'Really, really good … It’s such a great idea and I’m so jealous she came up with it because I wish I’d written this book. It’s so good!’ LUCY VINE

'Smart, lively and bursting with delicious ingenuity’ JANICE HALLETT

Just when she thought she had everything figured out…

Waking after a career-defining breakthrough, physics genius Bethany Raven expects to find her multiverse theorem written in the notebook by her bed. Instead, the pages are blank … and her new flip-flops are white rather than the beige she remembers buying with her sister, Cesca.

At first she shrugs it off, but then certified lazy-girl Cesca calls from the gym at 7 a.m. and Bethany can’t deny something is seriously wrong. She’s skipping through alternate universes, trying on other Bethanys’ lives, other Bethanys’ increasingly diverging lives. And with each skip, her relationship with Cesca becomes more and more distant.

Desperate to find a way home to her own world and her own Cesca, she’s forced to seek out the only person who might be able to help. Shame he’s her bitter rival – the cocky-as-all-hell darling of the physics world, Tyler Adams. But when Tyler turns out to be very different to the man she thought she hated, Bethany discovers that working with him to get back to her reality might not be all bad …

Perfect for fans of:

❤️‍🔥 Infuriatingly attractive arch nemesis

🌎 Accidental multiverse shenanigans

👩‍❤️‍👨 Enemies-to-lovers

🔬 Genius women in STEM

👯‍♀️ Soul sister bonds
