Okay, I have been looking forward to this one for almost an entire year now. I absolutely loved the first book in this series, it was one of my favorites of last year, and it contains one of my favorite fictional boys (aka Paul), so I've been waiting with bated breath to see what this second installment would bring. I love the idea of the multiverse, and if that concept interests you at all and you haven't read the first book in this trilogy (I believe) (its called A Thousand Pieces of You), then you definitely should!

What's everyone waiting on this week?

Synopsis: Every Day meets Cloud Atlas in this heart-racing, space- and time-bending, epic new trilogy from New York Times bestselling author Claudia Gray.

Marguerite Caine’s physicist parents are known for their radical scientific achievements. Their most astonishing invention: the Firebird, which allows users to jump into parallel universes, some vastly altered from our own. But when Marguerite’s father is murdered, the killer—her parent’s handsome and enigmatic assistant Paul—escapes into another dimension before the law can touch him.

Marguerite can’t let the man who destroyed her family go free, and she races after Paul through different universes, where their lives entangle in increasingly familiar ways. With each encounter she begins to question Paul’s guilt—and her own heart. Soon she discovers the truth behind her father’s death is more sinister than she ever could have imagined.

A Thousand Pieces of You explores a reality where we witness the countless other lives we might lead in an amazingly intricate multiverse, and ask whether, amid infinite possibilities, one love can endure.
