Review
An e-arc of the book has been provided by the publisher, Penguin Random House International, in exchange for an honest review.
Can we just talk about how relatable Adelaide’s problems are? Not just her relationship problems, but her mental and family issues. Not taking into consideration the way the story is, the entire novel is just beautiful, raw, and extremely realistic.
E. Lockhart never really fails to deliver with her writing style. The way this novel is written is poetic; it’s like listening to an open-mic poetry contest, consuming every words the poet say, digesting and feeling bits and pieces of information and just feeling it.
What I did not like about this book is how it was executed. I think that the pacing was curious and the concept is interesting, but there is a weirdly difficult cadence with the story; although I think that is what makes this book unique and gorgeous.
Simple but complicated, this book will destroy you. Ready yourself for the raw emotions that this book will put you through and strengthen your mind for all the things to come. Again Again is not just about a family, it’s about staying true to yourself and being brave. It reminds us that we shouldn’t bottle our problems up, else we become a ticking time bomb ready to explode any second of the day.
