Parallel

By Lauren Miller | Publisher: HarperCollins

About the book

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?


  • Choices and Consequences: One small decision in her senior year of high school changes everything. But when Abby wakes up in a life she thought she wanted, she must decide if it's the life she's meant to live.
  • Soul Mates Across Universes: She's falling for a boy she only knows from her parallel self's memories. But what happens to the person she was supposed to love?
  • Mind-Bending Science Fiction: A cosmic collision of parallel universes isn't just theory—it's Abby's new reality, where every choice creates a ripple she can't control.
  • A What If Story: Perfect for teens who love to ask \"what if?\", this romantic YA novel explores the paths not taken and the surprising journey that results from a detour.
