About this ebook

<p><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 11pt; color: #000000;">A hilarious and not-so-serious memoir about how funny girl, Summer Land, raised her ovaries in middle class America before falling in love and moving to Australia with her coal-mining husband. Summerlandish is all the hard-won, scar-leaving, tattoo-regretting, butthole-tearing lessons Summer has learned over the years &ndash; &ldquo;summer-ised&rdquo; here in all their glamorously gory detail, so you don&rsquo;t have to bother with learning them yourselves. And, surprisingly, she seems to know quite a bit about love, life and awkward moments involving too much caffeine and/or lack of restraint.</span></p>

<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: verdana, geneva; color: #000000;">Born in West Virginia and raised in Florida, Summer Land graduated magna cum laude from Emerson College in Boston in 2008 where she studied Marketing. After embarking on a Working Holiday in Australia and spending two ski seasons in Park City, Utah, Summer moved to Australia in 2010 where she settled down in Mudgee, NSW and began writing.</span></p>

Her writing work has also been featured in Elle Australia, Cosmopolitan Australian, Mamamia and Women&rsquo;s Health. Today, Land is a contributor to The Tot and is working on a novel. <span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0cm;">I Now Pronounce You Husband and Expat</span>&nbsp;is her second book.</span></p>

I thought it was great. She reminded me quite a bit of Chelsea Handler, only maybe more grounded. I spent the majority of the book laughing - alternating whether it was With her or At her. I definitely recommend & definitely hope to read more from her in the future!
