My (extra)Ordinary Life

Meer over het boek

"I absolutely loved this book! Charming, funny – I laughed out loud several times – and plenty of heartstring-pulling moments to boot." Sarah Turner (The Unmumsy Mum), author of Stepping Up. Have you ever wondered how normal you are? What if you were perfectly average? For Emily, this realization hits hard when she sees a documentary on the average human and recognizes herself in it—her job, her hair, her favorite food, even her blood type. Determined to break free from her ordinary life, she decides to travel the world (or at least leave her hometown), become a vegan (because hating cheese is interesting), and do something daring (as long as it’s safe). Nothing will stop Emily from living her best life, not even Josh and his dimples, because falling in love would be too ordinary. Emily is set on being extraordinary. Praise for this debut highlights its humor and emotional depth, with one reviewer calling it "snortingly funny and painfully perceptive." Readers have found Emily to be a fiercely lovable protagonist, relatable in her mistakes and victories. This charming novel is a heartwarming read, tackling the complexities of grief and love in an original way, making it far from average.
