I recently read the description of Through To You and have become very intrigued by the idea of parallel universes. Any recommendations for other books on this topic?

There are a huge number of parallel-world books. Do you want just YA books? Do they need to have romance?

Here are a few recs to start. Only the first has romance.

Daughter of Smoke and Bone
A Crack in the Line
The Marbury Lens
MirrorMask: The Illustrated Film Script
Charmed Life

I have a list, although they're not all the same kind of parallel universe that it sounds like Through to you has.

The one that sounds the most interesting out of that list is A Crack in the Line. I don't need it to be young adult, and there doesn't need to be a romance.

The more realistic the better (if that makes sense when talking about parallel universes), like I want to read something that's fiction, but also intellectual.

Does that make more sense? And I'm off to peruse your list now! Thankyou!

Realistic like both universes are basically similar versions of our world? Yeah, A Crack in the Line would be most like that.

Hm, one that I can think off the top of my head is Timeline, though it's more action driven than intellectual. It's about a group of scientists who travel to the Medieval era via parallel universes. Neverwhere was also quite good, though it's more about the London underground rather than sci-fi parallel universes.
