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.
My Review
I absolutely loooooved this book. This book definitely received a 5 star rating for me, it was that good.
I started this book with low expectations since I've heard mixed reviews of it, but I have to say I was really impressed with how this one turned out! I'm so glad to have started this on a whim because it was such a fast read (I'm annoyed at how long this book to me because of my procrastinating habit!).
The world does require a bit of getting used to since it does involve parallel universes and it did overwhelm me when I first started but by a few chapters, I was able to get the pace and universe jumping.
I have to say that I did end up loving the characters, at first I thought that I couldn't connect with the characters but as the story progresses, I warmed up and understood where each characters were coming from! I was really impressed with the main character's character development throughout the plot too, I have a feeling that she would be one of my favorite character as the story progresses!
Two words.
The
Romance.
With this gif fest, I think it's safe to summarize my feelings about this book. This is such an awesome start to something extraordinary and all of you just have to pick it up!
It is so worth it.
