Cuando su madre murió en un terrible accidente ferroviario, la vida de Alaric Underwood empezó a desmoronarse. Dos años después, a la edad de 16, todavía no ha superado la pérdida. Sin embargo, en el aniversario de la tragedia, Alaric tropieza con una realidad alterna en la que su madre ha sobrevivido el accidente. El problema es que en esa realidad él no existe. Allí, su lugar lo ocupa una chica llamada Naia que está viviendo una vida que debería haber sido la de él.

I found this book to be really hard to follow and rather boring. No matter how many times I tried to sit and read it, it never caught my attention. ( )

I really love the concept of this book, although to be honest thinking too much about how it only takes the littlest thing "a crack in the line" to derail our lives really cant be good for my anxiety. The idea of alternate realities is done well and I liked the main characters and the differences (and similarities) of how they dealt with the situation. The setting comes through very strong and the snowed in house where the story takes place was easy for me to imagine. It probably didnt hurt that it was snowing while I was reading though. Looking forward to continuing the series. ( )

This book is about how if you are in a life or death situation, two realities are created, one where you lived and one where you died. The book is about how two kids find out about the realities, and they are each from a different reality. ( )

A Boy named 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.They are One and the Same, and 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.
