'I was reading about the end of the universe when I got a text message from my friend Libby . . .' If Kelsey Newman's theory about the end of time is true, we are all going to live forever. But for Meg - locked in a dead-end relationship and with a deadline long-gone for a book that she can't write - this thought fills her with dread. Meg is lost in a labyrinth of her own devising. But could there be an important connection between a wild beast living on Dartmoor, a ship in a bottle, the science of time, a knitting pattern for the shape of the universe and the Cottingley Fairies? Or is her life just one long chain of coincidences?

I really enjoyed Our Tragic Universe. I chose it because it fit with the prompt but didn't have any expectations. I haven't read much by the author. This is well-written and entertaining. The book uses a first person narrator which I really enjoy when it's done well. Meg is a great character and I felt kinship for her. She's a bit messy and in her head a lot which I can relate to. I enjoyed this book a lot and would recommend it.
