Opposite of Always by Justin A. Reynolds

For example, Jack is an only child with loving, doting, slightly dorky parents. As well, the varying family relationships, especially parent-child relationships, are a highlight. Jack’s relationships with his two best friends Franny and Jillian are multifaceted and the different renditions emphasized its endurance. From there, he wrestles with friendships, family relationships, and self-care, and the time loop ends and rewinds upon Kate’s death, totaling a six month span each round. OPPOSITE OF ALWAYS presents the burning questions of many time travel loop novels: If you had the power to change the past, would you, and how? Jack King took me along his journey through time, revisiting the same incidents again and again, beginning at a party where he meets Kate on the stairs and they share a bowl of cereal. 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. However, Jack will learn that his actions are not without consequences. Even if that means believing in time travel. Still, if he has a chance to prevent Kate’s death, he’ll take it. Yet Kate’s death sends Jack back to the beginning, the moment they first meet, and Kate’s there again. Soon she’s meeting his best friends, Jillian and Franny, and Kate wins them over as easily as she did Jack.īut then Kate dies. 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.
