While You Were Gone by Amy K. Nichols

Be careful what you ask for…

I was mildly interested in the mirror image story from the other Duplexity novel. This one tries the star-crossed thing with much less interaction, making it a greater strain to believe.

If you enjoyed the first book, this one is an enjoyable continuation. If the first seemed like a stretch, this doubles that feeling. But it’s a quick read with a mostly charming, balanced pair of POV characters. The biggest problem comes from the social strata differences–the governor’s daughter circulates in very different circles, and it strains credulity when they cross paths. (Well, even more than the “wrong universe” thing would make you think!)

Anyway, for me it was fine because it was quick, but I doubt I’ll reread either of the pair.
