Everything Happens So Much : The Hilarious and Life-Affirming Bookclub Novel from the Sunday Times Bestselling Host of the No Such Thing As A Fish Podcast
Nothing ever happened to her. And then everything did. Esme Good is an unremarkable young woman working a dull job in a city much like the one you're picturing now. Her only escape is The Elsewheres: tiny potions which allow her to visit alternate versions of herself. Sadly, these only confirm her suspicion that she is, in a cosmic sense, living her worst life. But, after an incident we simply don't have time to get into right now, she will become the most important person in this - or perhaps any - universe. As you can imagine, this is a lot of pressure. And she's not going to handle it well. Esme has never been a main character. Now, a lot of things are about to happen to her: in fact, everything, and so much. ****'Wonderfully whimsical, wacky and wise - who knew that Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams' lovechild would look like Andrew Hunter Murray?'TIM MINCHIN'Hilarious, gripping, truly original...
