6 Oct, 2025
Summary
- Protagonist Alfie Logan can undo moments in his life and relive them
- His ability leads to risks, especially in his love life
- Alfie recounts his story to a detective after being arrested for a casino scandal

In Mitch Albom's latest novel, Twice, readers are introduced to Alfie Logan, a man who discovers he has the extraordinary ability to undo moments in his life and relive them. The story begins when Alfie is just 8 years old, and as he grows older, he becomes increasingly comforted by the promise of a second chance.
Alfie's power leads him to take more risks, especially in his love life. He falls for a woman named Gianna, but as his wandering eye develops, Alfie learns a crucial limitation of his ability: when he restarts a relationship, the other person can never love him again. Years later, after being arrested for an alleged cheating scandal in a casino, Alfie recounts his entire story to a curious detective.
The author, Mitch Albom, known for bestsellers like Tuesdays with Morrie and The Five People You Meet In Heaven, says the "biggest lesson of this little novel is that even if you had the magical ability to do everything in your life a second time, it wouldn't necessarily be better, especially when it comes to love." Twice was recently selected as Good Morning America's October book club pick, and it is now available for pre-order, wherever books are sold.
