Worldlines by Adam Guest is a fictional novel that focuses on the life of Gary Jackson, his best friend Sinead Obrien, and his girlfriend Michelle Peyton. This particular story delves into the theory of the multiverse, in the sense that many worlds with similar yet different versions of ourselves. The life of Gary is upended by this theory, and he is caught up in a situation that is difficult to explain or comprehend. His life seems to be spiraling out of control, sparking a domino effect that will forever change everything.

The author’s explanation of the many-worlds theory is complex but very accurate. It is backed up by scientific data from well-known scientists like Earl Schrodinger. He carefully explains every aspect of this theory, for example, how one version of Gary survives being hit by a lorry and another suffers grave injuries in the same incident across different worlds. He also highlights the many similarities the different versions of Gary have, from liking the same girl to their love of science and their different approach to life.

The author’s elaborate description of his characters serves as a key selling point for the book. He expertly captures their emotions and characteristics. His writing gives life to the characters, painting a vivid picture in the reader's mind. This allows the reader to understand and even sympathize with them and their different motivations. The use of scientific data and published papers of accomplished physicists and scientists serve to drive home the point that all this might be real, as posed by the theory of the multiverse.

What I liked most about the book was how the author methodically explains the science behind the theory. He uses colorful examples to explain the different versions of his characters to make the story easier to follow. On the other hand, the author constantly repeats the same life story word for word on different chapters making the book seem repetitive, making the story drag on and at risk of the reader losing interest in the book.

I recommend the book to those who love scientific and fictional stories, as this is bound to stimulate one's brain and turn it into an enjoyable read. The book briefly tackles religion in the general sense and does not offend anyone's beliefs, therefore suitable for all readers intrigued by the story. There were few instances of profanities, indicating the book is suitable for mature readers. It is also professionally edited since I found a few errors. Overall, I found the book enjoyable and fun to read, and therefore I give it a rating of four out of four stars.
