Vera is a survivor of a global catastrophe known as the Low Probability Event, but she definitely isn’t thriving. Once a passionate professor of statistics, she no longer finds meaning in anything at all. But when problematic government agent Layne knocks on her door, she’s the only one who can help him uncover the connection between deadly spates of absurdity and an improbably lucky casino.

My review:

I’m not entirely sure how to rate this book. It was a very grand and weird idea but I think I enjoyed it? Did I understand it all? Not at all. It’s a creative take on the horror genre and I definitely vibed with it as it reminded me of some of my favorite movies and shows: Final Destination, Fringe, and The X-Files. Also, it was just the weird mishmash that I enjoyed.

I like what the author tried to tell (metaphorically) about living and appreciating the small joys of life. It’s not all rainbows and sunshine.

Narration by Mara Wilson was great, I think she embodied Vera’s statistical nature, which elevated the story!

Thank you to Macmillan Audio for the early audiobook copy.
