Publisher Description

On a foggy Monday in 1986, the universe suddenly, without warning, bifurcated. Fast-forward to 35 years later: Felix Sayers is a culinary writer living in San Francisco of Universe A who spends his days lunching at Coconut Cafe and dreaming of penning an Agatha Christie-style mystery. But everything changes when his Aunt Henrietta dies, leaving Felix a photograph of his father and himself--dated ten days before Felix was born. It can only mean one thing: Felix has an 'alter' in Universe B. Panicked that his mystery novel may exist already, Felix crosses to San Francisco B and proceeds to flagrantly violate the rules of both worlds by snooping around his alter's life. But when he narrowly escapes a hit-and-run, it becomes clear that someone knows he's crossed over... and whoever it is isn't happy about it. Now Felix must uncover the truth about his alter, the events of one Monday, and a wayward rubber duck before his time in both worlds runs out.

"I checked this book out for an experiment with the Kindle's new owner lending library. It was much better than I expected! Trying to get used to what was going on in universe A and universe B got a little confusing at times, but on the whole it was an interesting take."

    " The themes in this book are right up my street. I should have loved it. Parallel Universes, mystery, even a bit of existentialism kicking about this book. Sadly I thought it was a waste of a cool premise. I was BORED. "

    " Not at all a bad book. While I can't say that it was anything fantastic, it was distinctly and weirdly pleasant book. I'm trying not to damn it with faint praise but it was just...nice. It had an intriguing concept and a mostly likable protagonist. I found it a little meandering but not enough to make lose interest. "

    " Interesting and comprehensive view of alternate universes theory what could be have been an incomprehensible premise. I love the little details and how they all tie back to each other between universes. "

    " I came across this, like many others, on a kindle sale and was intrigued by the title. It was a nice read, clear, although got a little dull at times, however it just wasn't astounding. Still a good book that I would recommend. "

    " Not my usual read so I'm not sure if it's not very good, or just not my thing. Sci-fi requires a buy-in I'm not sure I'm willing to give it--too many holes, too many things that don't line up. Skips from A to C as if nobody will notice B got left out. "
