Book Synopsis



For fans of You've Reached Sam and See You Yesterday, this captivating and mind-bending second-chance romance explores what it means to love--even across the multiverse.

Aria Patel likes stability, certainty, predictability. It's why she's so into science. It's why she dumped her boyfriend before they went to different colleges because the odds were that something would go wrong, eventually. In a life that's already so chaotic, why obsess over complicated relationships and shadowy unknowns when the scientific method gives you direction and a straight path to avoid all the drama.

But there's no avoiding anything when Aria finds herself suddenly falling through parallel universes and there's no formula that can save her. She can't explain why she's been waking up in a new reality almost every day, or why Rohan, and a poem from her English class, seem to be following her through every new life.

As Aria desperately attempts to find a way home, she eventually ends up stuck in a parallel world very similar to her own. She cherishes this new version of her family, and she finds herself unable to deny the yearning she has for Rohan...but it's not her life or her Rohan. It belongs to another Aria, another girl, and unless Aria can get back home, she'll have taken this happiness away from someone else forever. And she may never find her own.

This whirlwind novel from New York Times bestselling author Samira Ahmed will whisk you through worlds unknown, all while putting a multiverse spin on one of BookTok's favorite tropes: second chance romance.



Review Quotes




" Ahmed... introduces the complexities of time travel with a surprising accessibility, helped along both by Aria's passion for physics and her witty, charismatic narration. Unabashedly smart and confidently ambitious, Aria is a girl who knows what she wants and what she's capable of."--BCCB

"The rush of the multiple universes and scientific mystery-solving brings excitement to this well-paced story, counteracting Aria's anxious perseveration, and the romantic storyline is sweet.
A heart-pounding coming-of-age story of a girl trapped in the whirl of a 'multiversal tornado.'"
--Kirkus
