Author’s Synopsis:
Boy
Alaric's life has unraveled in the two years since he lost his
mother in a terrible train crash. He and his father are barely speaking, and
their home, Withern Rise, is in shambles.
A Girl
Naia tries not to dwell on the accident that nearly killed her
mother two years ago, now that life with her parents at Withern Rise has
returned to normal.
One and the Same
Alaric and Naia do not know each other, or that they are living
nearly identical lives. But when they meet, their resemblance to each other is
unmistakable. As their lives entwine, they uncover a truth that has the power
to rearrange, or even erase, their very existence.
My review:
This is the type of book that I can
reread thousands of times and still never tire of. As soon as I picked it up, I couldn’t put it
down. The beginning was slightly confusing
because the author shifts between the two major characters and their respective
realities. However, my initial confusion
soon turned into a deeper interest in the story and my discovery of its true
originality. At the end of the first
book, I was glad to see that this is part of a trilogy. The author cleverly continues this story and
keeps the reader’s attention. The world
of Lawrence’s trilogy contains an everlasting number of realities, containing the
same people with different fates. This idea
was brought to a whole new level in the sequels of this novel. I highly recommend this story to anyone looking
for an interesting read.
