‘I absolutely loved this book! Charming, funny – I laughed out loud several times' SARAH TURNER (The Unmumsy Mum), author of Stepping Up
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.

I won’t beat about the bush, I loved this book. It is like Rebecca Ryan went inside my head, opened a few dusty boxes, rooted around and discovered all the things I think make a perfect story and then wrote it for me.... More
