Two teens process grief, loss, and life across multiple universes in this story of love, friendship, and possibility perfect for fans of You’ve Reached Sam.

Worlds turn. Particles spin. Love endures.

 
There are infinite universes in which Elise never dies. Her best friend, Anna, never has to mourn her or choose between the weight of her grief and the weight of her ambition. Her cousin, Liam, never has to lose another loved one or fight to find purpose in a life that already doesn’t feel like his own. 
 
But Liam and Anna do not get to choose the universe in which they live. Across multiple worlds, their paths collide as they wrestle with what it takes to save someone else and how to face love and loss on a quantum scale.
 
This moving, lyrical novel introduces two teens on the cusp of finding out who they are while finding each other again and again.

From NOVL Nation

“Speechless. I’m completely speechless, moved, and on the verge of tears after reading the very last pages of Right Here, Right Now.”

–Dea, @deasbookshelf

“This was quite an emotional read about grief, loss, and the people left behind… The premise of the story was endlessly intriguing, and one that anyone who has suffered loss will understand – the what if.”

“This isn’t a book that you can finish reading and not think about again. This is a book that will stick with you long after you’re finished. You’ll send your friends long voice memos about it and you’ll ask others to read it so you can discuss it together.”

–Michaela, @thatbibliobabe

“I don’t even know what to say. There are…no words. This book is inside me and it’s inside my soul. If you don’t read this when it comes out you are doing yourself a disservice.
ETA: it’s been an hour and not only can i not still thinking about this without crying hysterically but I’m also shaking so just know this is the best book in the world.”
