So she races after Paul through different universes, always leaping into another version of herself. But she also meets alternate versions of the people she knows—including Paul, whose life entangles with hers in increasingly familiar ways.

3.5 "You are not my Marguerite. And yet, you are. This essential thing you share - your soul - that is what I love. I would love you in any shape, in any world, with any past. Never doubt that." A Thousand Pieces of You is a book with a 5-star premise, unfortunately laden with a few core issues that drag down my rating. Marguerite is the daughter of two genius physicists inventing a machine that allows consciousness to jump through parallel universes. Meg's father is killed for his research, soSometimes, all you can do is cry happy tears. I mean, look at that cover, it is incredible. All I wanted was for the story between the pages to be just as good, to live up not only to the awesome cover design but to the hype. And man, did it deliver.I think A Thousand Pieces of You is definitely my favorite Claudia Gray book. It kind of reminds me of All Our Yesterdays and Dissonance. It is an intricate story that keeps you on your toes. Since the beginning of the story me and my friend Lexie
Holy cow, A Thousand Pieces of You was a serious ride.What works so well in this book is that author Claudia Gray sets up the very complex world building, then spins philosophy, art, mystery and romance around it. There are so many threads here to think about, and the story deftly switches between them. Except for a bit of confusion and clunkiness I felt at the beginning with all the exposition (this book really does start in media res), the story flowed smoothly, with a ton of twists and turns.

Don't get me wrong, I've read a couple of Claudia Gray's books and enjoyed them, but what the fuck is this? Marguerite's parents are geniuses who built a device called the Firebird, that allows people to travel to parallel universes. But then her father is murdered and their assistant Paul is the only suspect. But wait, he also stole the Firebirds! So Meg joins her BFF Theo (who also works with her parents, how convenient) in a quest for revenge. Don't get too excited though, it's less:or
Cover of my dreams, I am sorry butDNF. At 53%.Let me summarize you the story:Basically, theres Marguerite Paul And their love story.Oh, and Firebirds that can transport people to alternate universes, in the background. Marguerite is searching for Paul, whom she thinks killed her fatherbut turns out he did notand she believes that without any proof.The romance overdrove the plot to a point that I could not take it anymore. Especially since that was not supposed to be the main element of the
Absolutely stunning. Absolutely unique. Ahhhhh,
