Parallel turned out to be so much more than just a contemporary novel.Ībby Barnes was a girl with a plan, and it seemed to all be going perfectly until she had to change her senior year elective. To me it just seemed like a contemporary novel vaguely disguised as if it were something more. Out of all the alternate reality themed ARC's I have acquired within the last few months, Parallel was probably the one I was most skeptical about. When she finds herself falling in love with a boy she knows only from her Parallel's memories, Abby is in a race against time to take control of her fate and set things right without losing sight of who she is, the boy who might just be her soul mate, and the destiny that's finally within reach.

With the help of Caitlin, her science-savvy BFF, Abby discovers that this new reality is the result of a cosmic collision of parallel universes. The next morning, she's in a dorm room at Yale, with no memory of how she got there.Overnight, it's as if her life has been rewritten.

Now, on the eve of her eighteenth birthday, Abby is stuck on a Hollywood movie set, wishing she could rewind her life. But one tiny choice - deciding to take a drama class her senior year of high school - changed all that. She'd go to college, major in journalism, and land a job at a national newspaper, all before she turned twenty-two.
