A love story across possible lives

Working on a Christmas film in a small town, wardrobe assistant Mattie Bridges feels unsettled even before she discovers a passageway in her closet. It opens onto alternate versions of her life, each shaped by different careers, circumstances, and sometimes romances. Back in her own reality, Mattie is also navigating feelings for coworker and actor Austin Farrow, while professional boundaries and past trauma complicate the prospect of a relationship. The multiple timelines give the romance a speculative frame, linking questions about the lives Mattie might have led with the choice she faces in the present.

Book overview

In this enchanting tale of modern love and timeless romance, a young woman's extraordinary discovery whisks her away to alternate timelines--a multitude of possibilities, a singular love story.

Disconnected and listless, Mattie Bridges is fraying at the edges. Working as a wardrobe assistant on a charming Christmas movie in an even more charming small town should be a balm to her turmoil. But she still can't find her footing.

And after getting lost in her own closet, her life--or more accurately, her lives--becomes a lot more unsteady.

Following a passageway hidden behind her clothes hangers, Mattie uncovers a portal to all the paths her life could have taken. Each reality sees her in a different career, different headspace, and sometimes, a different romance.

Meanwhile, in her current reality, she's trying to untangle her feelings for her coworker, charming actor Austin Farrow. Between professional decorum and past trauma, Mattie doesn't feel ready to explore that story further.

But if she's been paying attention, she might see that her multiple realities aren't that different after all. There's a common thread running through them, and Mattie needs to decide whether to knot the thread, or let it unravel.
