In this follow-up to The Colliding Worlds Of Mine Lee, a boy discovers he can travel into parallel worlds, just to be with his girlfriend. But each time their paths collide, the fabric of their universes frays a little more, and they must face whether their love is worth the unraveling of reality.

Jin’s whole world been turned upside down. After a mysterious incident with his girlfriend Mina's webcomic, Jin has discovered unbelievable things about his life:

1. He’s been living in a separate parallel universe since he "died" in Mina's reality.
2. His birth mother actually didn't abandon him.
3. He'll never be able to see Mina again. 

But then the impossible happens—he catches a glimpse of Mina in her world.

Soon enough, Jin is able to teleport to Mina’s world and spend time being a normal(ish) couple. He hopes his new mentor Dr. Brennan will help him understand his power. But with every visit, cataclysmic weather happens in his world. And Dr. Brennan’s research team seem a bit too interested in testing Jin’s new teleporting ability.

Is Jin ready to risk it all for the girl he loves?

Ellen Oh, the award-winning author and a founding member of We Need Diverse Books delivers a grounded speculative fiction adventure that'll have readers swooning for the star-crossed romance.
