About this listen
From acclaimed author Wendy Wunder comes a sharp and hilarious coming-of-age novel for fans of John Green and Nicola Yoon about an omniscient teenage girl who must grapple with whether there’s such a thing as knowing too much...
Seventeen-year-old Maya knows everything. When she looks at someone, she instantly knows their history, their private thoughts, their secret desires, their most tragic failures. Combine these private miseries with the general state of the world, and it's easy to see why Maya's power starts to get her down…
Which is why she was sent to the Whispering Pines Psychiatric Facility, and also why starting at a new school is going to be such a challenge. Now, faced with Tyler, a cute guy she actually wants to know everything about, Maya realizes that maybe her power isn't so horrible after all. Maybe she can use it for good. Maybe she can even get the guy. Or maybe there really is such a thing as knowing too much.

"Seamlessly moving between the humorous and horrific realities of Maya’s omniscience, Wunder (The Museum of Intangible Things) chronicles the protagonist’s stay at Whispering Pines and her eventual enrollment at a new school where she makes a friend and happens upon potential romance." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"The depiction of Gen Z anxieties feels spot on…A humorous and stimulating reading experience.” —Kirkus
"Wunder’s strong voice and intense emotion takes on real Gen Z issues with heart and humor. Maya’s story tells us that just because you’re omniscient doesn’t mean you don’t have things to learn. And her journey is all backed by a great soundtrack."—Gretchen Schreiber, author of Ellie Haycock Is Totally Normal
