Parallel
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. How will she stay in control? Every time her parallel makes a new decision, Abby is forced to cope with waking up in a life she has no memory of creating. Abby’s real life (‘Here’) comes with a Yale address, a new roomie, and a birthday blind date with a super-hot lacrosse player. 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. Both witty and insightful, this story explores the nature of identity, the role of cause and effect and the defining power of choice.
