Twice

Mitch Albom’s Twice embraces a wishful premise: what if one could revisit any moment of one’s life and try again? The protagonist discovers that by uttering the word 'twice', he can return to a past point and redraw the outcome. Albom’s prose is warm and accessible, but the conceit risks undercutting tension. Still, the emotional moments — the ache of regret, the longing for do-overs — shine through with typical Albom tenderness.
