Before and Again is the story of how one split second can change your life in unimaginable ways, but it also the story of healing, acceptance, starting over and coming home. Mackenzie Cooper takes her eyes off the road for one moment, and that moment alters her life to be unrecognizable. Five years later, she has recreated a life for herself as Maggie Reid in Devon, Vermont. She likes the existence she has created and is beginning to like the person she is becoming when she is thrust back into the media spotlight and drawn into a scandal involving her best friend's son. To make matters more complicated, both her estranged brother and ex-husband have arrived in Devon and Maggie feels that her past might be coming full circle into the new life she has created.
I did enjoy this story but, for me, felt at times it was somewhat drug out. There was also a little too much romance for me, however I typically don't read many romance novels. I appreciated the way the author dealt with Mackenzie/Maggie coming to terms with her grief and the journey that the character took. I also felt the subplot of the hacking scandal was interesting and compelling. I feel this book would probably be a five star read for many, but for my personal reading tastes, it was closer to a 3.75 stars.
