Book Review: Opposite Of Always by Justin A. Reynolds

When Jack and Kate meet at a party, bonding until sunrise over their mutual love of Froot Loops and their favorite flicks, Jack knows he’s falling—hard. Soon she’s meeting his best friends, Jillian and Franny, and Kate wins them over as easily as she did Jack.

But then Kate dies. And their story should end there.

Yet Kate’s death sends Jack back to the beginning, the moment they first meet, and Kate’s there again. Healthy, happy, and charming as ever. Jack isn’t sure if he’s losing his mind.

Still, if he has a chance to prevent Kate’s death, he’ll take it. Even if that means believing in time travel. However, Jack will learn that his actions are not without consequences. And when one choice turns deadly for someone else close to him, he has to figure out what he’s willing to do to save the people he loves.

Review:

Jack meets Kate at a party. They hit it off and have four wonderful months before she dies. Jack is given an opportunity to go back in time and change events.

So I did like the way the story started but at times I find the story to be long and drawn out. Even repetitive at times. A large middle part of the story could have been taken out because in my opinion it didn’t enhance the story line at all.

I liked Jack and how he wanted to risk everything for love. I liked his best friends as well. I felt like I didn’t get to know Kate in this story. It would have been nice to have her point of view since she was the one who was going to die. The last thirty pages of the book was good but I felt the ending was rushed.
