Worldlines by Adam Guest was an amazing 347-page novel. It follows the life of a man named Gary and the possibility of many worlds that can intersect. The book explores the complicated aspects that many worlds can present. Such as every decision you make affects your life, and other worlds exist where you choose the other option.

The main character is a man named Gary. In the first world, we meet Gary, and he is a successful man married to the girl of his dreams. In the second world, he has serious injuries that he obtained when he was young. As a result, he is married to someone else. The action begins when the second world Gary commits a crime in a lucid dream. A lucid dream is when you drift between consciousnesses, and you can learn to influence other worlds. This crime affects the other Gary’s life. Now, the second world Gary has to figure out how to send a message to the other Gary and help him not get punished for a crime that, in essence, he didn’t commit. The real question becomes, how can you prove the impossible in a court of law?

There were many aspects of the novel that I really enjoyed. For example, the book was very well-formatted. At the beginning of each chapter, it specifically states which Gary was being discussed. This helped make the book easier to follow. The book started out with a very bold statement about death that served to immediately pique my interest. The author then did a great job developing the character and setting before there was any action. It was also really cool to see the similar events and even dialogue between the worlds. Since it was different Gary’s though, the conversations were slightly different. The book had a really unique ending that I did not expect at all. The book was really well-edited with only a couple of errors. I look forward to reading other novels by this author.

There wasn’t really anything I didn’t like about the book. Overall, I thought the author did a great job developing an interesting and memorable novel.

Due to the reasons stated above, I rated this book a 4 out of 4 stars. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes complex plotlines and science fiction. There was no sexual content, so this book would be appropriate for thirteen and up.

It was also really cool to see the similar events and even dialogue between the worlds.

Ditto. One of my favorite aspects of this book was stumbling upon the exact same dialog in a different setting in another worldline. And I also loved the communication between the same character in different worldlines.
Thank you for your take on this read!
