A second chance romance across parallel lives

Aria Patel relies on science and predictability, but waking up in different parallel universes leaves her without a reliable way to understand what is happening. Rohan and a poem from her English class recur across these lives, linking the multiverse premise to the relationship she once ended before college. When Aria finds herself in a world with a family she cherishes and a Rohan she longs for, the romance is complicated by the possibility that this life belongs to another Aria. The book brings contemporary young adult romance together with questions of identity, choice, and what it means to love someone across different versions of a life.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in contemporary romance
  • Readers who enjoy second-chance romance with a parallel-universe premise
  • Readers interested in stories that connect romance with questions of identity and choice

Book overview

★A Locus Award Finalist!★

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.
