Everything repeats.
You. Your best friend. Every person you know.
Many worlds. Many lives--infinite possibilities.
Welcome to the multiverse.
Sixteen-year-old Sasha Lawson has only ever known one small, ordinary life. When she was young, she loved her grandfather's stories of parallel worlds inhabited by girls who looked like her but led totally different lives. Sasha never believed such worlds were real--until now, when she finds herself thrust into one against her will.
To prevent imminent war, Sasha must slip into the life of an alternate version of herself, a princess who has vanished on the eve of her arranged marriage. If Sasha succeeds in fooling everyone, she will be returned home; if she fails, she'll be trapped in another girl's life forever. As time runs out, Sasha finds herself torn between two worlds, two lives, and two young men vying for her love--one who knows her secret, and one who thinks she's someone she's not.
The first book in the Many-Worlds Trilogy, Tandem is a riveting saga of love and betrayal set in parallel universes in which nothing--and no one--is what it seems.
My thoughts: I love the sound of this one---parallel universes and an epic fantasy, plus I've always heard really great things about Anna Jarzab's writing. Gorgeous cover, too!
Gosh! Look at this gorgeous cover! It is sooo pretty ! Haven't seen this book around so thanks for featuring it today!!
ReplyDeleteSounds very cool - parallel/alternate universes seem to be quite the 'it' thing in YA these days - I've been noticing more and more books with that theme lately. Very cool cover too! You always have the best WoW finds, Miss Becky! :)

ReplyDeleteI have never read a book with 'parallel worlds' before - seems to be something that keeps popping up lately too! Sounds good! And I really like this cover too!

I am all about alternate worlds and parallel universes - this is something Diana Wynn Jones and Neil Gaiman (and many others) have done very, very well. TANDEM sounds great - I can't wait to read it! Nice pick.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. Unique concept. I always appreciate that.
ReplyDeleteInteresting cover and read.

LOVE the cover. And I'm a huge fan of parallel world stories as well! I'm not sure if I'd enjoy the love triangle, but it looks like it's still going to be a pretty interesting read. Plus, I have to mention it again, but seriously-THAT COVER. Thanks for sharing and stopping by :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the way the whole parallel universe theme sounds. It's definitely original + that cover?! Signed and sealed. Added to my TBR-list. Thanks for sharing (:
