SYNOPSIS

A psychologically intimate novel about the patterns we return to in love — even when we believe things will be different.

Tess Harding has always believed that this time, things would be different. But somehow, she keeps finding herself in the same place.

After a series of relationships that leave her more uncertain of herself than before, she makes a last-minute decision to leave Australia and travel to South America — convinced that distance might offer the reset she’s been searching for.

But far from home, the past proves harder to outrun than she imagined.

As new connections begin to echo old patterns, Tess is forced to confront the relationships that shaped her, and the choices she’s made within them.

Because no matter how far she goes, she finds herself in the same place — again.

Again is a psychologically intimate novel about self-deception, longing, and the tension between self-awareness and behaviour.
