What to expect

Physics genius Bethany Raven must find her way back to her own reality with the help of her annoyingly attractive nemesis, in this warm, funny multiverse rom-com, for fans of IMPOSSIBLE by Sarah Lotz and THE HUSBANDS by Holly Gramazio.

'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

***

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:

👩‍❤️‍👨 Enemies to lovers

🌎 Multiverse shenanigans

🔬 Women in STEM

'Smart, lively and bursting with delicious ingenuity, The Diverging Lives of Bethany Raven is way more than an enemies-to-lovers rom-com. It’s a funny, feel-good yet thoughtful examination of who we all are or might be … while treating us to a scream of a rollercoaster ride while we figure it out. This is Sliding Doors on acid!’ JANICE HALLET

n

'An utterly mesmerising, high-concept story that's intelligent and wildly romantic With sharp humour, unforgettable characters and a love story that transcends reality itself. Proof that across infinite universes the most dangerous thing to lose isn’t your life but the people who make it yours' CARON MCKINLAY
