English
(From AniList. Seems mostly accurately translated, except the last line for some reason is completely different. 
)
In a world where people regularly travel between slightly different parallel universes, Koyomi Takasaki lives with his mother after his parents’ recent divorce. Awkward and studious, he has trouble making friends at his new school, until his classmate Kazune Takigawa seeks him out. She claims that she’s moved here from another world where she and Takasaki are lovers… But could he be the one who’s actually from a parallel world?

Personal Opinion
I read this a few months ago and really enjoyed it. The premise is really cool and I liked the blend of sci-fi and romance. It was also a really easy read (7 days for me), so I think it should be a good difficulty for intermediate book club.
Pros and Cons for the Book Club
Pros
- Interesting sci-fi premise
- Not too difficult
- On the shorter side
Cons
- Occasional sci-fi mumbo jumbo
- There’s a related book set in an alternate universe, but both books were released on the same day and there’s no official order to them, which is confusing. (I’m simply nominating the one I enjoyed more, but for those who decide to ultimately read both books this order may be awkward.)

Bookwalker preview or Amazon preview
I recommend reading at least the preview for the first chapter (not just the prologue) since they are a bit different.
Sorry, but I don’t feel like finding some pages with some more of the sci-fi stuff to preview.
