About this listen

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Everything You Ever Wanted by Luiza Sauma, read by Stephanie Racine.

You wake up. You go to work. You don't go outside for 12 hours at a time. You have strategy meetings about how to use hashtags. After work you order expensive drink after expensive drink until you're so blackout drunk you can't remember the circumstances which have led you to waking up in bed with your colleague. The next day you stay in bed until the afternoon, scrolling through your social media feeds and wondering why everyone else seems to be achieving so much. Sometimes you don't get out of bed at all.

Then you hear about Life on Nyx, a programme that allows 100 lucky winners the chance to escape it all, move to another planet and establish a new way of life. One with meaning and purpose. One without Instagram and online dating. There's one caveat: if you go, you can never come back.

But you aren't worried about that.

After all, what on Earth could there possibly be to miss?

I had hoped that this book would be about living on another planet, exploring and discovering things etc. Instead the main protagonist Iris spent 7 years living inside a capsule without ever going outside.
There is instead a lot of interpersonal interaction, with fellow earth envoys, but to me the main character Iris had a seriously flawed personality which irritated throughout.
I listen to audiobooks whilst working on various projects indoors, so I did get to the end of the book, but I doubt I would have , had I listed to it without distraction.
Not a terrible book, and the moral of « be careful what you wish for » is I guess illustrated, albeit at considerable length

Not really about discovering living on another planet

Wow. This book was really different. It was well narrated, the story was a little flawed but well pursued. it was a soul searching journey with thought provoking reality. I didnt enjoy the end. It made me appreciate my life more though.

Geeze !!

I was waiting for something interesting to happen the whole way through but it never seems to get there. very disappointed by the ending.

If you've read 'I who have never known men' or even 'The Loneliest Girl in the Universe' don't bother with this because you've already peaked. This is like those but the main character isn't as well written, the background and sci-fi part doesn't make sense and this ending is lazy and left too open. It's not even in a vague 'was it this or that?' Layer Cake kind of way - it doesn't tie up a single loose end. It was doing OK up until about 80% and a decent ending could have saved it but the ending really let it down imo so 3/5.

It could have been ended sooner and better.

I have to say I like the promise of the book but was heavily disappointed with the execution. I found the writing simple, characters where rarely developed, the ending highly unbelievable and the science beyond amateur. sadly this book was not for me.

Simple writing
