The Probability of Everything by Sarah Everett
2.0
Repetitive language, sad in a way that overshadows how precocious and interesting Kemi’s character might be, obsession with statistics feel simplausible, repetitive (yup, that’s intentional on my part). I’m not the target audience (not a middle reader), so the repetition might sit better with that target reading age. Overall, it feels more suited to an essay or short story than a novel length. The metaphor is powerful, but it’s so slow until you get to it. The snappier writing of a shorter form would give it more impact.
