What I enjoyed most about this book was the unique prospect of inter-dimensional travel. Never before have I read a book with such an amazing take on Sci-Fi and I really loved it. In real life no one really believes in different dimensions, at least I don't, and so no one really thinks about it. It felt really great to see how that concept was put into this fantastic young adult novel. Though this novel did not come without its faults. I can speak for many many book lovers when I say that that cover was the cover that drew us all in. The watercolors, the vibrant picture of Russia and the promise of a deeper meaning to it all was enough to throw our money at the cashier and run home to read the beauty. Did I enjoy this book? Yes I did. Do I feel that the beauty of the cover keeps it's promise for an unforgettable read? No, sadly I do not. 
 When the novel starts, we are instantly thrown into the chaos that is Marguerite's life after her father's death. Anger. Vengeance. Hatred. We see it all and it really gets your blood pumping. She sees no way to lessen the pain of her father's loss other than too kill Paul, the guy all the evidence leads to. He was treated as if he were part of their family and how does he repay them? By killing her father. So she, with the help of her friend Theo, jump through different dimensions following the trace of Paul to seek revenge for her father's death. The most interesting thing was undoubtedly the parallel dimensions. We see multiple versions of Marguerite in so many different types of places and it was all so incredibly fascinating! 
 Marguerite is the daughter of two brilliant scientists who love her and her sister unconditionally. She is the only one in the family who follows the path of art as opposed to the path of science. You'd think she would feel lonely at times when everyone around her would understand her parent's babbling about their latest prototype of the Firebird(device that allows someone to go to another dimension) but she never does. Her parents have over all kinds of student geniuses for their assistance in perfecting their experiment and because of this she has made many different friends who never make her feel stupid about not understanding their science world. But to her, Paul and Theo were the closest ones to their family. That was why she felt so betrayed by Paul. 
 Now when you read that fantastic synopsis, the first thing that goes through your head would be Adventure! or Science Fiction! But in complete honestly felt more like a romance novel to me. Do not get me wrong, I love romance but I wish the novel had been more like what the synopsis says. To me it felt a bit like deception from Claudia Gray. What I was expecting was a cute romance amidst all the action but what I got was: Not enough Science Fiction, too much romance. It is not like I hated that but the book would have been so much more epic if my expectations were met. I also had problems with the quality of the writing in this book. It was not what I was expecting and it was the one thing I disliked most about this book. The writing felt very average and I really hope this is improved in the second book. 
 Overall, I really liked A Thousand Pieces Of You even if it did not meet my expectations. I know a lot of people who were disappointed with this read as well but if you lower your expectations and do not mind that it's filled with delightful romance and average writing then I recommend this book. I am looking forward to the second book not only because of the gorgeous cover but also because of the stellar synopsis.
