Some good examples of this kind of story to study:

E. L. Konigsburg, Silent to the Bone. Hops back and forth between the

Neal Stephenson, Cryptonomicon. Jumps around between the 1990s and the

Spider Robinson, Mindkiller. Two alternating stories told by two

Fannie Flagg, Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe. Jumps all
over the place in multiple eras, told from many viewpoints. I had to
read it twice before I could really follow it.
