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'TIM MINCHIN'Exemplifies all that is good about British humour.

Andrew H. Murray actually pulls it off'EDWARD ASHTON, AUTHOR OF MICKEY 7 AND AFTER THE FALL'Think you know where this book is going? No you don't'JACKSON FORD, AUTHOR OF THE GIRL WHO COULD MOVE SH*T WITH HER MIND'Witty, warm and clever, this book is an absolute riot'ELIZABETH MACNEAL, AUTHOR OF THE DOLL FACTORY
