What do you think happens to our consciousness when we sleep? Have you ever wondered about having different versions of yourself in different worldlines? If truly there were several worldlines, does it mean we dwell in a multiverse rather than a universe? In this science fiction book, Worldlines, the author used the theory of Many Worlds to narrate Gary Jackson's life in several worldlines.

Gary Jackson is a 21-year-old physics student at the University College of Southern England. Gary has had a very good life, filled with dreams and love from his family, girlfriend, and best friend. But all these came crashing at his best friend's 21st birthday party. Gary stabs his girlfriend, Michelle, and was knocked out by one of the witnesses. He wakes up confused and without any memory of the crime he committed.

He claims that he didn't murder Michelle despite all evidence pointing at him. Was Gary telling the truth? Was he possessed as he claimed? Will he be able to prove that he is not guilty? What happened at the party that night?

Worldlines by Adam Guest is an engaging and captivating book that is centered on four different worldlines: the Blue Line, the Black Line, the Red Line, and the Green Line. The story was told from Gary Jackson's perspective. I was intrigued by the theory of Many Worlds. Although it looks impossible to me, I fantasized about the theory being true, and I imagined how interacting with several worldlines will feel like.

There were a couple of other things that I enjoyed in this book. During Gary and Mitchelle's holiday in Italy, I was able to learn some basics of skiing and some precautionary measures to ensure one's safety at the sport. The idea of trying out this sport one day gave me great pleasure while reading, and I loved this part most.

On the downside, this book contains repetition. This is caused by several instances of Gary in different worldlines. Although it seems that the repetition can't be avoided because the different worldlines gave different outcomes, I still think the author would have left some details. However, this did not affect my rating for the book.

This book was edited professionally, as I found only one error. Therefore, I have no reason to deduct a star. Consequently, I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. Worldlines is scientific, so people with a scientific mind will appreciate it most. Also, lovers of science fiction and fantasies will enjoy this book, and I recommend it to them.

I like how you begin your review, asking the reader questions in a way they can easily understand the multiverse concept! Nice review!
