The problem is that the book is too long. Jarzab does a great job supporting the science of her story and making the Tandem and analogs and other elements convincing and plausible.
Chaos ensues.Īlthough the premise is clever and appears in lots of other books and movies, I couldn’t shake the similarity between the two.Īlternate universe stories are always interesting in terms of setting and this one is no exception with an alternate Chicago that is markedly different even with eerie similarities. While the framework is original, the story is nothing so much as a riff on The Prisoner of Zenda–amovie that’s been made several times where a man is recruited (unwillingly) to pretend to be the king of Ruritania when the real king is kidnapped. Tandem is the first book in Jarzab’s Many Worlds trilogy.
Thrust into a life that isn’t her own, Sasha has to play the part of a princess in a world that shouldn’t exist if she ever wants a chance to return home in Tandem (2013) by Anna Jarzab. Suddenly all of the theoretical things Sasha has learned from her grandfather about alternate universes are painfully real. Grant isn’t Grant and, after receiving a strange gift, Sasha isn’t in her Chicago. Then prom is over and things start to go horribly wrong. After years of pining for Grant, it seems like Sasha’s dreams are finally coming true. Sasha is beyond thrilled when cute, popular Grant Davis asks her to prom.
