This was such a hard book to read. Ashley’s husband, Charlie, has been in a coma for almost a year and to read about her heartache was difficult, luckily Asha has a wonderful support system in her father and best friend Bridget. Just as she settles into a routine and gains acceptance, her first love, Jason arrives back on the scene and it brings up memories of the past for Asha, and not all of them are good memories.

This was an exceptional debut. I love the author’s writing style it was very realistic and flowed wonderfully. I liked getting to know Asha in both incarnations. The younger part of her story was a lovely coming-of-age tale and her current timeline was heartbreaking yet hopeful at the same time.

I loved that the author showed the different ways we grieve and how it isn’t linear. Although there are two men that Asha loves this is not a love triangle, but an exploration of the different kinds of love. Full of humour and wit Then, Again will take you on a journey of love, loss and hope. I won’t soon forget this one. All. The. Stars.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the Advance Readers Copy.
