A review by cmliwagdixon
Kat Cubed by Lesley L. Smith

5.0

When parallel universes collide, things can get messy. Each version of Kat Garcia comes from a parallel universe with its own unique problems. When each discovers a portal into another universe, they learn that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. They each voyage to other universes in order to try to fix their respective worlds, but endanger the multiverse in the process.

In “Kat Cubed,” Lesley L. Smith not only constructs a compelling science fiction story but also explores the dangers of climate change and oppressive governments. Set in the not-so-distant future, each of the parallel universes presented in this book is a terrifying possible reality for our own world. Unlike Kat Garcia and her parallel selves, however, we cannot count on a portal to another universe opening up. We must save ourselves.
