Synopsis:Everything repeats.You. Your best friend. Every person you know.Many worlds. Many lives--infinite possibilities.Welcome to the multiverse.
Sixteen-year-old Sasha Lawson has only ever known one small, ordinary life. When she was young, she loved her grandfather's stories of parallel worlds inhabited by girls who looked like her but led totally different lives. Sasha never believed such worlds were real--until now, when she finds herself thrust into one against her will.
To prevent imminent war, Sasha must slip into the life of an alternate version of herself, a princess who has vanished on the eve of her arranged marriage. If Sasha succeeds in fooling everyone, she will be returned home; if she fails, she'll be trapped in another girl's life forever. As time runs out, Sasha finds herself torn between two worlds, two lives, and two young men vying for her love--one who knows her secret, and one who thinks she's someone she's not.
The first book in the Many-Worlds Trilogy, Tandem is a riveting saga of love and betrayal set in parallel universes in which nothing--and no one--is what it seems.
My Thoughts: What first attracted me to this book was that awesome cover! I am so glad YA is starting to move away from 'the girl in the pretty dress' and things are looking more literature-esque. After dragging my eyes away from the cover and finally reading the synopsis I got super excited because I also love books about alternate dimensions, needless to say I'm crazy excited about Tandem!
Love alternate dimensions and the idea that we might be living a million different versions of our life in a million different dimensions. Really boggles the mind to think about LOL

Yes, yes, yes. I want this sooo badly. Alternate universes seem to be all the rage, but this one looks more fantasy-like so I REALLY want it. Also, I have an extreme case of cover love ;)
