In a World Just Right

4.5*
This was a really good book, in a lot of surprising ways. First, it is a very different spin on parallel universes. I can’t fully tell you how, but I will say that Jonathan can create his own worlds, and even the way he named them made me chuckle: “Jonathan-is-a-hero” and “Jonathan’s-smokin’-hot-dance-club”, and of course, “Kylie-Simms-is-my-girlfriend”. Jonathan has been through a lot in his life since his parents and sister died in a plane crash that left him one of only a few survivors, and his ability to create worlds only appeared after the accident. Now, Jonathan mainly splits his time between his real world, and Kylie-Simms-is-my-girlfriend. Only lately, things have been strange- mix ups that seem like the two worlds are overlapping, when they never have before.

Jonathan is quite relatable, even though he is a teenager and a male, of which I am neither. But you feel for him, because of what he has been through and how isolated he feels in the real world. Kylie is a pretty great character too, especially in the real world. I enjoyed her, she was funny, and smart, and it made sense that Jonathan would want to be with her. They even have connections from before the crash, which makes it even sweeter.

Now, the reason I am only doing a mini-review on this one is this: It is impossible to tell you all the great things about this book without talking about spoilery stuff. So you’re going to have to trust me that the story twists into something even more unique and incredibly thought provoking. It’s a lovely story, and there are all kinds of feels, and I definitely recommend it. I wish I could say more, but if you read it, we can talk about it together ;)
