Overview
“A character study at its most heartfelt.” —Chloe Gong, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Immortal Longings
In this captivating and poignant adult debut, estranged twin sisters are thrown back together after a birthday wish triggers a journey across the multiverse.
Two estranged twin sisters. One who left. One who stayed.
Astoria and Grace Sadiya share a past, but their presents couldn't be more different. Seven years ago, after a massive fight, Astoria left home and never looked back while Grace stayed with their parents in New York. They haven't seen each other since.
Until their twenty-fifth birthday, when they blow out their candles and make the same wish—only to wake up in an alternate universe together.
Stuck traveling from universe to universe, Grace wants nothing more than to return to her own world, despite her growing fear that her parents will only ever see her as a burden. Meanwhile, Astoria is desperate to find a timeline where her first love unquestionably reciprocates her feelings. Unable to move through the multiverse without each other, the sisters reluctantly join forces in hopes of locating a universe where both their wishes come true.
But the longer Astoria and Grace spend together, the closer they come to confronting the secrets and suffering of their childhoods, and the pain and betrayal of the night Astoria ran away. Can the sisters accept that they are reflections of one another, two halves of the same whole, when neither of them likes what they see in the mirror? And after seven years of festering silence, can they find their way to a universe where they have unconditional love and each other—or are their paths destined to always run parallel?
