Description
Lauren George is a normal adult. When you're a kid and make that mental image of what a cool grown-up is like she's probably what you would imagine. She has a well-paying, steady job at an office--that she hates. She always seems to know the right thing to say--because she has intense anxiety and has mentally had this conversation already. She always has a fashionable outfit--due to her mild shopping addiction. And she likes to travel--but rarely plans well enough for it--so she doesn't have kids--but mostly because the idea of being responsible for another life (other than her cat Rex) terrifies her. Okay, so maybe she's not exactly what you pictured. From the outside she checks all the boxes, but inside she's mostly a mess. So when a nice, old man at her local book shop say's he's a wizard and that she's some sort of chosen one--well she does what anyone would do--pretends she doesn't speak English to get out of the awkward conversation. When the situation continues to knock on her door, literally, Lauren has no choice but to rethink who she is and what she's actually capable of.
