A multiverse novel about two women who fall in love despite living in worlds that are five
months apart as they try to find a timeline that doesn’t end in disaster in this debut novel
by Annie Mare. Tressa Fay Robeson has never been shy which is how she’s made a name for
herself as an in-demand hairstylist and social media star. So she can admit that spending her
days at her hair salon and her nights with her tight-knit group of friends (and one grumpy cat)
is not the kind of exciting life she’d hoped for. When a misdirected text from a stranger
leads to a flirty exchange she surprises herself by suggesting an impulsive meetup. But the
woman Meryl never shows. Tressa Fay brushes it off—until Meryl’s sister and friend show up at
the salon demanding to know what’s going on. Because you see there’s no way Meryl could have
texted her. Meryl has been missing for a month. Tressa Fay and her tight-knit group of friends
soon discover they aren’t dealing with a catfish but a temporal paradox. As they come to terms
with the idea of parallel universes they realize how many times their paths have crossed like
this before. But even as they understand the multiverse more and more nothing keeps Meryl from
vanishing. As it draws closer to the moment of Meryl’s disappearance there’s only one
question left: Have they done enough to change the outcome or have they done so much that none
of them will make it past that fateful day in September?
