From the critically acclaimed, bestselling author of The Cartographers and The Book of M comes an inventive new novel about a woman who wins the chance to rewrite every mistake she's ever made... and how far she'll go to find her elusive "happily ever after." But there's a twist: the reader gets to decide what she does next to change her fate.One woman. Endless options. Every choice has consequences.Meek, play-it-safe Marsh has just turned forty-five, and her life is in shambles. Her career is stagnant, her marriage has imploded, and her teenage daughter grows more distant by the day. Marsh is convinced she's missed her chance at everything--romance, professional fulfillment, and adventure--and is desperate for a do-over.She can't believe her luck when she's selected to be the star of the global sensation All This and More, a show that uses quantum technology to allow contestants the chance to revise their pasts and change their present lives. It's Marsh's only shot to seize her dreams, and she's determined to get it right this time.But even as she rises to become a famous lawyer, gets back together with her high school sweetheart, and travels the world, she begins to worry that All This and More's promises might be too good to be true. Because while the technology is amazing, something seems a bit off....Can Marsh really make her life everything she wants it to be? And is it worth it?Perfect for fans of Matt Haig's The Midnight Library and Kate Atkinson's Life After Life, bestselling author Peng Shepherd's All This and More is an utterly original, startlingly poignant novel that puts the reader in the driver's seat.

Second half of my #bookhaul! Can't wait to dive into these! (Except actually I can cause the book I'm reading now is really good -- nice problems to have 🙂)

snapsnarlgrowl I was really enjoying Possession several years ago. Never finished due to a combination of life stuff and library due date but I‘ve been wanting to revisit 2mo

Marsh finds herself the contestant on a reality show with a quantum bubble that allows her to test out different lives (and we get a choose your own adventure component), but things start to get a little odd. I found this book wildly creative and really enjoyed it for the most part, but the CYOA component really didn‘t work by the end for listening straight through, as it caused a lot of repetition.

I read this book before seeing the author speak at the National Book Festival in DC. The concept is intriguing--a game show that allows you to change key moments of your past via "quantum bubbling"--but the story itself was a bit messy. The changes become increasingly frantic and the mechanism or rules involved don't seem entirely clear.The "choose your own adventure" aspect was promising but didn't quite pay off. Still, an inventive read.

If you had the chance to change your life to make it exactly the way you want it, would you?
This is a fun, fast moving book about life choices.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance copy.
