A GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK • AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
What if you got to do everything in your life—twice? The heart of Mitch Albom’s newest novel—charmingly narrated by Mitch himself—is a stunning love story that dares to explore how our unchecked desires might mean losing what we’ve had all along.
When he is eight years old, Alfie Logan discovers the magical ability to get a second chance at everything. He can undo any moment and live it again. The one catch: he must accept the consequences of his second try—for better or worse.
He grows up correcting his mistakes and saving himself from adolescent embarrassments. He even takes foolishly dangerous risks, just to see what it’s like to come close to death, before tapping back to safety.
Eventually, Alfie turns his gift to his love life, studying his crushes and going back to make himself more appealing. In time, he falls deeply in love with Gianna, the woman he believes is the one. He seems to find contentment.
But as the years pass, Alfie’s eye begins to wander. Which is when he learns a lone caveat to his power: once he undoes a love, that person can never fall in love with him again. Knowing if he gives into to temptation, he will risk losing what he has with Gianna, Alfie makes a choice that changes his life forever.
The book begins many years later, after an ailing Alfie is arrested for allegedly cheating and winning millions at a casino roulette wheel. As a curious detective interrogates him, he slowly uncovers Alfie’s incredible story, and its most unlikely conclusion.
In Twice, America’s favorite storyteller, Mitch Albom, is at the top of his powers. A love story that is enchanting, probing, and clairvoyant in matters of the heart, Twice will make you think, weep, and overflow with love from beginning to end. And what better way to experience this story than through the delightful audiobook, narrated by Mitch himself.

5By F690I have read all of his books. I’ve been a big fan and he is one of my favorite authors. Not trying to be prisoner of the moment, but this may be my favorite of all his books. What a great love story and this is coming from someone that does not like romance novels. The story was so creative and the relationship between the two main characters was well developed by the author and believable. Don’t hesitate to download or even buy a hard copy of this book. Timeless. Thank you Mitch for a wonderful book.Mitch ALBOM is a genius with words
5By kaykaybean13And… he does it again. I’ve had the distinct pleasure of reading every book Mr. ALBOM has written or I should say, published, and every time the heartfelt emotional experience is one that is the core of all his writing. He has such a profound gift to reach into the deepest depths of humanity and the experiences that we all have been through and somehow flawless ly describes and portrays his characters as genuine human beings who we’d love to spend more time knowing and continuing on their journey while connecting, bonding and feeling emotionally tied to the characters their story, their experiences and journey. This is Albom’s gift and brilliance, the innate way he can delve deep into the emotional connection of humanity and describe such genuine real life experiences that all those reading can not only relate to but they also feel profound connections and emotions when experiencing the unique effects that his genius brings forth and power that his words can emit from our emotions, reactions and actions while engrossed and immersed in his magical and spiritual awakening that all of his writings have developed into for myself and I’m certain to all who take the time to have such a beautiful experience and a mindfulness that carries on long after the book is over and is used to apply it to my own life and practice the spiritual emotional and positive energy that is brought forth from his many written words that I am blessed to know. Thanks to Mr. ALBOM for sharing his gift and for being so spiritually inspiring and emotionally connected to humanity and the many experiences we all have had or will have that may not be exactly alike but are all repeatable when compared and lived through, and shared with one another. We are at our best when we reach out to our fellow humans and acknowledge their existence and validate their feelings and generally this is the main theme throughout all of his work and it is beyond uplifting and empowering. I do not have the gift of Mr. ALBOM so the words to describe my experience after reading his work, fails me, but it is an immense and profound gift that he has and to say I adore his talents and his abilities is obviously an understatement. Well done per usual.
