A Love that Spans the Multiverse

Books of Wonder is proud to host the launch for NY Times bestselling author SAMIRA AHMED's newest YA novel, The Singular Life of Aria Patel! This whirlwind novel will whisk you through worlds unknown, all while putting a multiverse spin on second chance romance. Joining her in-conversation is GAYLE FORMAN, author of After Life. 

About the Book

Aria Patel likes stability, certainty, and predictability. It’s why she’s so into science. It's why she dumped her boyfriend before they went to different colleges because the odds were that something would go wrong, eventually. In a life that’s already so chaotic, why obsess over complicated relationships and unknowns when the scientific method gives you direction and a straight path to avoid all the drama?

But there’s no avoiding anything when Aria finds herself suddenly falling through parallel universes without any scientific formula to save her. She can’t explain why she’s been waking up in a new reality almost every day, or why Rohan, and a poem from her English class, seem to be following her through every new life.

As Aria desperately attempts to find a way home, she eventually ends up stuck in a parallel world very similar to her own. She cherishes this new version of her family, and she finds herself unable to deny the yearning she has for Rohan…but it’s not her life or her Rohan. It belongs to another Aria, another girl, and unless Aria can get back home, she’ll have taken this happiness away from someone else forever. And she may never find her own.
