Still Us: A Love Story in Parallel Worlds

by R.J. Hecking

In April of 2020, Melyssa Barris lost Luca, the love of her life, to Covid-19. In her fresh, raw grief, she cannot help but dream of him, imagine his face, long for his touch...Two years ago, in another world, another universe, Luca Cattaneo's wife Melyssa died in a tragic car crash. He lives now as a shadow of himself, lost and alone, obsessed with the memories of her that haunt his days.Thought is energy, and even daydreams can have substance. Existence. Reality. In an infinite number of universes, two people can be connected by the power of the love that binds them. Another world might be impossibly distant, or as close as the touch of a hand. All they have to do is reach out and discover it.

A great escape and characters that stick with you.

I loved this book. First off, it is incredibly timely. It weaves in the current pandemic and political atmosphere so it felt like someone was writing it as I was reading it. I became very invested in the characters and actually felt extremely upset when I thought the story was headed a way that was not going to make me happy. The author really knew how to draw you in and make you care about what was happening while keep you guessing about what may still go wrong.....or right.

If you love romance and a little sci-fi or can suspend your belief that everything must be logical, then this is a must read for you!!

An excellent read pertinent to this crazy COVID time we’re living in at the moment. The crossing back and forth between universes is intriguing and keeps the reader wanting more. Well done!

Well this was just fucking amazing. A wild ride, I found it a little reminiscent of The Time Traveler’s Wife in that it constantly has you in a state of WTF IS GOING ON mixed with that dreaded fear of waiting for that other shoe of imminent peril to drop at any moment. (Don’t worry, they get their HEA here.)
This is an immensely moving love story, equal parts heart wrenching, thrilling, and joyful. I fell completely in love with the characters and the writing is superb. HIGHLY recommend!

This is a touching tale of lost loves, alternate universes and soulmates. The story of Lyss and Luca getting to know each other (again) and discovering their other lives was both beautiful and heartbreaking.
