In the novel Twice, we follow Alfie Logan, a man who, as a boy of eight, discovers he can relive any moment of his life by uttering the word “twice” and rewriting what happens—provided he accepts the new outcome forever. He spends his adolescence correcting embarrassments, flirting with death for thrills, and eventually using his gift in pursuit of love with Gianna Rule, the woman he believes is his one true match.

As Alfie grows older, he wanders, driven by temptation and the belief that a second chance can perfect everything—only to learn the hard truth: the one thing his gift cannot restore is a heart once undone. The story opens many years later with Alfie under arrest in the Bahamas for a suspicious casino win, and through a detective’s interrogation and a journal of his life he has written, we trace the beautiful, heartbreaking, and impossible journey of a man who can live life twice—and must live the consequences.
