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 ofStepping Up
____________________________________________________________________________________________________

Have you ever wondered how normal you are
What if you wereperfectlyaverage
More than anyone else.

For Emily it's true. When she watches a documentary on the average human she seesher 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 wantsmore.

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 forMy (extra)Ordinary Life

'Snortingly funny and painfully perceptive, Ryan is brilliant on themessiness and awkwardness of grief, love, family and figuring out how to be yourselfin a worldthat 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

'I LOVED this sparkling debut...Heroine Emily's quest not to be ordinary is both hysterically funny & desperately moving. I laughed out loud & I cried. Brilliant, immersive & unputdownable.' Tracy Rees
