What In The World (Pre-Order August 11th 2026)

What In The World by Bridget Morrissey Pre-Order August 11th 2026

High school rivals. Unfinished business. Infinite universes. In What in the World, Bridget Morrissey delivers a wildly fun, heartfelt romantic adventure about second chances, alternate realities, and the one person you can’t escape—no matter the timeline.

Marlowe Jenkins and Priscilla Covington-French despise each other. They always have. Even after nearly twenty years apart, the rivalry still simmers—though it may have something to do with the kisses they never quite talk about.

When the two women learn that their beloved high school drama teacher has vanished—apparently through a time machine hidden inside the school—they’re forced into an uneasy reunion. Together, they chase clues across a series of bizarre alternate universes, each featuring slightly different versions of themselves…many of whom are very clearly in love.

As realities shift and timelines collapse, Marlowe and Priscilla discover they are the only constants in every world. Old resentments soften into trust. Long-buried feelings rise to the surface. And the question becomes impossible to ignore: did they sacrifice their happiness all those years ago just to protect their pride?

Now, with the fate of their futures—and possibly the multiverse—at stake, they must choose between clinging to a feud that defines them or risking everything on the love they never let themselves have.

Smart, swoony, and delightfully strange, What in the World is a queer romantic comedy about rivalry, regret, and finding your way back to the one person who exists in every version of your life.
