_Love Once Again_, the sequel to Ms. Simon's _Love Once In Passing_ picks up moments after the first book ends. It's Christmas morning in Connecticut and everything's finally going right for Jessica and Christopher when fate decides to deal them a cruel blow.

Just as the celebrations are about to begin, both Christopher and Jessica are swept back in time to the 19th century. Jessica, along with her son Kit, is cast into the life of a serving maid a few miles from her 20th century home, while Christopher winds up in New York, only 40 miles away from his family. Neither knows what has happened to the other and both assume they'll never see each other again. They both pursue new lives but never forget the love they shared.

It's two years before they finally run into each other purely by accident. Jessica's settled into the life of a servant and Christopher has built a successful shipping business and has a new fiance.

Though they are back together, things are far from easy and the road to love is a long and bumpy one.

The book follows the characters right up until the end of their lives, so you're left with no doubt this time whether or not they are able to stay together.

Overall I was glad to see what happened to the characters, though I feel that Ms. Simon wasn't exactly true to the character of Christopher. In this book I really found it hard to like him at all and more often than not I actually hated him.

I do recommend this book if you've read the first one, but once again keep a box of tissues on hand, you'll definitely need them.

A must read to find out what happens to Jessica and Christopher.
One moment she was standing in her bedroom of her twentieth century Connecticut home and the next minute, Jessica and her son are in a cold strange room, she was swept back in time to the year 1812. I could not put this book down.
