A Thousand Pieces of You: Firebird #1 by Claudia Gray

Every Day meets Cloud Atlas in this heart-racing, space- and time-bending, epic new trilogy from New York Times bestselling author Claudia Gray.

Marguerite Caine’s physicist parents are known for their radical scientific achievements. Their most astonishing invention: the Firebird, which allows users to jump into parallel universes, some vastly altered from our own. But when Marguerite’s father is murdered, the killer—her parent’s handsome and enigmatic assistant Paul—escapes into another dimension before the law can touch him.

Marguerite can’t let the man who destroyed her family go free, and she races after Paul through different universes, where their lives entangle in increasingly familiar ways. With each encounter she begins to question Paul’s guilt—and her own heart. Soon she discovers the truth behind her father’s death is more sinister than she ever could have imagined.

A Thousand Pieces of You explores a reality where we witness the countless other lives we might lead in an amazingly intricate multiverse, and ask whether, amid infinite possibilities, one love can endure.

Can we talk about this cover? I know I’m maybe missing the point by talking about the cover of A THOUSAND PIECES OF YOU before anything else, but I love it. I love covers that have lots of white. But I also love that this cover has lots of other colors, too, and WHOA, WHAT IS THAT CITY ON THE FLIP SIDE THERE? Incredibly stoked, just from looking at it.

A THOUSAND PIECES OF YOU sounds fantastic, though. Parallel universes always bring out the extreme nerd in me. Plus this murder sounds like more than meets the eye for sure, and THAT intrigues me to no end. I’ve never read a book by Claudia Gray, but I’m very excited for A THOUSAND PIECES OF YOU to be the first.

A THOUSAND PIECES OF YOU comes out November 4, 2014 from Harper Teen
