Claire Boosey: I Can't Stop Pushing, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

One cruise ship contract. One unexpected announcement. One totally unpredictable future.

Olivia Field, mid-twenties and stuck in a rut, is still living at home and working the same hotel job she's had for five years. While her friends are off exploring the world, she's craving a change. So, she signs a contract to work on a cruise ship, hoping it might be the escape she needs. But everything flips upside down when she's asked to model in a fashion show... and is suddenly introduced on stage as "engaged and expecting a baby"...with a man she's never even met. That's when she meets James.

What follows is a true story of whirlwind romance, medical curveballs, and a whole lot of winging it. From a surprise pregnancy to a wedding, and two very different birth stories...one of which ends with her "sitting on the bed, fully clothed, shitting herself" ... nothing goes to plan. Throw in a global pandemic, a serious health scare, and the heartbreaking loss of their beloved cat, Mo, and Olivia finds herself juggling motherhood, marriage, and moments of absolute mayhem.

But there's laughter too. Lots of it. Including peeing on a nest of red ants and, yes... the ultimate poonami.

This isn't a perfect story wrapped up in a neat bow ... because real life doesn't work that way. It's raw, honest, and messy in all the best ways. From tantrums and toilet training to just trying to make it out the bloody door, Olivia keeps showing up. She doesn't always have the answers (or clean knickers), but she keeps pushing through.
