This is not just a coming-of-age novel—it is an invitation to consider what it means to feel, to hurt, to heal, and to love.
Five stars for emotional authenticity, razor-sharp humour, and unexpected structural courage.
Peng Shepherd’s All This & More is a daring, inventive novel that successfully blends speculative fiction with social critique.
It’s rare for a book to balance quirky charm with genuine emotional depth, but this one does so effortlessly.
Four stars because its pacing wobbles and a trope feels offbeat, but those are small flaws in a sharply observed and wildly funny novel.
