Sarah Everett’s seven standalone novels form a consistent body of work despite their range of premises. Each book takes an unusual concept — memory erasure, AI grief services, asteroid mathematics, time loops — and uses it as a frame for something emotionally immediate: losing someone, not knowing who you are, trying to hold onto something that is already gone. The high-concept hook is always in service of the feeling rather than the other way around.
Her debut Everyone We’ve Been (2016) introduced her interest in memory and identity through a teenager whose recollection of a boy she clearly knew has been erased. No One Here Is Lonely (2019) deepened the grief theme with an AI phone service that allows a girl to keep talking to her dead crush — a premise that is both imaginative and quietly devastating. Some Other Now (2021) and How to Live Without You (2022) moved toward more grounded family and relationship stories before The Probability of Everything (2023) brought in the middle grade audience and earned the Governor General’s Award.
The Shape of Lost Things (2024) and The Romance Rewind (2026) continue the series into its later phase, with the time-loop structure of The Romance Rewind giving Everett a new formal frame for her recurring interest in the versions of ourselves we present to the people we love — and what happens when those versions stop being true.
