Although, and some points the book got very confusing and I had to stop and think what was going on. She even begins to crave the very things she despised so much on Earth, such as social media and starts to see all the positive attributes of things she previously labelled as bland and void of meaning. A death of a student at a prestigious private school unlocks all sorts of buried memories for a family who behaves as though they are at the center of the tragedy but are really barely at the periphery.Luiza Sauma’s second novel puts a science-fiction spin on a well-worn narrative of early midlife crisis. The characters - I had a hard time connecting to them, and their respective storylines were never resolved.

This part of the book seems to focus more on the characters themselves than what is happening within the story.

I really enjoyed reading Scarlett's sections: her observations are cynical and perceptive, her voice convincing, her quips sharp and her cynical humour very funny. This all makes it harder to connect with the character fully, but leaves the reader guessing about a lot of her motivations within the narrative so I think it was an interesting choice. Tinged with melancholy and yearning, this novel is wry and frequently beautiful, and its culmination is surprising and deeply moving. Iris Cohen, the heroine of Luiza Sauma’s absorbing and ambitious second novel, Everything You Ever Wanted, chooses the last of these options, making it through the recruitment process to become one of 100 “lucky” people who will forge a new life on newly discovered planet Nyx.
