The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August

by Claire North

Recommended by Curt. When Harry August dies, he is reborn to relive the same life, although he can change things. And there are other people like him, called ouroboreans, who form a secret organization called The Cronus Club. Young ouroboreans can pass messages into the past by telling them to old ouros on their deathbeds, who will die, start over, wait a few years, and then tell the next old ouro, and so on. Parts were a little slow, but I really enjoyed the ending (and the lead-up to it). I read the last hundred pages today, pacing in the cold on the back porch to get some quiet (the kids were being loud) for the last 30 pages or so!
