It’s the final week of New Reads November 2019, and Jeopardy! champ (and SSR fan!) Emma Boettcher is joining Alli to discuss Opposite of Always, the 2019 debut novel from Justin A. Reynolds. On this episode, Alli and Emma chat about the book’s unique time travel structure, unrequited love within friendships, and the reasons it can be difficult for us as adults to buy into the intensity of young relationships in teen books, movies, and TV. They also muse about some of the bigger questions explored in Opposite of Always: How much is too much to give up for someone you love? What is the real responsibility in supporting someone? How much would you sacrifice in one relationship for the sake of another?
