They Both Die at the End meets You’ve Reached Sam, in this “superb…thought-provoking” (Booklist, starred review) speculative young adult novel from New York Times bestselling author Robbie Couch that explores all the different ways love can live on after tragedy.

It’s been one year since eighteen-year-old River Lang’s best friend died in a car accident. And every day since, he’s had to pass by the depressing billboard that appeared as a result: a texting and driving PSA that reduces Dylan to a cautionary tale. Dylan was so much more than a statistic, though, and River hates that everyone in town seems to have forgotten.

When he’s caught improving (a.k.a. vandalizing) Dylan’s billboard, River is blackmailed into joining the Affinity Trials—a research study that’s observing teens who are “struggling socially.” As soon as he arrives though, River is thrown together with the last person he wants to spend an entire week with: his ex-best friend and Dylan’s former girlfriend, Mavis, who’s the only one who knows the truth about the night Dylan died.

During the Trials, River befriends a charming quarterback named Nash, and it doesn’t take long for romantic feelings to start bubbling to the surface. But bizarre developments within the Trials make him wonder what the researchers are actually studying as they monitor his every move. And when suspicions lead him to a bombshell discovery, River will have to decide just how far he’s willing to go for another chance at first love.

I can’t go into detail without spoilers, so I will just say I simply could not stop listening to this. Both narrators were excellent. I can’t believe I finished it in under 2 days. Incredible story, I will miss the characters now that I’m done.

Easily the best thing that Couch has written

Another First Chance is another winner from Robbie Couch.
I don't think I even read the blurb when Robbie announced this book- having read, and loved, his previous books I had no doubt I'd enjoy this one as well, no matter the storyline.
And enjoy it I did. It was such a captivating premise and kept me engaged throughout. And it hit me in the feels. especially at the end when I found myself almost having to pull over I was crying so much.

The narration was excellent and I'd highly recommend listening to the audiobook. Michael Crouch can do no wrong in my ears, and Briggon Snow is wonderful as River. It makes me so happy when narrators sound age appropriate for the characters, and these two were cast perfectly.

Entertaining and engaging.

Very well written and performed. Highly recommend for fans of these types of stories. If there is ever an American BL TV series movement like they have in Asia, this story is one is likely to turn into live action show.
