Twice in a Lifetime by Melissa Baron
5.0
I was not sure what to expect when I started this (and I must admit that the content warning at the beginning had me a little wary), but I am so glad that I read this. This was hard to read at times, but it was beautifully done.
Everyone compares this to The Time Traveller's Wife, but I agree with another review I read that compared it to The Lake House. I loved that movie, and I got major "Lake House" vibes from the setting, characters, and even the main event of this book. I found the ending to be bittersweet... but it fit the tone of the book, and I think it was a good ending for the story.
Ultimately, this is not your typical romcom, and it can be quite heavy at times, but I think it is definitely worth reading.
