Description

In this follow-up to The Colliding Worlds Of Mine Lee, a boy discovers he can travel into parallel worlds to be with his girlfriend. But each time their paths collide, the fabric of their universes frays a little more. Is their love worth the unraveling of reality?

"Sincere, smart, and meta...."-Soman Chainani, author of THE SCHOOL FOR GOOD AND EVIL series

Jin's whole world been turned upside down. Since meeting Mina inside her webcomic, Jin has discovered unbelievable things about his life:

1. He's been living in a parallel universe.
2. His birth mother didn't abandon him.
3. He'll never be able to see Mina again.

But then the impossible happens--Jin teleports to Mina's world. But with every visit, cataclysmic weather threatens Jin's world. And a mysterious lab seems way too interested in testing Jin's new teleporting ability. Is Jin ready to risk it all for the girl he loves?
