When Laurel Everett stumbles upon an engagement ring hidden in her boyfriend Ollie’s drawer, she is overwhelmed and not with joy. As questions swirl about the future she’s chosen, her mind drifts back to a pivotal moment five years ago: the night her former colleague, Drew, asked her out, and she said no. But what if she had said yes?
Thanks to AltR, a groundbreaking tech project at her company, Laurel doesn’t have to wonder. She can actually step into a fully immersive simulation of the life she might have lived with Drew.
As Laurel toggles between two versions of her future, with Drew in the simulation and Ollie in ‘real’ life, her journey becomes far more complex than choosing the right man. She explores a deeper question of identity: what does she truly want with life?
WHAT IF IT’S YOU is a captivating sci-fi romance that seamlessly weaves together elements of speculative science, heartfelt emotion, and personal growth.
Author Jilly Gagnon introduces complex ideas like quantum superposition but grounds them in clear, accessible language that never overwhelms the story.
At its heart, the novel thrives on the chemistry between its characters. Laurel’s emotional journey—her love, confusion, and aching vulnerability—feels palpable on every page, drawing readers deep into her inner conflict as she navigates parallel possibilities and her own evolving sense of self.
