“Honour writes with quick wit and bruised candor about her rocky first few months in Cyprus, during which she moped and struggled to adapt to the relaxed pace of life. Then, with equal panache, Honour illustrates how, as her husband’s work whisked them to Copenhagen and then Berlin, she learned to extricate her self-worth from being a “New Yorker” or an “expat,”… This will resonate with anyone who’s had to redefine themselves under unexpected circumstances.”

“Oh what a book! I devoured every word, every page and every chapter within a few days.
She writes with wisdom, humour and perfectly measured sharpness resulting in a truly clever memoir that had me laughing out loud and clapping my hands in admiration for a writer that tells it like it is and does a brilliant job in doing so.”

— Keri Bloomfield, author of Nothing Like a Dane

“…woah!—just as her own insecure, stuck and clearly not quite-there-yet expat persona dusted herself off and found her stride, the already beautiful writing became fierce and poignant, whimsical and funny, and I ended up highlighting half of the book.”

— Stephanie X Cook, author of Transcontinental Overload
