You Again
You Again: A Novel | Debra Jo Immergut
4 posts | 3 read | 4 to read
From Edgar Award nominee Debra Jo Immergut, a taut, twisting work of suspense about a woman haunted by her younger self Abigail Willard first spots her from the back of a New York cab: the spitting image of Abby herself at age twenty-two—right down to the silver platforms and raspberry coat she wore as a young artist with a taste for wildness. But the real Abby is now forty-six and married, with a corporate job and two kids. As the girl vanishes into a rainy night, Abby is left shaken. Was this merely a hallucinatory side effect of working-mom stress? A message of sorts, sent to remind her of passions and dreams tossed aside? Or something more dangerous? As weeks go by, Abby continues to spot her double around her old New York haunts—and soon, despite her better instincts, Abby finds herself tailing her look-alike. She is dogged by a nagging suspicion that there is a deeper mystery to figure out, one rooted far in her past. All the while, Abby’s life starts to slip from her control: her marriage hits major turbulence, her teenage son drifts into a radical movement that portends a dark coming era. When her elusive double presents her with a dangerous proposition, Abby must decide how much she values the life she’s built, and how deeply she knows herself. You Again is an audaciously constructed novel, an unboxing of memory, desire, and regret—and an electrifying portrait of a woman hurtling toward a key crossroads in her life, where a secret lies buried like an undetonated bomb.

An unconventional, disjointed book. There were some profound and relatable truths regarding marriage and motherhood; these turned out to be the only true enjoyment that I attained from this book. I‘m not sure what genre I would class this, I wouldn‘t say thriller. Perhaps psychological mystery? Interesting but not my cup of tea.

This is pretty good. An artist/wife/mother/adult keeps running into her younger self. Is she crazy? Is something wrong with her brain? Or is she really experiencing this? It's actually a pretty fun story about being true to yourself and figuring out what that actually entails.

I only have about 5 books left. Unfortunately 4 of them are nonfiction.

Pub date is 7/7/2020 so I'm late.

TheAromaofBooks I've been having a lot of trouble reading nonfiction lately! I'm just not feeling it!! 4y
vlwelser @TheAromaofBooks But if I finish them I can have new books next month. At least that's what I keep telling myself. 1 of them is 900 pages. I hope it's mostly notes. 4y
TheAromaofBooks Oh my, hopefully it's a topic that sucks you in!! I've been picking up some more “practical“ nonfiction (gardening, cooking, etc.) and I'm able to get through that more easily than history right now. 4y
