Opposite of Always by Justin A. Reynolds
4.0
Thank you to My Kinda Book and netgalley for sending me a copy in exchange for an honest review.
content warnings: disease, death (over and over again), absentee parents, grief
Jack meets Kate at a party at a college, and after some serious courting they eventually start dating and go to Homecoming together. Then Kate dies. She had a very serious disease and didn’t tell Jack about it. In a fit of grief, Jack accidentally falls down the stairs and bumps his head. When he wakes up he’s gone back to the few days before he met Kate and the story starts again. But this time he tries to change things.
This was definitely an interesting read. I watched Groundhog Day a fair few times growing up as it always seemed to be on telly. And this book is obviously very reminiscent of that, however this is over a lot longer period of time. It’s also like Groundhog Day in that there isn’t really an explanation for why the time loop happens. It just does. Unless I’m misremembering Groundhog Day.
