Description

Edited is publishing simultaneously with Unedited - the "author's cut" version of the novel.

--

In the spirit of The Princess Bride and Stranger Than FictionNew York Times bestselling author Barry Lyga takes the reader on a wild and surreal ride through the heart of his own creation—perfect for fans of A. S. King, Andrew Smith, and Jeff Zentner

This is a love story.

Mike loves Philomel. Always.

Philomel loves Mike. Sometimes.

After doing something stupid that drives away the love of his life, Mike begins to notice that the world itself seems to be suffering the aftereffects of his bad decision. Reality as he knows it has … changed. And before he can fully understand the ramifications, he’s on an odyssey unlike any other, trying to figure out how to repair the universe and return his lost Philomel to his side. It’s not time travel. It’s not dimension-hopping. It’s something deeper and more fundamental, as simple and as complex as ink on paper. And much to Mike’s surprise, this isn’t even the whole story. It’s possible that the missing pieces of Mike’s life may end up being the most important part of his world—and beyond, the solution to fixing not only his love life, but the entire universe.

Featured Reviews

I am a big fan of some of Barry Lyga's other book so I was extremely excited to read this book, especially when I read in the synopsis that while this is the edited version of the book, there is an unedited version being published side by side as well. That is such a cool concept that I don't think I've heard of anyone else publishing an unedited book. I quite enjoyed this story, which is a love story between two characters Mike and Phi though it's more than just a love story. I'm looking forward to reading the unedited version of this book as well.
