[Warning: SLOW BURN ROMANCE]
Because of her smarts, plain, nerdy looks, and timid personality, Olivia Twyne was often bullied at school.
However, after what Olivia thought was just a regular bullying incident suddenly took a more violent turn, Olivia was transported to another universe, The Opposite World. Here, everything is the opposite of the realm where she originated.
In the Opposite World, she meets the alternate universe version of herself, Oliver Twyne. He was her complete opposite: Popular, handsome, and a jerk of a jock. And her worst nightmare, a bully.
Due to their contrasting qualities, it goes without saying that they hate each other.
Olivia struggles to navigate this alternate universe and battle her hatred for Oliver, but she must find out the mysteries that brought her here and find a way back to her own universe.
"So this is what they mean when they say your life flashes before your eyes when you die."
Betrayed. Battered. Broken.
Evangeline Vermillion has had enough of her pathetic life. She was young—only in her early 20s—and she had planned to end it all by setting herself on fire.
That was how she met Death—cold, dark, tall, and...handsome? Huh. Who knew the Grim Reaper could look like that? He takes her hand and guides her through the In-Between, the sacred realm between the Land of the Living and the Afterlife. Together, they revisit her most important memories. From the misfortunes of her childhood, to the chaos and bloodshed of the wrong kinds of love, Evangeline must confront the demons of her past to get to The Other Side.
Through all of the pain and anguish, Death stands with her, an enigmatic companion and unlikely confidant. And in their brief waltz between realms, Evangeline finally finds what she always wanted but never had: to belong and to be loved.
