The Universe Overbooked My Life (Infinite)
Benjie Cruz has a system for everything. Fourteen color-coded categories in his Google Calendar. A wireless mic named Celia. A van he drives to the deep provinces when clients want authenticity, which always means his specific face and his specific voice and his ability to make a room full of strangers feel like family for four hours.
He is very good at this. He has also spent eleven years doing it for other people's lives while quietly neglecting his own.
When a family reunion in Batangas forces him off the calendar and into ten days with the entire Cruz-Lazaro clan, three feuding titas, one unscattered grandmother, and a six-year-old boy who has his ears, his nose, and absolutely no context for who he is, Benjie discovers that the universe has been rescheduling an appointment he has been avoiding for years.
The Universe Overbooked My Life is a story about the difference between showing up professionally and showing up as a person. About the child who watches where you are even when you don't notice. About the woman who asks what makes you laugh when nobody is watching and actually waits for the answer. About the family that is loud because it means things.
It is about what happens when your calendar finally, comprehensively betrays you into the life you were supposed to be living.
The Universe Overbooked My Life is the third book in The Infinite Series.
