All Over Again By Lynette Ferreira is a good, and enjoyable sweet teen and young adult romance read. The story has a good story line. The characters are good, and they have good chemistry. This love story is heartbreaking and beautiful romance read.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I stumbled across author Lynette Ferreira and was pleasantly surprised. I was captivated from the start of My Recycled Soul to the very last word. I love her writing and her characters are meaningful to the storyline and interesting.
As the title suggests Elizabeth is reincarnated, but obviously she does not know this and no, she does not realize this throughout the story (as none of us really know if we are or are not reincarnated) yet she does come to realize that everything happens for a reason and I (as the reader of this story) realized while I read this book that long ago when my own soul was created, my life (or many lives) were already predestined. Although many people would not agree, I like to think that there is a purpose to my life and I am working through all the mistakes to the end result (whatever it may be). This was a real feel good book and amazingly written.

If all-consuming love and soulmates are relevant to your interests, this short story might be too.

The story is sweet, the writing is pretty, but it's just not my taste. I'm a subtle love kind of reader, I don't like it to be too in-your-face, and I don't like obsession.

Devlin is crazy obsessive over Elizabeth, so a lot of the focus of the story is on that.

The ending's pretty strange, and abrupt, so I had to rate this lower than I first intended. Though, I have read that this is a deleted scene from a full-length novel, so that may be reasonable. Also, some parts of this story are confusing, which I figure is for the same reason -- you're not reading this story from the start unless you read the novel.

This is a beautifully-flowing paranormal romance short story, with just the right elements of dreamy romance and fantasy intricately combined, creating an atmospheric reading experience.

I also liked the fact that the story has much vivid description in terms of milieu, and suitably places the characters within this environment.

After reading this short story, I now want to find the full book. I really want to know how it all started and why it has come to the end. I think the full book would be one of the books that I would read over and over again.

It was an interesting story, with ideas and hints at a greater world that I enjoyed. I felt that the dialogue wasn't as smooth as other parts of the story, which did diminish my enjoyment a bit. All in all, I would recommend this story if you like romance and don't depend on dialogue for immersion.

For a short story, it has a promising beginning, then quickened its pace little too much for my liking at the end. Could of described the relationship between them prior and what happened between Elizabeth and Jarrod back before her coma.

Heartbreak/beautiful

This is a love story with a tragic twist, do we love the same soul throughout the centuries? Can we love another in a different life? Heartbreaking yet beautiful another good short story by this author

An interesting short story, could use some polishing.
My main reason for less stars was the ending was not well explained at all and I was left scratching my head.

Short read. What will happen when Elizabeth wakes from her coma? Will she be able to choose between the two guys. Her soulmate or her love frombefore the accident life? I did feel there was something missing from this story.

Short story. Not quite sure what I just read. I think this is a prequel to another story? I just kinda felt out of the loop.

I found it on Instagram where I follow the author. I thought the description was evocative.

I liked that the story had a dream-like quality. There is a walk in the forest by the lovers, Elizabeth and Devlin which left me intrigued as something was determined to keep the lovers apart.

The only thing I didn’t like was that I didn’t understand what the story about. I questioned what had gone on before and wasn’t sure what the end meant.

Overall, it was beautifully written but it’s not a standalone. This short read comes between books one and two of the of Recycled Souls series. I’m sure this story will be a delight and urge you on to read the next one.
