About this deal
Caught in a loop, condemned to experience the same 24 hours over and over, Spence tries to prevent the terrible events of the party. Exceptional … a careful, thoughtful, compulsively readable examination of toxic masculinity and normalised sexual abuse. When Spence wakes up to the same day again and sees Clara, the girl who died, alive and well, it’s clear he’s been granted a second chance. This novel is a reminder of how fiction can be an ideal space for exploring philosophical questions … I am glad this superb book exists. Spence and Anthony have been friends for years, but it’s only when he witnesses a classmate die in what looks like a tragic accident at a house party that a flicker in the fabric of time helps Spence ‘see’ Anthony for the first time.
