Synopsis

Two exes must revisit their past after their siblings start dating in this rom-com perfect for fans of Sandhya Menon and Morgan Matson. A Parade Best YA of the Year!

After Kiran Noorani’s mom died, Kiran vowed to keep her dad and sister, Amira, close—to keep her family together. But when Amira announces that she’s dating someone, Kiran’s world is turned upside down.

Deen Malik is thrilled that his brother, Faisal, has found a great girlfriend. Maybe a new love will give Faisal a new lease on life, and Deen can stop feeling guilty for the reason that Faisal needs a do-over in the first place.

When the families meet, Deen and Kiran find themselves face to face. Again. Three years ago—before Amira and Faisal met—Kiran and Deen dated in secret. Until Deen ghosted Kiran.

And now, after discovering hints of Faisal’s shady past, Kiran will stop at nothing to find answers. Deen just wants his brother to be happy—and he’ll do whatever it takes to keep Kiran from reaching the truth. Though the chemistry between Kiran and Deen is undeniable, can either of them take down their walls?

Devynius Foxx: totally random but

Devynius Foxx: you ever think about how being on this game, playing together here, in a virtual world

Devynius Foxx: is basically equivalent to being a parallel universe?

Kasia Coribund: lol

Kasia Coribund: and here I thought we were staying away from revealing real-world details about ourselves

Kasia Coribund: but now I know the real-life Foxx is 420 friendly

Kasia Coribund: good to know

Devynius Foxx: ha ha.

Devynius Foxx: no but seriously

Devynius Foxx: In class the other day

Devynius Foxx: we were talking about parallel universes, alternate realities

Devynius Foxx: How scientists are trying to prove the theory of the multiverse and all that BS

Devynius Foxx: I dunno, I was barely paying attention in class tbh

Kasia Coribund: wait wait wait

Kasia Coribund: now I know you’re a student!

Devynius Foxx: oh come on

Devynius Foxx: that doesn’t tell you anything about me

Devynius Foxx: I could be a third grader for all you know

Kasia Coribund: true

Kasia Coribund: You definitely act like one sometimes

Devynius Foxx: damn Ms. Kasia, that’s cold

Devynius Foxx: ANYWAY, it occurred to me

Devynius Foxx: What a waste of time, trying to prove parallel universes

Devynius Foxx: I got one right here, in Cambria

Devynius Foxx: Like, in real life, we lead vastly different lives, right

Devynius Foxx: Wholly separate from each other

Devynius Foxx: In real life, I could be a famous actor

Kasia Coribund: Or a third grader

Devynius Foxx: and in real life, you could be a hot nurse.

Kasia Coribund: or a hot doctor

Devynius Foxx: Two strangers who have no way of ever knowing who the other is, or ever meeting

Devynius Foxx: But here, we’ve made a parallel universe of our own

Devynius Foxx: Where I’m a level 50 rogue,

Devynius Foxx: who talks to you, a level 50 warrior, almost every night

Devynius Foxx: no frills, no bullshit, no weight of real-world obligations

Devynius Foxx: a place we can just throw open our trench coats and reveal the bare-naked truth of ourselves

Kasia Coribund: . . . okay but why did you have to make us sound like two flashers competing over territory

Devynius Foxx: and that, my dear Kasia

Devynius Foxx: is why I love this parallel universe so damn much.
