An explosion of creative beauty and heart, "IN UNIVERSES" by NANA KWAME ADJEI-BRENYAH, author of "CHAIN-GANG ALL-STARS," dazzles and captivates readers with its dazzling and inventive storytelling. Danielle Evans, author of "THE OFFICE OF HISTORICAL CORRECTIONS," praises the novel's ability to capture the essence of queer experiences with authenticity and empathy, making it a tender and insightful read. Raffi, a physicist, spends her days removing stars from pictures of the night sky, dreaming about parallel universes. In one of these universes, she falls for a queer sculptor named Britt, a girl she almost met when they were kids. What if Raffi had said hello? This question propels Raffi across alternate universes, each offering a different answer to the question of what her life might be like if things had happened just a little differently. Each universe is beautiful and dangerous, with apocalyptic landscapes, mothers fracturing into hordes of animals, and glistening sandcastles standing tall enough to live inside. Raffi searches for a life that feels her own, but everything eventually leads her back to Britt: the girl she loved and lost. "IN UNIVERSES" is a kaleidoscopic and tender navigation of love, queerness, and belonging that bursts with imagination and hope.
