Me vs. the Multiverse: Pleased to Meet Me (Me vs. the Multiverse, #1)

by S. G. Wilson

What if you suddenly met someone who's you--only better? That's what happens in this hilarious new series for fans of Stuart Gibb's Moon Base Alpha and quirky sci-fi animated shows like Rick and Morty and Regular Show.

It all starts with a note folded into the shape of an origami octopus: "Hi, Me. Yes, you. You're me, and I'm you." If you believe this and the other origami notes that follow--which middle schooler Meade Macon absolutely, positively does NOT--the concept of parallel dimensions is true, and there is a convention full of alternate versions of Meade waiting for his RSVP. It's got to be a joke.
Except . . . the octopus is an origami fold Meade thought he invented. And the note writer has a lot of intel on him that nobody else should know. I mean, he's told his best friend Twig a lot about himself, but he's definitely kept mum about that time he sleepwalk-peed into his Lego container when he was six. Could Me Con be a real thing? And why does the origami stalker want him to go so badly anyway?

Reviews

[Baroness Book Trove]

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy from the Author. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Pleased to Meet Me by SG Wilson is the first book in a new series that had me laughing from the beginning to the end.

Will Average Me be able to stop Meticulous Me?

Average Me

Average Me is the main character of the book. We follow him into meeting the other Me's. Average Me and the Other Mes are all named Meade Macon, but they are all different from each other. He is only thirteen years old and has put a lot of pressure on himself to be something more. Let that be an inventor like his dad, a scientist like his mom, an actor, a basketball player, or even a teacher. Average Me tries to do some of these things and isn't good at any of them. The one thing that I like about Average Me is that out of all of the Me's, he's the only one who isn't afraid to just be ordinary.

The Other Mes

Average Me goes to Me Con, and it's a convention where you meet the other versions of yourself. There is a lot of different Meade Macon's there. A total of ninety-nine, to be exact. I won't say much as you need to read the book, but each Me, as I said above, are completely different from each other. It shows by how they are all dressed, they act, and how they are to the other Mes. Meticulous Me is the I don't want to say Bad Guy Me, but that's basically what he is.

Five Stars

Pleased to Meet Me by SG Wilson is only the beginning of this new series. It takes a bit of time to get situated with all the nicknames for all the Mes, but you will get used to it. I am giving it five stars as it was a good read. I liked its originality and how much time the author took to build each of the Me's worlds. Not only that, but to make them different while also the same for Average Me to recognize himself in the other Mes. Besides the way that they look with the same hair color and look. I am also recommending it to anyone that wants to give it a shot.

Me vs. the Multiverse Series
