I don‘t know about this one. Even though this wasn‘t a super long book, I just felt like it drug on for forever. I honestly kept hanging on for Angel because I loved his character. It game Big Fish vibes at first, but then just fell flat for me. Cool concept. Some interesting things, but overall, I didn‘t love this one.

Eugene claims to have lived several past lives, from Spain and Italy to Oregon and California, and even spent time as a cat in Chelsea. This is a very intriguing story, and I can‘t wait to see #whereintheworld it goes next.

I had never heard of this author or this book and all I can say is..read it now! Not since the Notebook have I felt such a read. Eugene is living out his life in a home and his past life stories are there to back up his long lost loves. I loved this book!!!!❤️. Just read it!

I devoured this #BOTM club book. It kept me guessing as to what was really going on with the main character, Eugene. It overall had a very intriguing premise. Through it all, I loved to love story…the idea of a love that transcends centuries and even lifetimes.

I finished reading about a minute ago, and am typing this review with tears in my eyes. The book ended so beautifully. The story made a lot of twists and turns in its way to the end. It wasn‘t all happy, some parts were very sad and disturbing. This man, Gino, lived quite a life (or lives?). I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and look forward to reading more by this author. I highly recommend this read.

Themes: Epic stories, Multiple timelines, “Big Fish” movie feel (totally agree with you @jdiehr 👍)

This was a very interesting book, at times I felt like there was almost too much going on, but it oddly worked. I keep typing and deleting what I‘ve typed because I don‘t want to spoil anything. I‘m just going to say it was a pick, I‘m glad it was a BOTM option 👍

Two months in a row now, my #botm books have been excellent!

Again and Again is about a man named Eugene who is nearing the end of his life (or, maybe just THIS life) in a nursing home.

BOTM said if you like the movie Big Fish, you will like this book, and I agree 💯

Is Eugene just a batty old man or has he lived multiple lives searching for his true love through them all?

I will be recommending this book again and again...

I was a little lukewarm on the main picks but I wanted My Darling Girl and Again and Again sounds interesting. What did everyone else pick 😺
