A Crack in The Line by Michael Lawrence
(
) If you like reading philosophy-based sci-fi books, this might be your pick. Although it does not contain very original in ideas: the concept is that multiple realities of the same instant layer over each other in time, while still existing in a linear fashion. This results in the story following a girl and boy being born with the same genes, house, and parents; the only differences between them are their genders and family circumstances. The boy's mother died in a car crash and has a weird aunt. The girl's mother was in the same accident, but lived; she doesn't have an aunt. They meet each other through a an emotional time "crack" while touching the same wooden figurine their mothers carved. Things are confusing and mysterious; I think the main point of this was to illustrate a possible option for time that was imagined by the author. Because it doesn't really seem to have a main idea or lesson.
