Now That You're Here Duplexity Part I eBook Amy K Nichols

I think most of you know that I love a time travel story when it's well written and the time travel science is logical (but not overly detailed because let's remember that I cried through most of my AP Physics class). My other requirement is for characters who are truly believable because let's face it, if you end up in a time travel situation, there are some logical reactions you should experience.

Now That You're Here swaps characters in two parallel universes and presents it with dual points-of-view. That's what I liked the best, the two povs. I immediately understood geeky Eevee, but it was Danny who proved trickier to understand. I think I truly saw him through Eevee's eyes and therefore had trouble reconciling the slacker in one world with the rebellious tagger from the other world. But none of that mattered, because what I ultimately fell in love with was their chemistry, and I found myself hoping that somehow their relationship will find a way to work out.

A story like this depends on solid world-building and Amy delivers that and more. The oppressive world that Danny comes from forms a nice contrast to Eevee's world. The expected complication of Danny figuring out the world he's landed in and Eevee trying to use all the scientific answers she knows to explain why Danny is so different made the pace quick. Once all the pieces were in place, I had that can't-stop-reading-now feeling and plowed through the story in one sitting.

Without giving away any spoilers, I will say that lucky for all of us readers, there will be a Duplexity #2 (While You Were Gone) which will be released this August. Time travel buffs will zoom through this story and want to travel to parallel universes for that sequel.

Now That You're Here Duplexity Part I eBook Amy K Nichols Reviews

Science--I LOVED the science!!!! Eevee Solomon has the heart AND brain of Meg from A Wrinkle in Time but Now That You're Here is it's own unique story. I absolutely adored how this book came together at the end, especially scientifically. Now, don't get me wrong, the whole thing was fabulous, but there was something special about this completely different explanation for traveling through parallel worlds. And I always have a soft spot for solid endings that don't tie everything up in a neat little bow. Not to mention, now I'm itching for Duplexity II--While You Were Gone, so I can see what was happening on the other side. A fabulous debut for Amy K. Nichols and I can't wait to see what she does next. <3
I don't think that I've read a book quite like Now That You're Here. This is one of those genre-bending novels, a mix of science-fiction, romance, mystery, and thriller...all wrapped up in a fun, fast YA novel, complete with Doctor Who and Star Trek references. Someone said there was also some Klingon and/or Elvish in the book, but I couldn't really tell you since I don't speak either one. ;)

I absolutely LOVED the main female protagonist, Eevee. She is strong, smart, caring and active. Everything that I want my own daughter to be. I loved that Eevee was open to believing that the new Danny was from a "different world" and was willing to help him. What I didn't like was how easy she slipped into skipping class once she met him but I'm sure that's just the mom in me talking. If it had been 16 year old me reading this book, I probably would have found it romantic. ;)

Something else, I really loved about Now That You're Here is that although it is being marketed as a YA novel, it could just as easily be given to a middle-schooler to read. There is nothing in this book that would make me uncomfortable to give to either my son or daughter to read (well, except the skipping of school but (spoiler alert) Eevee does end up getting in trouble for that).

I definitely recommend this book for adults, teens, and middle-schoolers
What a fun, fascinating and absolutely delightful story Amy K. Nichols’ NOW THAT YOU’RE HERE is. The science is presented in a way that is engaging and intriguing. The characters are likable, entertaining and utterly adorable. The author’s take on the multiverse will make you wish you could travel between universes. And the ending will make you wish you had the sequel.

When Danny Ogden finds himself in a world that is completely different from his own except for a girl who looks exactly like the alluring girl he’d just met in his world, his only goal is to find a way to get back home to his family and his friends. But when he discovers that this alternate universe he landed in is not anything like the oppressive, danger-filled one he’s from and this girl is even more captivating than the girl he left behind, finding a way to stay becomes his new objective.

Eevee Solomon has always loved math and science and for things to be ordered, precise, logical, absolute. But when the boy who’d never been anything more than an unresponsive seat-filler in her English class injects himself into her life, asking for her help and looking at her as if she’s someone worth looking at, someone beautiful, she can start to see the appeal of a life that is unpredictable and uncertain. Even if it means accepting the fact that when it comes to love there are no absolutes. Especially when the boy who has the potential to change her life so completely could disappear from it at any moment, taking her heart with him.

Told in their alternating point’s of view, readers will get to know both characters, see what they’re up to when they’re not together, get peeks at Danny’s universe and learn the secrets that he’s keeping from Eevee about what’s really happening there.

NOW THAT YOU’RE HERE is a quick and thoroughly enjoyable read filled with exciting and interesting concepts, touches of humor, suspense, mystery and light romance, and a storyline that promises even more action and excitement when flipped to the characters in the alternate universe.

Amy K. Nichols’ debut brings together two unlikely characters for a completely absorbing, interdimensional love story and adventure that will appeal to readers who are intrigued by the possibility of multiple universes, who are thrilled with the idea of meeting different versions of an author’s characters, who prefer their science presented in a way that is easy to grasp, and who love their stories to continue beyond just one book.
