Book Review - Opposite of Always

📖Recommend for Grades 8 and up📖
by Justin A. Reynolds
            While visiting the college he plans to attend, Jack meets Kate and the pair spend the night bonding. Over the course of a few months, their relationship is met with ups and downs that end with Kate dying. Then Jack falls downs the stairs at home and wakes up on a different set of stairs, the same stairs he was sitting on when he met Kate. Jack has another chance to get the girl, but with the same ending. Jack finds himself repeating his months spent with Kate until he can get it right.
            A time-traveling love story readers with either love or be bored with. While Jack and Kate are both black, their race is often lost and easily forgotten in the story. Jack can be whiney and annoying at times and isn’t the best leading male, which some readers may understand, but others are likely to get frustrated with. Ultimately, this is a book you need to make your own decisions about.
