Replay by Ken Grimwood
Ever wonder what it would be like to live your life over again, while still knowing what you know now?
Jeff Winston gets to find out. He's 43, unhappy at work and at home. He's on the phone with his wife, when he dies. Then he wakes up in his 18 year old body in his college dorm with all his memories of the next 25 years intact. What changes should he make, what things should he do?
But when he hits that day again at 43, he dies again. And wakes up again. Replaying his life.
But during one replay, something new happens - he finds someone else who's replaying too. Can the two of them figure out what's going on? And what can they do with their knowledge of what's going to happen?
