My (Extra)Ordinary Life

Description

Snortingly funny and painfully perceptive, Ryan is brilliant on the messiness and awkwardness of grief, love, family and figuring out how to be yourself in a world that just wants you to be normal . Emily is one of the most fiercely loveable protagonists I ve met in a long time. I cringed at her mistakes like they were my own, cheered on her victories like they were my best friend s, and felt totally bereft when it was over Lauren Bravo _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Have you ever wondered how normal you are? What if you were perfectly average? More than anyone else. For Emily - it s true. When she watches a documentary on the average human she sees her life. Her job, her hair, her favourite food. All of her - plainly, horrifically average. Even her blood group. Right there and then, she decides she wants more. She ll travel the world (i.e. venture out of her hometown) She ll become a vegan (it s interesting to hate cheese, right?) She ll do something daring (As long as it s safety tested) Nothing will stand in the way of Emily living her best life. Not even Josh and his dimples. Because she absolutely can t fall in love... that would be too ordinary. And from now on, Emily is going to be extraordinary. Praise for My (extra)Ordinary Life This book just spoke to me Had me chortling out loud while at some points shedding a tear I couldn t put it down A story that can make you laugh out loud and well-up Vivid, sparkling and entertaining - what a great debut I LOVED everything about this book Such a gorgeous story

loved writing, it hadn’t really occurred to her that

she could do it professionally. She currently splits

enjoys walking in the countryside and takeaways

(if that counts as a hobby), which it probably doesn t.
