A review by jasminesimone
Opposite of Always by Justin A. Reynolds
4.0
This is a great debut novel for Justin Reynolds. It is a wonderful read about love, relationships, and time-travel.
Jack King has been in love with his best friend, Jillian for a very long time, but when she starts dating his other best friend, Franny, he has to hide those feelings. Then here comes Kate. Jack meets Kate at a party while he is visiting a college campus. The book actually doesn't start here, but instead gives us a glimpse at a moment when Jack has once again gone back in time to try to save Kate.
The story asks a very thought-provoking question: what would you do if you could go back in time? Jack continuously tries different solutions to get better results and over and over again he fails. The fact is that he continues to try. This story is not extremely heartbreaking, but it definitely is a tale of what someone will do for those that they love. Jack proves towards the end that he wants to help everyone achieve happiness.
