Emmy Abrahamson
Maya’s career as a stand‐up comedian isn’t going that great. When
thinking about it, life outside of work isn’t exactly stellar either.
A er all, she did break in to that cabin to steal that booze, and she
surprised her BFF by stripping the wallpaper off the walls in her country
house ‐ a job half done, really ‐ and she managed to miss what could
have been an important step in her career because of a really obs nate
dog. But who said ac ng a bit looney at mes is any reason to be
dragged away in a strait jacket?
Following the massive success of How to Fall in Love with a Man Who
Lives in a Bush, (over 100,000 copies sold in Sweden alone) Emmy
Abrahamson returns with her trademark wit in this quirky, funny and
hear elt story about daring to go your own way, even when the going
gets tough.
‘Despite the serious subject, this is a warm and very funny book with
observa ons that are on par with Amy Schumer’s.’
