Description
‘Memories warm you up from the inside. But they also tear you apart.’ Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore
Unlike her daredevil husband, Susie Kelly is afraid of water, elevators, heights, skiing and flying upside down... and she hates being in the spotlight.
No matter how hard she tries, things seem to go wrong more often than they go right. Fortunately she can see the funny side of most things, even her cancer diagnosis. However, snoring transforms her from a sweet little thing into a pitiless monster.
These often funny and sometimes poignant tales of travels through Susie’s muddled life confirm that, as Simon Reeve writes in his autobiography ‘Step by Step’, ‘…it is always worth remembering that some of the most memorable times can happen when things go a bit wrong.'

Oh, these were good! I enjoy books like this- short little snippets of someone's life- and humorous. It's akin to reading bits of someone's journal. It's all pretty relatable, too. Life throws stuff our way- husbands, ex's, child(ren), pets, jobs, school, etc- and things go south when least expected. But it's all survivable and really won't matter in the grand scheme of things. Best find the sunny side! And Susie Kelly has done just that! Truly an enjoyable book. So grab a cup or glass of something, find a sunny spot, and be prepared to have a a knowing laugh!
