Overview

The struggle is real! Mica's funny journey towards acceptance of her body, men, her family, and her sexuality. 'Your life is like one, long, European summer vacation!' her friends said. Whilst not exactly true, Mica does spend a lot of time relocating and living in fun places. London in the UK. Nice in the South of France. Sydney in Australia. Fun, fun, fun. More energy spent relocating is less energy spent looking inward, right? Because Mica, who is Australian-born to a Central American mother and a British father, has inherited her mother's distrust of men, and she's reached adulthood having skipped the Romantic Relationships part. She is single. Always been single. Really single. She begins to wonder if she might be gay. So, she drinks her way into a gay relationship (as she has drunk her way into many a straight one-night stand prior). Then, she decides she isn't gay. But she doesn't know how to backtrack. It's tricky. Mica fails at expressing how she feels, and the new girlfriend clings to hope, and follows her to the South of France. The result is Mica's entertaining struggle on the beaches of Nice with thoughts of 'Be an adult and just end it, ' and 'What's the harm? Let's ride this out.' All the time, Mica hides her girl relationship from her Central American black magic family in Australia, who do eventually find out when she's back on Australian soil, and Mica comes out of the closet, even though by this stage she is definitely on the heterosexual road. It's a long and very bumpy road towards self-acceptance for this 35-year old! The story is a mix of comedy and travel memoir. It's for anyone who's travelled and had one of those relationships where you think, 'I'm not exactly sure what I was thinking there!' Warning: The author uses vivid descriptions. The reader may find themself craving a red wine and thin-crust pizza in the South of France. The book has British spelling.
