“This has never been done before. No person, no woman, no young woman has ever admitted to being the centre of the universe.”

Fifteen year-old Mary has no discernible talent but she can’t ignore the glaring signs. When a TikTok influencer comes to her school, Mary knows she is destined for greatness. By the age of 23, she will make it to the top. No matter the cost.

Centre of the Universe is a laugh out loud search for meaning in a success-obsessed society.
