Everything Happens So Much

By Andrew H. Murray

The Midnight Library meets Everything Everywhere All at Once in this unputdownable adventure about a woman whose fantasies of escaping her humdrum life inadvertently disrupt the fabric of reality.

Esme Good is an unremarkable young woman working a dead-end job in an unremarkable city. Her only escape is The Elsewheres: tiny potions that allow you to disappear for fifteen minutes into alternate versions of yourself. Sadly, these only confirm her suspicion that she is, in a cosmic sense, living her worst life.

Then, after a workplace incident that could have happened to anyone, Esme unintentionally becomes the most important person in this--or perhaps any--universe. We don't have time to get into exactly why this is, but to remedy it, Esme must find an uncharted land and fulfil a prophecy that has been on hold since the dawn of time.

She has spent her whole life trying not to become a main character. Now, a lot of things are about to happen to her: in fact, everything, and so much.
