Each book in The Replay series features a different member of the rock band Downward Spiral, getting a second chance at romance and happiness. This one allows us to see Lincoln getting his second chance with his childhood best friend, Jace, who was also Lincoln’s first boyfriend. There is a certain amount of struggle for them to get over past hurts and betrayals, but it was necessary that they go through that first in order to make a new start together. I somehow missed this book in the series but in my defense the order differs depending on where you look for it. Since the stories are told of the individuals and not continuing events it really doesn't matter that much. The books all take place in the same time frame so there is an endless opportunity for the scenes to be told from different perspectives or to leave us wondering from one book to the next until we get the whole story behind a scene we already read about. Hope that makes sense. The stories are well written, and the characters all have very distinct personalities...some more likeable than others. Jace was a sweetie, and I think of the five books in the series I found myself rooting more for things to go right for Linc and him than any of the others. ( )
