New Year's Eve 2019

While everyone else is popping champagne corks and ringing in a new decade, Alison—The Accidental Plus One—is crammed into a flying tin can somewhere over the Equator, obsessing over whether she remembered to lock the front door.

Can she really uproot her life halfway across the world—again?

Rural calm was sweet while it lasted, but when Alison's partner's job prospects dwindle, the lure of a new adventure on the far side of the planet proves irresistible.

This time, she promises herself, it'll be easy. Fewer things to pack. No dog to uproot. Renting rather than buying. And before she knows it, Alison is heading for a land of giant spiders, the world's longest lockdown and a place where strangers call you mate.

The Accidental Plus One Down Under is a heartwarming and humorous memoir that proves sometimes love leads us on the most unpredictable journeys.
