ARC Review: Once, Again, Always by Amanda Gayle

Publication Date: October 6, 2026

Molly and Aster’s story in Once, Again, Always captured my heart and held onto it tightly. There’s such power and beauty in stories with memory loss and loved ones finding their way back together. This story was beautiful and heartfelt and so raw and honest in all of the very best ways.

There was something so beautiful about how Molly and Aster’s journey includes her falling in love with him for a second time. While there is optimism throughout the book about her getting her previous memories back, I really enjoyed the fact that her connection was strong enough to form again a second time. The patience and kindness that Aster shows throughout this book truly speaks volumes about his love for Molly- both in the past and in the present.

Once, Again, Always has such a special place in my heart. Molly and Aster’s story is so tender and loving even amidst a time of hardship for them. I loved this book so very much, and it truly is the kind of story that lingers with you well past turning the final page. 

Thank you to Avon and Harper Voyager for the opportunity to read and review this book! I received a free advance copy of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions expressed are my own.
