A hilarious memoir of a 25-year-old 'average American girl' growing up Gen Y in Gainesville, Florida, as the outspoken outrageous child of an alternative single mum.

Summer Land may only be twenty-five years old, but her attention-hungry discretion-free egomaniacal disposition has landed her in more hot water situations than you've had changes of underwear. This collection of outrageous stories marks the quarter-century long journey of Summer Land from babyhood in Gainesville, Florida to how in holy hell she ended up shacked-up, married-up and knocked-up in Mudgee with an Australian who spends most of his time 15km underground (even on Valentine's Day).

Summerlandish is all the hard-won, scar-leaving, tattoo-regretting, butthole-tearing lessons Summer has learned over the years - summarised here in all their glamorously gory detail, so you don't have to bother with learning them yourselves. And, unsurprisingly, she seems to know quite a bit about love, life and awkward moments involving too much caffeine and/or lack of restraint.

Summer Land

Summer Land has authored and ghostwritten over ten books including The Mindful High Performer (Chelsea Pottenger), Acting Up (Lynne McGranger), A Joyful Life (Rosemary Kariuki) and Aussie Ark (Tim Faulkner). Her debut memoir, Summerlandish: Do As I Say, Not As I Did, earned Summer a nomination for Cosmopolitan’s “Fun Fearless Female Award” and garnered praise from 2014 Stella Prize winner, Clare Wright, who wrote, “Summer Land is Gen Y’s answer to Bill Bryson.

She’s an inveterate outlier who drags you in from the cold and wraps you in a great warm blanket of Summer lovin’. With an eye for the absurd, an ear for language and a nose for poop (actual poop, not bullpoop), Summer welcomes you into her hilarious world of cross-cultural misadventure. With her cherry-chapsticked all-American cheerleader charm, she will steal your heart and open your mind to life’s strange but true potential.”

When she's not writing, Summer is passionate about helping individuals and teams collaborate more efficiently, perform more effectively and produce work that doesn't come at the cost of their mental health. Through her role as a keynote speaker for EQ Minds, she gives people the confidence and mindfulness tools needed to act triumphantly and sustainably in everyday life.
