Beschreibung

A hilariously honest novel about pretending to have your life together when it's clearly falling apart.
 
Emily Bennett has perfected the art of looking like she has it all together. Steady job? Check. Apartment with actual furniture? Check. A houseplant named Herbert that's somehow still alive? Check.
 
But behind her carefully crafted façade, Emily is drowning. Between passive-aggressive emails from Brenda in accounting, a boss who uses the phrase "crushing our goals" unironically, and a mother who thinks grandchildren "don't just appear," Emily's grip on sanity is slipping fast.
 
When a public meltdown at work forces her into therapy, Emily reluctantly begins journaling her thoughts, documenting her journey from chaos to...slightly more manageable chaos. Through panic attacks in meeting rooms, failed attempts at self-care, and the occasional flash of clarity, Emily discovers that maybe—just maybe—the secret to being a functional adult isn't having it all figured out, but learning to embrace the beautiful mess of reality.
 
With razor-sharp wit and painful honesty, Diary of a Semi-Functional Adult captures the millennial experience of burnout, boundaries, and finding your way back to yourself when life has other plans. This refreshingly candid novel speaks to anyone who's ever felt overwhelmed by adulthood, questioned their life choices at 3 AM, or hidden in a bathroom stall to avoid their responsibilities.
 
A perfect read for those navigating the chaos of modern life who need a reminder that they're not alone in the struggle—and that sometimes, just surviving is its own kind of success.

    Poppy Mortimer is hungry for love. Will she find The One, or lose her appetite for men, forever? 
    Smart, attractive, and fueled by wide-eyed optimism, Poppy Mortimer leaves rainy England to start a new life—and find the perfect man—in exotic Australia. Surely somewhere out there, a Chris Hemsworth impersonator is just waiting to whisk her off her feet and show her the real charms of ‘Down Under’. 
    But as Poppy launches into 28 dates, ranging from the outright hysterical to borderline traumatic, it becomes clear she’s going to have to kiss a few frogs—assuming she doesn’t croak first. From the seven-foot giant with a disturbing workout practice, to the exclusive party that turns out to be a lot more than just cocktails and canapes, Poppy starts to wonder if she should sue Disney for giving her false hope. 
    With gusto, humour, and a lot of heart, Poppy digs deep into her past as a child of divorce, and her ongoing journey as a modern woman and devoted romantic. Through laughter, tears, and characters that are truly stranger than fiction, Poppy won’t stop until she finds true love—or something even greater. 
    Fans of Bridget Jones’s Diary and Sex and the City (or any person who wants to feel better about their own dating life) will love this book. 
    5-STAR REVIEWS: 
    "I laughed so hard in this book I think I peed my pants a few times as who doesn't love a great dating story gone wrong. I hope there is a sequel!" 
    "Very well written plenty of humour and very amusing to read. Most women reading this can relate to the disastrous dates they have had in their lives and maybe look back and laugh at the incidents like in this splendid book." 
    "Hilarious. 'I loved reading the funny and weird dating stories."

    The Road to Villa Page: A He Said/She Said Memoir of Buying Our Dream Home in France is the first in a series of books that captures the experience of living in the Dordogne region of France, as filtered through the eyes of an American family from a “he said, she said” perspective. Our story begins with falling in love with France, specifically the enchanting Dordogne. We weren’t the first and we won’t be the last. The region was an inspiration to prehistoric man, as the earliest known works of art are to be found in the nearby caves of Lascaux. From the 1000 chateaux perched on towering cliffs overhanging the meandering Dordogne River to the countless plus beaux villages (most beautiful villages) dotting the region, it is truly a magical place.The first book is a roller-coaster ride of the ups and downs of making the dream a reality, beginning with, Oh my God, are we really doing this?! To looking for the home, getting a loan, wading through the red tape of actually moving, and studying French! Finally, the most important part of making “our” dream come true, adopting a baby girl to make the journey complete.

    LOOK, NOBODY'S GOING TO SUGARCOAT IT - GERMAN HAS A REPUTATION 
    Four grammar cases. Crazy long words. Those guttural sounds that make your throat hurt. 
    Everyone's heard the jokes. Your friends probably laughed when you said you were learning German. "Good luck with that," they said. 
    But here's what nobody tells you: German gets a bad rap it doesn't deserve. 
    The truth? If you speak English, you're already halfway there. German and English are linguistic cousins - thousands of words are nearly identical. "Water" is "Wasser." "Book" is "Buch." You already know more German than you think. 
    The real problem isn't German itself. It's how most people try to learn it - drowning in grammar tables before they can even say "Guten Tag." 
    "Conversational German Dialogues" by Language Mastery flips that approach completely. 
    HERE'S WHAT ACTUALLY WORKS: 
    ✓ 100+ real conversations by native German speakers - the German people actually use in Berlin, Munich, and Vienna 
    ✓ Two-speed audio: Start slow to nail pronunciation, then speed up as your brain catches on 
    ✓ Story-driven learning that's actually interesting - vocabulary just sticks while you're entertained 
    ✓ Grammar you absorb naturally - no memorizing tables, just learning like kids do 
    ✓ Quick comprehension checks so you know you're progressing 
    ✓ Practical vocabulary for real situations 
    IN 30 DAYS YOU'LL: 
    ✓ Stop being intimidated and start enjoying German 
    ✓ Understand native speakers without panicking 
    ✓ Speak with confidence (even if your grammar isn't perfect yet) 
    ✓ Open doors to career opportunities in Europe's largest economy 
    No grammar drills. No boring textbooks. No feeling stupid. 
    Just real German that makes sense. The kind that gets you talking. 
    READY TO PROVE EVERYONE WRONG ABOUT GERMAN BEING "TOO HARD"? START NOW.
