Midlife Without a Map
“This is not a self-help book. I’m the one needing help.”
Life for Liz Champion has a tendency to go amusingly awry. From trying to survive a 24-hour endurance race with no training, to taking on a mountain adventure for her fortieth birthday, to close encounters with a great white shark on holiday, Liz’s good intentions never quite go to plan. In this nonfiction collection, Liz shares her many mishaps and meltdown moments over holidays and away days, the grind of the daily commute, technology failures, and the ordeal of trying to organise Christmas with her chaotic family. Honest, awkward, and all-too relatable, the stories are quick to find the funny side of life. So put the kettle on and join Liz as she trundles along, trying to navigate midlife without a map.

Putting it simply, Liz Champion's writing makes me happy. She's funny and relatable, but beyond that I admire how she chronicles her life and her moods. Her writing is freedom--she openly expresses her highs and lows, in a way I find refreshing and inspiring.
There's the scope of her imagination, too, which bestows significance on many events and makes daily life more exciting. I recommend this for anyone who wants to try celebrating the everyday in their writing, and for those who just want to enjoy life more freely.
