Description
Two worlds. Two separate identities. Two guys. A collision of parallel
universes leaves 18-year-old Abby Barnes living a new reality \- every time
her parallel makes a new decision. Never-without-a-plan Abby is forced to
cope with the consequences of waking up in a life she has no memory of
creating. With chapters that alternate between our world (Here) and the
parallel one (There), Abby's Here comes complete with a Yale address, a new
roomie, and birthday blind date with a super-hot lacrosse player. In the
parallel world, Abby's still navigating senior year class schedules,
college applications, and her relationship with Astronomy Boy at her high
school. This story explores the nature of identity, the role of cause and
effect in young lives and the defining power of choice.
