About this listen

This program includes an author's note read by the author, and a bonus chapter.

From one of the most followed booktubers today comes Again, but Better, a story about second chances, discovering yourself, and being brave enough to try again.

Shane has been doing college all wrong. Pre-med, stellar grades, and happy parents...sounds ideal - but Shane's made zero friends, goes home every weekend, and romance...what’s that?

Her life has been dorm, dining hall, class, repeat. Time's a ticking, and she needs a change - there's nothing like moving to a new country to really mix things up. Shane signs up for a semester abroad in London. She's going to right all her college mistakes: make friends, pursue boys, and find adventure!

Easier said than done. She is soon faced with the complicated realities of living outside her bubble, and when self-doubt sneaks in, her new life starts to fall apart.

Shane comes to find that, with the right amount of courage and determination, one can conquer anything. Throw in some fate and a touch of magic - the possibilities are endless.

Critic reviews

"Again, but Better is a fantastic debut novel! Entertaining, clever and impossible to put down." (Colleen Hoover, number one New York Times best-selling author)

Most relevant

As a long-time reader who has recently been struggling to dive back in, this book was like a breath of fresh air. It was exactly what I needed. It has everything you would expect from a contemporary novel; loveable characters, an idyllic backdrop, fluffy feel-good romance and an exciting twist that makes it all the better! It was the book equivalent of sitting at home in the dark under the covers with a cup of hot chocolate while wrapped in a blanket, Safe and warm. So if you too are looking to get stuck back in, or your looking for a way to venture into the wide world of contemporary novels. I would definitely recommend. Actually- I couldn't recommend it enough.

Thanks, Christine, for writing the book that helped me get through this weeks anxiety xo
