Sometimes people are no good for each other. Sometimes it works out anyway, at least for a while. Other times, friendships unwittingly blossom into something more - even if all the forces of nature are against it. Everything Happens So Much is Elly Gibson's debut novel. The book follows two characters, Bea and Zander, and their adventures in love, existential ennui, adulthood, friendship, and figuring it all out. The book is about 30,000 words, which means it's technically a novella, or a short novel.
