Plot Summary

Main Characters

I got attached to the main characters right away. They felt real, even when the story got wild. The two leads, Cass and Mira, both work at the Multiverse Hair Salon. Cass is bold and a little reckless. Mira is thoughtful and careful. Their differences make their friendship and romance feel honest.

Cass jumps into new universes without thinking twice. She wants to fix things, even if it means breaking the rules.
Mira worries about the risks. She tries to keep Cass grounded, but she also learns to take chances.

I noticed their growth as the story moved forward. Cass starts to see the cost of her choices. Mira finds her own courage. Their journey reminded me of other books where characters change in believable ways.

For example, in “Gathering Evidence,” the author shows characters facing big changes and tough emotions. Cass and Mira go through something similar. They struggle with identity and what it means to love across different worlds.

I liked how the book didn’t make anyone the “bad guy.” Both Cass and Mira have flaws, but they also have good reasons for what they do. That made me care about them even more.

Some books, like “The Road to the Country,” struggle with character growth. The changes feel forced. Here, Cass and Mira’s choices feel natural. Their friendship and romance grow as they face new challenges. I found myself rooting for both of them, even when they messed up.

Multiverse Journey

The multiverse journey in this book is wild. Cass and Mira jump between different timelines, trying to find a world where they can be together and avoid disaster. Each universe has its own rules and surprises. Some are funny, some are scary, and some are just plain weird.

The story doesn’t give a detailed map of every universe. Instead, it focuses on the emotional ride. I felt like I was right there with Cass and Mira, never knowing what would happen next. The stakes get higher with each jump. They have to make tough choices about who they want to be and what they’re willing to risk for love.

The salon itself is a hub for all these universes. I loved how it felt both familiar and strange at the same time.
Each new timeline brings a new challenge. Sometimes it’s a small change, like a different haircut. Other times, it’s a huge twist that left me gasping.

The idea of searching for the “right” universe made me think about my own choices. What would I do if I could try again in another world? The book doesn’t answer every question, but it made me care about the journey. Cass and Mira’s search for happiness feels both personal and cosmic.

If you like stories that mix big ideas with real feelings, this part of Cosmic Love at the Multiverse Hair Salon by Annie Mare will keep you turning pages.

Themes

Romance Across Universes

Romance in this book feels wild and new. I kept thinking, “How do you even fall in love when the rules change in every universe?” The story takes the classic romance formula and tosses it into a blender with sci-fi.

I saw Cass and Mira face obstacles that felt both familiar and totally out there. Their love story is not just about two people. It’s about two people trying to find each other again and again, no matter what universe they land in.

The book uses the fun parts of romance novels—like big feelings, funny banter, and tough choices—but adds a twist with each universe jump.
I noticed that the story doesn’t just focus on the happy ending. It’s more about the journey and the wild things that happen along the way.
Each universe brings a new challenge. Sometimes it’s a silly mix-up, sometimes it’s a real threat. The romance always feels fresh because the setting keeps changing.

I read that romance readers love stories with obstacles and unique settings. This book delivers both. The trust between reader and writer feels strong, even when the story gets weird.

The book also taps into a bigger idea. Every person is part of something huge, but still gets to make their own choices. That’s what makes the romance feel so big and so personal at the same time. I saw Cass and Mira’s love as a way to show how people can connect, even when everything else changes.

Some sci-fi books, like LeGuin’s, show love as a bridge between different worlds or even different species. This book does something similar, but with a lighter touch.
The story uses different points of view and jumps between timelines. That made me feel like I was seeing love from every angle.

Identity and Choices

Identity and choices hit me hard in this story. Cass and Mira keep asking, “Who am I in this universe?” and “What happens if I make a different choice?” I found myself thinking about my own life. Would I be the same person if I made different choices?

The book shows that every universe is a chance to try again. Sometimes Cass is brave, sometimes she’s scared. Mira learns to take risks in one world and plays it safe in another.
Their journey isn’t just about finding each other. It’s about finding themselves. Each jump forces them to look at who they are and what they want.

I liked how the story mixes the outer journey (jumping between universes) with the inner journey (figuring out who you are). It reminded me of stories where the main character grows up by facing new challenges.

The book also plays with the idea of unity and difference. Cass and Mira are different, but they keep finding ways to connect. The story says you can be yourself and still be part of something bigger.

