Parallel - Softcover

Parallel is one of the most exciting and exhilarating books I've read in a long time. (...) it kept me on the balls of my feet the whole time. Shriya Samani --Children's Bookclub, Booktime

What if you woke up to a new life every day? A collision of parallel universes leaves eighteen-year-old Abby Barnes living two lives - and sharing them with her double. Two worlds. Two guys. Two selves. Abby's real life ('Here') comes with a Yale address, a new roomie, and a birthday blind date with a super-hot lacrosse player. It's perfect. But in the parallel world ('There'), Abby is still navigating her senior year classes at high school, college applications, and her relationship with Astronomy Boy. A boy 'Here' Abby has never met.... Abby soon discovers that every time her parallel makes a new decision, Abby is forced to cope with the consequences of waking up in a life she has no memory of creating. How will she stay in control? And how does someone keep a grip on their identity when every day it might change? Both witty and insightful, this story explores the nature of self, the role of cause and effect and the defining power of choice.
