Book Description
Ever revealed your true feelings about your best-friend's ex, only to have them get back together? Or discovered that the looks of admiration you've been getting because of your sexy new outfit are really because you've got your skirt tucked in to your knickers? This book is for you. Kerry Spence is stuck in a dead end ad-agency job and a holding pattern with an ex-boyfriend who won't quite stay ex. Every time she lets the 'gorgeous Sam' back into her bed, Kerry swears it's the last but somehow she can't resist. Everyone has an opinion about what Kerry's next move should be. Her mother thinks handsome, successful Sam may be 'the best she can do'. Kerry's favourite self-help book says that she needs to find inner peace before she finds Mr Right, and her friends think the road to fulfilment should be paved with more mojitos. Meanwhile Kerry's therapist recommends that she keep a 'diary of past encounters with men that may be contributing to a dysfunctional quasi-relationship' - or, as Kerry sees it, a journal of mortifying moments. In these pages, amid the laugh-out-loud hilarity of Kerry's exploits, emerges the story of a woman who needs to learn how to stop trying.

Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 40
Book Description
A hilarious nonfiction picture book from the New York Times bestselling author and creator of Awkward Yeti. Oh hey, guess what? The Sun never stops working to keep things on Earth running smoothly. (That's why it's been Employee of the Month for 4.5 billion years.) So why does the Sun get to be the center of attention? Because it's our solar system's very own star! This funny and factual picture book from Awkward Yeti creator Nick Seluk explains every part of the Sun's big job: keeping our solar system together, giving Earth day and night, keeping us warm, and more. In fact, the Sun does so much for us that we wouldn't be alive without it. That's kind of a big deal. Each spread features bite-sized text and comic-style art with sidebars sprinkled throughout. Anthropomorphized planets (and Pluto) chime in with commentary as readers learn about the Sun. For instance, Mars found someone's rover. Earth wants the Sun to do more stuff for it. And Jupiter just wants the Sun's autograph. Funny, smart, and accessible, The Sun Is Kind of a Big Deal is a must-have!
