*Given this book for a HONEST Review in exchange for copy of book provided by Author*After reading this book, I'm going to give this book 4 Stars! When I initially started reading this book, I have to admit it left me a bit confused. With that being said I decided to keep moving forward, waiting for the “Wow” factor! As the book progressed the story started to come together for me.The Prologue introduced us to Alexandra (Allie) Tate, she was leaving her shrinks office feeling like a new women with a new resolve. Finally being able let part of herself go from all feelings of hurt and guilt involving Ben. Allie’s Shrink mentioned which is now one of my favorite lines in life."Be Happy"Then this book will take you back 19 years to where it all started. From the first meeting, you can see Ben and Allie (Alexandra) had chemistry with one another. Jake is also in the picture, and he seems to be infatuated with her as well. You can already sense a Love triangle coming on. Just by Jake's muttering.Ben wasn't my favorite character mainly because he comes off as a "JOCK" type jerk. Even with his overbearing statements when he calls her for their first date. He doesn't give her the option of “no”. Just says he was taking her to breakfast without waiting for an answer. Ben did have some good traits so not all are bad points for example when he makes statements like the one below to Allie.After everything Allie went through, I couldn't help but swoon over Jake, so...my question is: Did Jake and Allie end up together or was it just her and Ben till the end?!?!I don’t want to tell you who said it, you will have to read the book to find out!! It’s long story, I admit but I personally think it is worth the read!! I may not re-read Twice In A Lifetime again, but I am glad I received the pleasure of being introduced to Twice In A Lifetime by Ruthie Henrick.My absolute favorite quotes in the book would be:"A dimestore novel? Is there sex in it?" "What do you say we write our own?"
