Sarah Everett was born in West Africa and moved to Alberta, Canada, where she pursued graduate studies while writing her first novels. She speaks two Nigerian languages and some Afrikaans, and has spoken about the push and pull between assimilating into a new culture and holding onto where you came from — themes that surface across her fiction in various forms. Her debut novel, Everyone We’ve Been, was published by Penguin Random House in 2016 and drew comparisons to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind for its exploration of memory and identity through a teenage protagonist who begins to lose track of her own past after an accident.
Her middle grade debut, The Probability of Everything (2023), marked a shift in age category and earned her the Governor General’s Literary Award for Young People’s Literature. The novel follows Kemi, a science-minded girl who learns an asteroid has an 84.7% chance of hitting Earth in four days, and uses the approaching end of the world to process her father’s death and preserve what matters most to her family. The book has been praised for handling grief, racism, and belonging with warmth and precision, and has earned a strong Goodreads rating across thousands of reviews.
Across her YA titles, Everett is drawn to high-concept emotional premises: an AI that replicates a dead boyfriend’s voice (No One Here Is Lonely), a teenager who inherits her sister’s secrets when she disappears (How to Live Without You), a time-loop story about a relationship the protagonist is not sure she ever understood (The Romance Rewind, 2026). Her fiction has been published in eleven languages, and reviewers frequently compare her to Gayle Forman, Nina LaCour, and Morgan Matson.
