Two For Tuesday: Rebecca Ryan @WriteBecsWrite @simonschusterUK #MyExtraOrdinaryLife #ThePhilosophyOfLove #RebeccaRyan #TwoForTuesday

Good morning everyone I hope you all had a good Christmas. We did, it was a bit hectic with three kids but we had a great time.

Today on Two For Tuesday I’m featuring two books by one of my favourite authors Rebecca Ryan! I absolutely loved My (Extra) Ordinary Life when I read it and rate it as one of my favourite books ever. I was therefore incredibly excited to be invited onto the blog tour for her new book The Philosophy Of Love. As you can imagine I’m very excited to read it soon – though I’m still hoping for a sequel to My Extra Ordinary Life as I’d love to read more about Emily!

Out 01 February 2024.

Do you have a book character you wanted to spend more time with?

The Philosophy Of Life

What is love? Is it something spiritual or wholly physical? Can our feelings be explained and quantified? Or are we all actually two halves of a whole?

Ask Alice and Luke and you’d receive vastly different answers.

Despite her world having been recently dismantled by a messy break-up, Alice would tell you that love is the most important – albeit ineffable – human experiences. But when she once again crosses paths with her old school nemesis, Luke, he challenges this. Luke is a scientist and he’s certain love can be measured and explained – just like everything else.

So the two decide to make a bet: they’ll each venture back into dating and if one of them falls in love, Alice wins, if not, then Luke does.

But can anyone win when you’re playing with emotions?

My (Extra) Ordinary Life

For Emily – it’s true. When she watches a documentary on the average human she sees her life. Her job, her hair, her favourite food. All of her – plainly, horrifically average. Even her blood group. Right there and then, she decides she wants more. 

She’ll travel the world (i.e. venture out of her hometown)

She’ll become a vegan (it’s interesting to hate cheese, right?) 

She’ll do something daring (As long as it’s safety tested) 

Nothing will stand in the way of Emily living her best life. Not even Josh and his dimples. Because she absolutely can’t fall in love… that would be too ordinary. 

And from now on, Emily is going to be extraordinary.
