After his mother's death in a train wreck, Alaric discovers an alternate reality in which a girl named Naia shares a parallel life with him, living in the same house with the same parents, though her mother was only injured, not killed, in the accident. The complexities of this fascinating premise are expertly explored in a thought-provoking novel with an enigmatic conclusion.
