; she takes crap from nobody. Yes this is a story about grief and heartbreak but is also about learning to overcome loss and opening yourself up to love again.

This one is due to be released on April 23rd and I can't recommend it enough. Thanks so much to Canongate for the gifted copy

This debut novel from comedian Robert Webb centres on widow Kate and what happens when she wakes up as her eighteen year old self about to meet her husband for the first time ... again.
I enjoyed it until around 3/4 of the way through until the ending which felt completely rushed, out of the blue and completely unrelated to the rest of the story.
