Synopsis

A romantic, mind-bending novel about parallel worlds, soul mates, destiny, and the big-time consequences of even our smallest choices, perfect for fans of The Future of Us and Before I Fall.

Abby Barnes had it all planned out--high school, college, career--but one decision made in her senior year of high school changed her carefully mapped-out future.

When Abby wakes up the morning of her eighteenth birthday, it's as though her past has been rewritten. Abby discovers that a cosmic collision of parallel universes has erased her old reality. Now Abby is falling in love with a boy from her Parallel's memories--a boy she's never even met. She's living the life she always wanted, but what if living her Parallel's life means she loses her soul mate?

From the Back Cover:

Your path changes.
Your destiny doesn't.

Abby Barnes had a plan. The Plan. She'd go to Northwestern, major in journalism, and land a job at a national newspaper. But one tiny choice--taking a drama class her senior year of high school--changed all that. Now, on the eve of her eighteenth birthday, she is on a Hollywood movie set, wishing she could rewind her life. The next morning, she's in a dorm room, with no memory of how she got there. Overnight, it's as if her past has been rewritten. A cosmic collision of parallel universes has left Abby living an alternate version of her life. Abby must race against time to take control of her fate without losing sight of who she is, the boy who might just be her soul mate, and the destiny that's finally within reach.
