An Infinite Number of Parallel Universes is a young adult coming-of-age novel by Randy Ribay. It was published in 2015 by Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers.
The novel follows four friends from different backgrounds as they face the challenges of senior year and growing up. They must also learn to deal with their own personal struggles, including family secrets, identity issues, and first love.
The four friends are:
* Archie: A math whiz who is struggling with his parents' divorce after his dad comes out as gay.
* Mari: A talented artist who is trying to figure out her place in the world.
* Dante: A kind and caring young man who is struggling to come to terms with his sexuality.
* Sam: A popular and outgoing young man who is dealing with the heartbreak of a breakup.
The friends bond over their shared love of Dungeons & Dragons, and they use the game as a way to escape from the challenges of their real lives. However, as they face the realities of senior year and adulthood, they must learn to rely on each other and to support each other through thick and thin.
An Infinite Number of Parallel Universes** is a beautifully written and engaging novel that explores themes such as friendship, identity, self-acceptance, and the challenges of growing up. It is a story that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.
Here are some of the things that I liked best about the book:
* The characters are complex and well-developed. The four friends are all relatable and sympathetic characters, and their struggles are real and believable.
* The plot is engaging and suspenseful. There are plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing until the very end.
* The writing is beautiful and evocative. Ribay does a wonderful job of creating a sense of place and atmosphere.
* The themes are explored in a thoughtful and nuanced way. Ribay doesn't shy away from difficult topics such as divorce, sexuality, and identity.
Overall, I highly recommend An Infinite Number of Parallel Universes to fans of young adult fiction, or to anyone who enjoys a well-written and engaging novel with complex characters and a thought-provoking plot.
