Tandem by Anna Jarzab

This is the first book in a young adult trilogy. Sasha is a typical high schooler--shy, academic, wanting to fit in.....and then she thinks her life is picking up when handsome Grant asks her to the prom. But little does she know it is not Grant at all but his analog (double) from another world, Thomas. Thomas needs to bring Sasha back to his world as she is the analog for his kidnapped princess and he is trying to prevent a war. Sasha has to wrap her head around of all of this when she is taken back to his world but she agrees to impersonate the kidnapped Juliana until the upcoming wedding, only a week or so away. But her agreement puts her in danger, while also allowing her to grow closer to Thomas.

I enjoyed this book. Sasha is a complex heroine. Thomas and she have a nice relationship forming. There is good action and twists and turns in this book. I look forward to reading book 2, Tether, when it comes out in the summer of 2014.

I received a copy of this book from the Amazon Vine program in exchange for a review.

I like the story but the writing was slow to me but that me. I still like the idea of story.

Fans of Matched, Across the Universe, and The Hunger Games will love this captivating tale of rebellion and romance that spans parallel worlds. Everything repeats. You. Your best friend. Every person you know. Many worlds. Many lives - infinite possibilities. Welcome to the multiverse. Sixteen-year-old Sasha Lawson has only ever known one small, ordinary life. When she was young, she loved her grandfather's stories of parallel worlds inhabited by girls who looked like her but led totally different lives. Sasha never believed such worlds were real - until now, when she finds herself thrust into one against her will. To prevent imminent war, Sasha must slip into the life of an alternate version of herself, a princess who has vanished on the eve of her arranged marriage. If Sasha succeeds in fooling everyone, she will be returned home; if she fails, she'll be trapped in another girl's life forever. As time runs out, Sasha finds herself torn between two worlds, two lives, and two young men vying for her love - one who knows her secret, and one who thinks she's someone she's not. Tandem is a riveting saga of love and betrayal set in parallel universes in which nothing - and no one - is what it seems.

3.5 stars. But I think only because it took me so long to read it? When I was reading it, I mostly enjoyed it, but when I wasn't reading it, I wasn't looking forward to reading it? It had moments of being a great book and moments of not being that way. Too much explanation at times and it went on for too long in certain parts, and some parts weren't necessary to the story. I don't know.. I really wanted to love this, but I think I just liked it..
