Everyone wonders about the one that got away . . .
You're supposed to be thrilled when you find a ring in your boyfriend's sock drawer, right But Laurel Everett's just left wondering... 'what if' Specifically, what if she'd taken up her work crush, Drew, on his offer of a date just after she and Ollie got together Thanks to her job at tech giant Pixel, she might have a way to answer that question. Through the AltR project, users are promised a glimpse of alternate realities, and Laurel just can't help herself... When she wakes up five years into her life with Drew, she's fascinated at the difference, but there's a glitch in the system. Laurel keeps slipping between her new life with Drew, and her 'real' life with Ollie. As she moves back and forth between the two worlds, Laurel realises choosing the right life might not be as simple as deciding between two men and the different visions of happiness they offer. If Laurel doesn't find a way to untangle herself from the quantum mess she's unleashed, she might just wind up stuck in the wrong life, or worse, deleted entirely...
