An explosive new novel by the author of the National Book Award-winning Challenger Deep and the New York Times best-selling Arc of a Scythe series, about the limited ways we see our world - and how a jolt out of the ordinary can upend the universe.

Hope, here for 70yo me in the guise of YA.
Hey. A good story is a good story, even if I’m not the intended audience.

Exactly the story i needed.

If you like Neal Shusterman, you will like this. If you’ve never read Shusterman, go read Scythe or Dry instead of this one.

I’ve read about half of his novels and novellas - this one falls somewhere near the middle for plot and more heavy handed than most as far as social commentary. It was definitely worth my time even though its not my favorite :)

Here’s the mild spoiler:

The back cover synopsis of this book is so vague it’s useless. It is a multiverse/dimension shifting story. I’m not sure why that couldn’t just be in the synopsis since it’s a very minor, early reveal but there you go. If I didnt like everything I’d already read by Shusterman there’s no way I would have picked this up. Even as it was, it stayed on my TBR list a long time because without more context I couldn’t decide what mood it would be right for.

The “sports” tag also put me off. Its a factor, but definitely not enough for me to call this a “sports” novel at all. It is much more focused on relationships and interpreting the nuances that informs lens through which we each see the world.

Typical Shusterman *mild spoiler?*

Neal Shusterman does it again. His writing 😍 I don't even know what to say. Important moral issues are easily weaved into the story, forcing the reader to think. Forcing me to look at these issues in a new light while being insanely entertaining.

😍😍😍

Human and social commentary. Not what I consider political like other reviewers have said, but a recognition of how blind we can be even when we think we’re woke. Creative way of having a protagonist really walk in someone else’s shoes.

Great story and very thought provoking. I went in blind just knowing I liked the authors other works and was pleasantly surprised by the ride. Having read the scythe series before coming into this one I was surprised that it deviated away from expectation but I was not disappointed. Strongly recommend and can’t wait till my kids are old enough to read it.

A thought provoking rollercoaster

I’m sorry that I didn’t read this book sooner! I LOVED every moment of it. It is the perfect book for the day and time we are living in. Anyone who calls this book “political” doesn’t understand that equality and tolerance is NOT POLITICAL! ✌🏽❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🤍🖤💗

Great listen. I feel like Neal is a millennial at heart, this is a woke masterpiece full of twists and turns and jaw dropping revelations about the nature of our reality and the way people change with the world around us. I’m going to read this at least as many times as scythe(s). Love the Edwards

Amazing book

I loved this book. It was complex and kept me hooked. I know there are several negative reviews - if you’re conservative with maybe not the highest tolerance for different races, sexual orientation, etc, you may not like it. Otherwise you will probably really enjoy it!

So good!!

narrator's did a good job...
Loved each version of Ash, but I think when Ash became Ashley he would have done some exploring or had some quips at least...

Another Neil Shushterman fave!
