Description

Sometimes one universe isn't enough.

Kara Cuesta, wife and mother of two teenage girls, struggles to heal her dysfunctional family. In another universe, Pandora Garnett, geriatric tech executive, fights to prevent World War IV.

In their quest to create a better future, Kara and Pandora navigate a stunning array of alternate universes, each with unique challenges and dangers. But their missions appear impossible—until their universes connect. With nothing but their skills, courage, and two small stones, they persevere, discovering that the greatest obstacles often come from within, and true healing requires both strength and vulnerability.

With its fascinating cosmology, gripping action, and unforgettable characters, Perpendicular Women is a stunning debut that will leave readers questioning the very fabric of our reality and the limitless potential of the human heart.

Featured Reviews

Thank you to Netgalley, the publishers and of course the author for gifting me this advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review.

This was a really interesting sci-fi read and I must admit it was the cover that initally drew me to the book!
The story follows two FMC Kara and Pandora who set on a quest to create a better a future in their own parallel universes. It was full of action and adventure and was brilliantly written, definitely left me with questions and a long lasting impression.
