All This and More

A Novel

De: Peng Shepherd

Narrado por: Helen Laser

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 listener 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 listener in the driver’s seat.

great concept

too long and u keep going in a loop, too many options. I liked the 3 endings but it never really ended.

Choose Your Own Adventure for Adults

Creative and uplifting story about choices and what’s important in life. High-quality audiobook production and fantastic narrator.

Interesting Original Story

This was an original and ambitious idea, both in terms of story creativity and actual execution. Overall it remained interesting although a bit too long through iterations in my opinion. There were some unexpected reveals but I think there were also some pretty big gaps in explaining how it actually worked - I won’t say more not to ruin the story. Re narration, generally good but would be a little better if nearly every sentence wasn’t performed as if it had an exclamation mark at the end of the sentences.

a wonderful and unique dystopian novel

I haven't read a choose your own adventure style book since I was a child, but this grown up sci fi dystopian version tells a story that really makes you think. I loved it.

Not good at all

I thought this story was really truly terrible. I finished only because I was curious how it would end. The two stars were really earned because it had great narration.