The circular structure of the story made me feel like I was going on the journey with them. Every time they landed in a new universe, I wondered what would change and what would stay the same.
The book doesn’t give easy answers. Sometimes Cass and Mira mess up. Sometimes they win. That made their choices feel real.

If you like stories that make you think about who you are and what you want, Cosmic Love at the Multiverse Hair Salon by Annie Mare gives you a lot to chew on.

Genre and Style

Sci-Fi and Romance Blend

I have to give props to Annie Mare for mixing sci-fi and romance in a way that actually works. Most books try to do both and end up losing me, but this one kept me hooked. The story jumps between universes, but the heart of it stays on Cass and Mira’s relationship.

I felt like I was watching a rom-com set in a galaxy far away, with just enough weirdness to keep things interesting.

The sci-fi parts never get too technical. I never felt lost or confused by the science.
The romance feels real, even when the world around the characters gets wild.
I laughed at the strange salon customers and the odd rules in each universe.

If you want a book that feels like a mashup of your favorite space movie and a sweet love story, this one delivers.

Tone and Structure

The tone of this book is playful and sometimes a little chaotic. I found myself grinning at the jokes and rolling my eyes at the silly moments. The author doesn’t take things too seriously, which made the heavier scenes hit even harder. I liked that the story moved fast. Each chapter felt like a new adventure.

Short chapters kept me turning pages late into the night.
The structure jumps between universes, but I never felt lost.
The writing style is simple and direct, which made it easy to follow.

Sometimes the humor felt a bit much, but I’d rather have too many laughs than none at all. The mix of light and serious moments made the story feel honest. I couldn’t put it down, even when I wanted to get some sleep.

Strengths

Standout Qualities

I have to give props to Annie Mare for creating a book that feels so original. The Multiverse Hair Salon setting grabbed my attention right away. I never thought I’d read about love, haircuts, and universe-hopping all in one story.

The way the author mixes humor with real emotion stands out. I laughed at the wild salon customers, but I also felt for Cass and Mira when things got tough.

Unique setting: A hair salon that connects universes? I loved it.
Fresh voice: The writing feels honest and playful.
Emotional depth: The book surprised me with its heart.

Reader Appeal

This book speaks to anyone who wants something different from their usual sci-fi or romance. I found myself rooting for the characters, even when they made mistakes. The story kept me guessing, and I never felt bored.

If you like books that make you laugh and think, you’ll probably enjoy this one.

Short chapters make it easy to read late at night.
Relatable characters: Cass and Mira feel real, flaws and all.
Wild plot twists: I never knew what would happen next.

Impact and Appeal

Cosmic Love at the Multiverse Hair Salon left me thinking about my own choices. I started to wonder, “What if I could jump to another universe?” The story made me care about the characters and their journey. I finished the book feeling both happy and a little sad to say goodbye.

Memorable moments: Some scenes still pop into my head days later.
Big ideas: The book explores love, identity, and second chances.
Fun factor: I couldn’t put it down, even when I needed sleep.

Weaknesses

I have to be honest, even though I had fun with this book, a few things bugged me. Sometimes I wanted to love every page, but I kept tripping over the same issues.

Descriptive Overload: The story often tells instead of shows. I noticed the narrative gets so descriptive that it forgets to argue its own point. I felt like I had to do the heavy lifting to figure out what the author wanted me to feel or believe.
Glossing Over Big Issues: The book nods at tough topics, like race and identity, but never really digs in. I kept waiting for a deeper look, especially when the story brushed up against big questions about who belongs and who gets left out.
Limited Perspectives: I missed seeing more voices and angles. The story hints at gender, sexuality, and ability, but only on the surface. I wanted more intersectional moments—something that would make the characters’ struggles feel bigger than just their own.
Outdated Language: Sometimes the words used for mental health or ethnicity felt old-fashioned. That pulled me out of the story and made it harder to connect.

Note: Some critics, like Steadman, point out that stories like this can leave readers guessing about the real message. I felt that too—sometimes I wanted the book to just say what it meant.

I still enjoyed the ride, but these weak spots kept me from loving it as much as I hoped.

I stayed up way too late with Cosmic Love at the Multiverse Hair Salon by Annie Mare. The wild setting, honest laughs, and real heart made it stand out.

If you want a quirky sci-fi romance, give it a shot.
My Dionysus Review Rating: 7/10.
