How I Got Dumped And Travelled Far And Wide In Search Of True Love.
In the long-awaited, hilarious and heartfelt follow-up to 'There's A Bear In There' we follow Merridy Eastman's fortunes in search for true love.
'Ridiculous Expectations' is the next exciting instalment of Merridy Eastman's hectic and eventful life. She's written a bestseller and been ditched by her builder boyfriend for a waitress named Nancy, and everyone seems to think she'll find Mr Right very soon. In England, to be specific, where she will be spending three months (sleeping on her sister's sofa bed), attending all sorts of social occasions (with her wacky sister).
Merridy's story is that of a woman who has kissed a lot of frogs and never found her prince. Will she find him this time, or does she have ridiculous expectations of men? Are English men really any different to Aussie blokes? Should she hold out for true love or settle for less? And will her family ever behave like normal people?
The age-old tale of Australians trying to make it in the UK gets a new twist as Merridy encounters difficulties with the English and their eccentricities. It's about class, culinary, cultural and communication differences and goes straight to the core of what we love and hate about those who colonised Oz all those centuries ago.
This is real life chick lit for grown-up girls with all the characteristic humour and compassion that made 'There's A Bear In There' such a hit. Does Merridy find her prince? You'll have to read it to find out.
