Have you ever wanted to change the past and discover the result of choices not taken? Now, in this brilliantly fun novel of what-ifs, missed chances, and new beginnings, Frankie McKenzie discovers what starting over might bring...Despite living firmly in her comfort zone, Frankie McKenzie feels unsettled. She can't help feeling something's missing. Is it a home to call her own? Travel? A more rewarding job? A relationship? Before she can work it out, she dies in a freak kebab-related accident after what she sees as yet another dud of a first date.But life isn't over for Frankie. Instead, she is miraculously offered a second chance: Frankie can revisit key moments from her past to see if different choices will lead her to the fulfilling life she's always dreamt of. And there are so many opportunities! Should she decide to languidly lounge by warm Mexican waters with sexy Raphael? Or say yes to the proposal of earnestly reliable university-sweetheart Toby? Perhaps a worry-free gilded cage with Callum is the solution! Or what about that high-powered media career she thought that she wanted? Soon, Frankie will see what her life would have been if only she'd caught that one-way flight, accepted the marriage proposal, or attended the intimidating job interview. Will she finally find her Mr. Right? Or discover she already had? Which way should she turn? And over and over she asks herself the question...What would she change if she could begin again?

I was looking for a book to fill my time between other reads and randomly came across Begin Again by Helly Acton. I loved it and the message it gets to by the end. Love yourself, appreciate the good things and take charge of your own destiny. The book starts out with Frankie ditching a potentially bad date and then dying right outside by a freak accident with a kebab.

RedxoHearts Frankie is a bit jaded on life and just overall unhappy with the things she doesn't realize she has. Next thing she knows she is being offered the chance to live 5 different alternate lives for 24 hours. They all represent major life changing points in her life that has left her with all the what if questions. Then by the end she has to finally make a choice in her life and follow it where it takes her. 1mo
RedxoHearts Frankie slowly realizes the life lessons they had been showing her all along. I really enjoyed it and thought Frankie was a fairly relatable character. The ending was really cute. I'm always a sucker for happy endings. #LitsyLove 1mo

Errands are better with a book.

julesG Definitely. But now you've reminded me that my car might benefit from a visit to the garage too. 4mo

Apropos of nothing, I think this is the third book of this title that I've read in the past few years. [Full review to come . . . hopefully.]

Wishing a belated Happy Publication Day (yesterday) to author 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐧!

𝐁𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐧 𝐀𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧 is going with me on vacation soon, courtesy of Bibliolifestyle & Avon Books. It sounds perfect to read by the pool, laughing at & contemplating along with Acton's main character, Frankie, what, if anything, I might change about my life if I could begin again.🤔Would you change any part of your past if you could?
