About the author

Louise was born in the same hospital where George Orwell wrote 1984. When growing up in East Kilbride in the 80s, it was clear to see the legacy he left; there was a library on every corner and two nuclear bunkers. She went to Glasgow University and achieved a Master of Arts. She then joined the sensible corporate world of paper shuffling. For the last 25 years, her career has culminated in various promotions to the heady heights where she now tells stories for a living. She still shuffles paper, but virtually now, so that’s progress.

Reviews

[Lola Jelic · Rating 3 out of 5]

The book was interesting, but it reminded me a lot of the book A Wrinkle in Time. The book can be classified as YA. It uses the concept that we don't live in reality, that we can all be reset (the flood was one way of doing this reset), and that everything in the world is controlled through code (DNA, electrical, chemical, etc.) The book is probably more for YA readers than adult readers, but that is not so important. I gave the book 3 stars because of the correlation to other mentioned book, and because more could have been done with character and world building. Perhaps the second book will dive into that. I would classify the book as fantasy and not science fiction. I would recommend the book for those who are into different dimensions, realities, and science.

"Dimensions" by Louise McLaughlin is a thrilling dive into a reality-bending world where nothing is as it seems. With sharp writing, mind-bending twists, and a gripping plot, the book challenges perceptions of freedom and truth. A smart, fast-paced sci-fi read that leaves you questioning what’s real perfect for fans of dystopian and tech-driven stories.

This book is so good! If you enjoy science fiction, fantasy or just something a little fantastical, then this is the book for you. Absolutely loved it!
